The most beloved princess in the prosperous world
Chapter 152 Marquis Wenchang
Chapter 152 Marquis Wenchang
As soon as Yan Jing finished speaking, the envoys of the Kingdom of Chen stood up one after another, and looked at Yan Jing with anger on their faces, "It is the attitude of the Lord of Beiyan to insult me in the Imperial Study Room of the Kingdom of Chen with such words. Is it?"
The envoys from the Kingdom of Chen were naturally filled with righteous indignation, and the envoys from other countries did not expect Yan Jing to say such words in front of everyone. They all looked at Yan Jing with complicated expressions. In his eyes, out of consideration of the interests of the country, he naturally hoped to see these two great powers in the Central Plains pinching each other, so as to do a good job of benefiting the fisherman.
However, compared to the righteous indignation of the envoys behind him, Ruan Fu looked calm and calm, not blushing and angry, drinking tea slowly, only Yu Wujue raised his eyes to Yan Jing when Yan Jing said this, his eyes widened. There was a touch of icy color in it.
Yan Jing saw the atmosphere of Chen Guo being prepared, she squinted her eyes slightly, and there was a trace of laziness in her expression, "What are you all anxious about, I was just joking, Ruan Tongzhi has been walking outside for many years, never You can't afford such a joke, can you?"
Yan Jing looked at Ruan Fu leisurely, seeing her unmoved, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips. For so long, it seems that no one will ever be able to find out where Ruan Fu's emotional changes are.
"Are you kidding me? I'm afraid that the King of Beiyan doesn't know. Even though I, Ruan Tongzhi, travel abroad, I have contacts with people from all walks of life. However, whoever treats you with courtesy, or is in awe, such an unrefined joke as the King, I'm afraid even Ruan Tongzhi's most unpopular opponent will not be able to open it, this time, I will accompany the prince and Ruan Tongzhi to participate in this alliance of nations, and I have gained some experience." Li Xiudang said first.
Hearing this, Yan Jing's expression turned a little ugly.
Seeing this, Yan Linglong turned her eyes and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is very eloquent, but it's a bit of a fuss to elevate a temporary joke to a national ceremony like this.
"The Central Plains has always attached great importance to etiquette. What the princess said, could it be that Beiyan stayed in the northern Central Plains for too long and had too much contact with Anxia. After a hundred years, she has forgotten all the things of her ancestors. Open to the right?" Yu Wufan sarcastically said.
Ever since Yan Linglong targeted Tsing Yi from the very beginning, Yu Wufan didn't want to see Yan Linglong. In fact, he never wanted to see Yan Jing and Yan Linglong.
As soon as Yu Wufan said this, the envoys from various countries on the high platform looked at Yan Jing with subtle expressions, and had too much contact with An Xia. Could it be that Yan Jing and An Xia...
Even Huangfu Yu squinted at Yan Jing.
When Beiyan's envoys heard the words, they all stood up, and there was a momentary stalemate between the two sides. On this high platform, it seemed that there was a tendency to explode at any moment.
Yan Linglong heard the words, and said coldly, "Is King Ji taking the opportunity to humiliate Beiyan, or is he implying something to stir up discord among the nations?"
Yu Wufan smiled coldly, "This king is just reminding me, otherwise the princess may ask whether the words of the king of Beiyan are a joke or an opportunity to humiliate, or the lord of a country is speaking, but this king understands Why the Northern Yan King has been on the throne for many years, but still needs a princess to rule."
These words are not harmless, even when Yanjing heard it, her complexion became dark, and Yan Linglong's complexion changed even more. Since this year, the relationship between her and the emperor's brother has been harmonious on the surface, but in fact it is not so happy Yes, and Brother Huang already had the intention of suppressing her in secret, now Yu Wufan said this.
Yan Linglong smiled coldly, "Ruan Tongzhi, your country is so aggressive, is it just the etiquette of the Central Plains?"
Ruan Fu raised his eyes to look at Yan Linglong at this moment, seeing that anger had risen in her eyes, he turned his head and said with a smile, "My lords, you don't have to be so angry, Bei Yan is rude, but we still have to maintain our state of Chen. Otherwise, wouldn't it look similar?"
The envoy of Chen Kingdom behind her seemed to have just realized it, "Ruan Tongzhi is right, I will be taught."
Ruan Fu turned back to look at Yan Linglong with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Princess, don't be angry, they are all upright and upright people, and they just care about Ruan Fu. If Bei Yan and the princess don't want to cause unfriendliness among the nations, some It’s better to keep jokes as little as possible, after all, Beiyan may be used to this kind of atmosphere, but the rest of us in the Central Plains always abide by etiquette.”
Hearing this, Yan Linglong's eyes grew even more angry, but seeing Ruan Fuying's smile, she finally just sat down with a brush of her sleeves and said no more.
The envoys from various countries on the high platform were silent when they saw Bei Yan and Chen Guo, each had their own thoughts, Yan Jing's face darkened, and the atmosphere on the high platform seemed to have fallen into a certain frozen atmosphere, but Ruan Fu didn't seem to be aware of it. After the movement just now, the fat man in her arms had woken up. At this moment, she was lying on Ruan Fu's shoulder, looking lazily at the envoys from various countries on the high platform. The nimble eyes looked innocent, but they felt unapproachable.
Ruan Fu had a faint smile on his lips, and turned his head to look at Pangpang, but his eyes were gentle and full of warmth, there was no such thing as Yan Linglong who was so speechless.
Yu Wujue glanced at Ruan Fu, a smile flickered from the corner of his eyes, and shook his head slightly.
And when everyone watched this weird scene, the gentle but absolutely lethal woman and a soft and cute fox couldn't be combined with Meng Changqing in their eyes.
Huangfu squinted at Ruan Fu, she was so calm and wise, calm and breezy, as if no matter what happened, she couldn't destroy her, he pursed his lips, and suddenly smiled, "Okay, okay, after you speak How can there be no verbal friction between us, today's focus is on the competition in the ring."
As soon as Huangfu Yu spoke, everyone raised their glasses one after another, "Emperor Nanhua is right."
Yan Jing didn't say anything, just stretched out her hand to pick up the wine glass at hand, but the wine glass just got into her hand, for some reason, the delicate glass burst suddenly, Yan Jing didn't have time to react, when she realized something strange, the wine glass was already shattered It was in his hand, and he couldn't dodge it in time, not only was the wine splashed all over his body, but blood was also overflowing from the palm of his hand.
Everyone originally raised their glasses of wine as a gesture to relieve the embarrassment at this moment, but this surprising and unexpected scene happened before the wine was drunk, and all eyes turned to Yan Jing.
Yan Linglong exclaimed, "Brother Huang!"
The envoys behind Yanjing also stood up one after another, "Your Majesty!"
Yan Jing looked cold, ignored the scar on her palm, and looked at Yu Wujue with gloomy eyes, only Yu Wujue looked leisurely, holding a wine glass in her hand, drinking gracefully.
Everyone saw Yan Jing's expression, and immediately looked at Yu Wujue, but they were more surprised that Yu Wujue was able to break the wine glass in Yan Jing's hand with internal force without anyone noticing it. , and the distance between him and Yan Jing is at least two feet away. So, what level of his skill has reached?
Yu Wujue remained unmoved, and turned his eyes to Yan Jing who had been looking at him, still so gentle and handsome, with a leisurely posture and incomparable dignity, "It's better to let the imperial doctor see the king's wound."
Huangfu Yu also frowned at this time and said, "Take the monarch to the apse to change clothes, and bring the imperial doctor over."
Only then did Yan Jing shake her sleeves and leave with a cold face.
Yu Wujue didn't realize it, and there was still a faint smile on his lips. Seeing this, Ruan Fu bent his lips and turned to look at Yu Wujue, just as Yu Wujue's eyes turned around , only the corners of the lips still have something to say.
What a small belly, Ruan Fu secretly said in his heart.
On the other side, Wu's envoy, King Zhong turned his head slightly to look at General You Guang, signaling with his eyes.
You Guang frowned and shook his head.
King Zhong wanted to ask him if he could detect when Yu Wujue made a move, but You Guang didn't notice it. You Guang is a general of Wu, and he is known as the number one expert in Wu. It's beyond the reach of ordinary people, but if even he can't perceive Yu Wujue's skill, it can only show that Yu Wujue's skill is definitely not a level higher than his, and he has to be shocked immediately.
At least his martial arts have been taught by experts, and more importantly, he was born in the common people. Before he became a general of the Wu Kingdom, he devoted himself to martial arts, but Yu Wujue is a royal grandson, a member of the royal family. In order to protect himself and strengthen his body, how did Yu Wujue do it...
You Guang thought silently in his heart that if he could compete with Yu Wujue, it would definitely be of great benefit to his martial arts cultivation.
Yan Jing left temporarily, the competition on the high platform was still going on, everyone's eyes were gradually attracted by the competition on the high platform again.
On the other side, in the back hall of the high platform, Xu Yue couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said, "Ruan Fu!"
Mammy was startled, "Ma'am."
This reminder finally pulled back Xu Yue's mind, left the high platform, and stayed away from Ruan Fu. The depression caused by the illusion of Meng Ruan's return gradually disappeared from her body, and Xu Yue gradually recovered her calm. , Hearing Mammy's reminder, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she had recovered her nobility and grace as the Queen of Nanhua.
She looked up at Mammy, "Does Mammy think they look alike?"
The nanny has been taking care of Xu Yue since she was a child. After Xu Yue entered the palace, she also became the palace maid with the most power in Qifeng Palace. Since she was a child, she has seen everything about Xu Yue. Naturally, Know who Xu Yue is referring to at this moment.
Nanny is obviously much calmer than Xu Yue, and she has always been able to speak up when she is beside Xu Yue, and she also said, "The old slave said something offensive, the reason why the mother is so disturbed today is probably because It's a demon that arises."
Xu Yue frowned, pursed her lips and remained silent.
Seeing that she didn't become angry from embarrassment, the mother said, "I dare not say how much I know about that person, and I don't know what is going on with Tongzhi in the Imperial Study Room of Chen Kingdom. It's just that the person died in the fire, so the empress knows." Yes, even if that person is still alive and escaped by chance, at this moment, twenty years have already passed, but Ruan Fu is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, which is obvious."
Xu Yue said in a deep voice, "This is not what I asked."
The nanny bowed her head and said, "If you talk about the style of conduct, I'm afraid any woman in power will be like this. If not, how can you gain a foothold in a court full of men with a woman's body? What's more, the empress knows that man very well. , how can you not understand that the man who is so proud that he has to take His Majesty's words to heart is extremely hot, it was the midday sun, but this Ruan Tongzhi is calm and gentle..."
At the end, the nanny shook her head, "The only similarity is probably that this Ruan Tongzhi, like that person, is so capable of governing the country, with great means and foresight."
Xu Yue sighed after hearing this for a long time, "Actually, why can't I not see that there are thousands of differences between them, it's just..."
Xu Yue paused, and when she spoke again, her tone became a bit gloomy, "She came here in that outfit today, even though they are so different, I absolutely don't believe that there is no connection between the two of them!"
When the nanny heard this, she looked at Xu Yue in surprise, Xu Yue's eyes were gloomy, "I just have a feeling, Meng Ruan, I'm coming back!"
Mammy was startled. At this time, another palace maid came to report, "Your Majesty, the prime minister is asking Mr. Xu to see you."
Only then did Xu Yue come to his senses, "Father and elder brother are here, please come in quickly."
Xu Huaiwen and Xu Yuan'an entered the apse where Xu Yue was, "I see the Empress."
Sitting on the seat, Xu Yue saw his father and elder brother saluting to him, and said, "Father and elder brother don't need to salute like this, now, we are the only ones in this apse."
Xu Huaiwen stood up, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abandoned."
Xu Yue frowned, "I want to see my father well, don't I want my father to kneel and worship?"
Xu Huai pursed his lips after hearing the words for a long time before opening his mouth and saying, "Yue'er, you are in a bad mood now."
Xu Yue also knew that she was in a bad mood, so she just waved her hands, "You all go down, I have something to say to my father."
"Yes, madam..."
After the palace servants retreated, Xu Huaiwen and Xu Yuan'an sat down at the bottom of Xu Yue, frowning, and looked at Xu Yue.
Xu Yue rubbed her forehead, "Father, Ruan Fu..."
Xu Huaiwen said in a deep voice, "You have stayed in the palace for many years, but now you are just a Ruan Fu, can you lose your composure?"
Xu Yue was a little aggrieved, "Father, you told me how to be calm, you can see that Ruan Fu was never similar to Meng Ruan back then, even if his appearance changed, his person changed, everything changed, but , Her skills, her style and ability to handle political affairs, are never similar to Meng Ruan back then, why don't you tell your daughter not to be irritable."
"That's just similar, Meng Ruan is dead." Xu Huaiwen said coldly.
"Dead!" Xu Yue snorted coldly, "So what if she died, Meng Ruan is dead, but she has become a shadow in His Majesty's heart, which cannot be erased and cannot be taken away by anyone. His Majesty couldn't stand it back then. Meng Ruan, but once Meng Ruan died, he became the cinnabar in His Majesty's heart. No one can erase it. I am by His Majesty's side. I don't understand what His Majesty is thinking? In the past few years, Your Majesty has not expressed anything, and even heard Meng Ruan. He would be angry, but if he really didn't care, how could he be angry? His Majesty has been keeping a distance from that abandoned palace in recent years, but as soon as Ruan Fu appeared in Nanhua, His Majesty went to that abandoned palace, I went to see Queen Zhaorui!"
As soon as Xu Yue's words came out, Xu Huaiwen was shocked, "Yue'er..."
Xu Yue only had a wry smile in her heart, "Father, if Yue'er was just a little girl who was infatuated with His Majesty back then, how could she not understand His Majesty's temper when she entered the palace these years? Doesn't Father think that His Majesty has become more tolerant of what happened back then?" Well, my father still remembers what happened to Mr. Hu last year, if it wasn't for my father's secret pressure, I'm afraid His Majesty is just a thunderous anger and no wind and rain."
Xu Huaiwen's face darkened slightly, he pursed his lips and remained silent.
Xu Yue sighed, with a regretful tone, and glanced at her stomach, "After so many years, Yue'er's stomach has not moved, and the imperial doctor has always said that Yue'er's body has not been recuperated, but father? Didn't you ever doubt it?"
Xu Huaiwen suddenly raised his head to look at Xu Yue, a thought flashed in his mind, he grasped the handle of the chair tightly, his eyes shattered, "Your Majesty!"
Xu Yue smiled wryly, "How could Yue'er not understand Yue'er's body? Your Majesty, I'm just afraid that there will be another Meng family from back then."
Xu Huaiwen's fingertips pinching the handle of the chair turned white, the muscles at the corners of his lips were trembling with anger, his eyes were dark as if he was dizzy.
Xu Yuanan sat next to him, noticed Xu Huaiwen's expression, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Uncle, calm down!"
Xu Yue stood up quickly when she heard the words, and walked over, "Father!"
Although Xu Huaiwen was angry, he didn't lose his mind because of it. He just closed his eyes, and it took him a while to recover. After recovering, he taunted and said, "The bird is as good as the bow. Your Majesty, you have done us a disservice to our Xu family!"
Xu Yuanan also sighed, "Your Majesty's attitude has become more and more obvious in the past two years. Uncle must have been alerted, but His Majesty has never made any obvious actions."
Xu Huaiwen suddenly said, "The first day the Chen Kingdom envoy entered the palace was His Majesty's action."
At that time Xu Yuan'an hadn't come back yet, so he didn't know what was going on, but when he came back, he heard about Huangfu Yu's demotion to Cao Fang. Arrogant, when I think about it at this time, I just feel that I am afraid that there is a deep sacred meaning in it.
Pursing his lips, Xu Yuan'an said, "This time, His Majesty asked me to discuss the alliance with South Korea, but South Korea refused. When I returned to the court, His Majesty's attitude..."
"Is Your Majesty suspicious of you?" Xu Huaiwen asked coldly.
Xu Yuanan nodded.
Xu Huaiwen snorted coldly.
Seeing that Xu Yuan'an had recovered, Xu Yue said, "Father, I know that Ruan Fu is not Meng Ruan, but my daughter's feeling tells her that the two must be related."
"Yue'er, you!" Xu Huaiwen was a little dissatisfied, "Even if they are related, His Majesty can't do anything to a courtier from another country. Ruan Fu can't threaten you. Since His Majesty is already so unkind, we promise The family will never sit still, you just wait, your position as the lord of the palace will never change."
"Father, how can you be so confused!" Xu Yue said anxiously.
Xu Huai's complexion was not good when he heard this, but because Xu Yue was the queen, he only had a gloomy face.
Xu Yue was not reconciled, and said, "Father, have you forgotten what happened to the Meng family back then? Ruan Fu will not threaten my position in the middle palace, but she will threaten our Xu family in court or even The position in His Majesty's heart, now His Majesty has deliberately alienated our Xu family, if Ruan Fu is really related to Meng Ruan, what is the thing she wants to do most when she returns to Nanhua? It is the case of the Meng family back then, the Xu family Trying to figure out the holy will to let His Majesty push the boat smoothly, can my father believe that with her ability that is definitely not inferior to Meng Ruan, she will definitely be able to reverse the case? At that time, if His Majesty really intends to push the boat smoothly, we promise The family is the scapegoat!"
When Xu Huaiwen heard this, he raised his eyes to look at Xu Yue, shocked by Xu Yue's perception.
Xu Yue laughed mockingly, "My daughter doesn't know about court affairs, nor does she know the twists and turns between countries, but she understands women and Meng Ruan even more. Regardless of whether Ruan Fu has anything to do with Meng Ruan, if my daughter Looking at Ruan Fu from Meng Ruan's eyes, many things can never go wrong, and they can also prevent problems before they happen."
Xu Yuan'an was listening, already sweating from shock, his voice was a little dry and authentic, "Uncle, Empress, you are the one who is farsighted."
Xu Huaiwen was silent, Xu Yue had already made a decisive decision, "Father, Ruan Fu, I'm afraid I can't stay."
"Your Majesty, assassinating an envoy is a felony."
Xu Yue snorted coldly, "Ruan Fu can have thousands of ways to die, why don't we kill her and make a big show?"
"Ruan Fu's status in the Kingdom of Chen is very important. It is said that the emperor of the Kingdom of Chen treats her like his own daughter, and the relationship between her and the King of Jin may not be that simple. Ruan Fu's death in Nanhua will definitely cause troubles between the two countries. strife."
"Then if she didn't die at the hands of the South China people, wouldn't the Alliance of Nations be an excellent opportunity?"
Xu Yuan'an stared at Xu Yue blankly, not knowing for a moment when Xu Yue had such a plan.
Only Xu Huaiwen didn't know what he thought of, and a coldness appeared on the corner of his lips.
----
Today's competition didn't end until the evening, because of the friction between Chen Guo and Bei Yan, the weird atmosphere lasted until the end.
Later, Xu Yue came back after resting enough, but when she came back, she was a little different from before, and she could even look at Ruan Fu, Ruan Fu raised her eyebrows slightly after seeing her for the first time.
It seems that after being in the palace for many years, Xu Yue is not the Xu Yue she was back then.
It's just... She took a sip of tea silently, covering the coldness on her lips.
It's just the first day of the competition, although it's not particularly exciting, but Beiyan already has the meaning of making a difference with the eighteen warriors.
The warriors of Xihu had an accident in Nanhua, so the hunting competition was naturally at a disadvantage. The fourth prince of Xihu had a gloomy face throughout the competition, and the envoys from other countries probably had a little understanding of their own situation. However, the brows are also a little dignified.
Even so, when everyone left the hunting ground, they still exchanged pleasantries with each other. The two-month alliance between the various countries is just the beginning. There is no rush, the future will be long, it is better to take it slowly.
When Ruan Fu followed the Chen Kingdom's envoy and left the hunting ground meeting post, there were still a crowd of people around outside the hunting ground, frolicking and making noise very lively.
"It's getting dark, Zichang still not going back?"
"Why are you so anxious that you shouldn't go back because it's getting dark?" The man who responded had a hint of laziness and frivolity in his voice.
The people gathered at one side laughed meaningfully when they heard the words, "Haha, Zichang really deserves to be a frequent visitor of Caihuan Pavilion."
"Okay, Miss Xueyao is still waiting for my master, today is the time for Miss Xueyao to play music, and my master can't wait."
"Look at Zichang's anxious look, Miss Xueyao doesn't necessarily care about you, if you like that Miss Xueyao, spend money to redeem her and let her go to your Marquis House, when can you not listen to the community. "
Hearing this, the man had already stepped on it, and couldn't help but kicked the person who was talking, "Get out, Miss Xueyao, you can buy it with money and put it in the backyard!"
"Hahaha, just kidding, just kidding." The man was not angry after being kicked, and still laughed.
Xu Zichang, who had already mounted the horse, still had a ruffian smile on his face when he heard the words. He glanced at the person who was off the horse, stopped talking, and left on the horse.
Many playboys who had gathered together also dispersed one after another.
Ruan Fu's eyes just glanced over the group of people. The man who left on horseback was dressed in an expensive purple robe. When he was in a romantic mood, his figure had already disappeared around the corner.
Ruan Fu got into the carriage, without further words, the team of Chen Guo envoys also left slowly.
Yan Jing looked at the direction in which the Chen Kingdom's envoys were leaving, with deep eyes. The Chen Kingdom's envoys left the hunting ground and headed all the way to the posthouse. Ruan Fu was sitting in the carriage, thinking about today's hunting ground competition, his eyes widened. There are some contemplative colors in it.
The carriage slowly drove to the downtown area. At a certain place, the bustle outside had slowly entered the carriage. When the envoy returned to the post house, the people on the street dispersed one after another. The sound also came into the carriage, Ruan Fu gently opened the corner of the curtain, looked out of the window, and what caught his eyes was the Caihuan Pavilion with red walls, fat pink, almost sloppy, but the overall feeling But it does not make people feel vulgar, on the contrary, there is an indescribable sense of coordination and seduction. In late autumn, it gets dark early, and at this time the Caihuan Pavilion has already been lit up, and the sound of sensual dogs and horses has been faintly heard inside. .
Ruan Fu just took a look, then put down the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage continued to move forward, as if the bustle in front of him could not melt into the eyes and ears of the envoys of Kingdom Chen.
In the middle of the night, the entire posthouse was heavily guarded, and there was silence. It was the fourth watch, when people were sleeping soundly, but in the posthouse of Kingdom Chen, two figures quietly left the heavily guarded posthouse.
Caihuan Pavilion, a wing room on the third floor, is elegantly furnished. Tonight is the day when Xueyao comes out to play. After she finished playing, she chatted with the guests who came to listen to her play about some things about the rhythm. It didn't end until midnight.
But her makeup is exquisite, and there is no trace of fatigue on her face. She has just walked to the door of her room, and the two maids who brought her back are about to push away. Xueyao's eyes move slightly, her personal maid has already She opened the mouth and said, "Miss Xueyao has been tired all night. It is good that I take care of the girl here. You go to the kitchen and warm the white fungus, pear and lotus seed soup for the girl. The girl has talked all night, and she will use it later before she can fall asleep."
The maid's hand that pushed the door paused, "Yes."
Having said that, he backed away respectfully.
Only then did Xueyao push open the door and enter the room. The originally dark room became brighter when she opened the door. It was supposed to be a deserted and quiet room, but now there were three people sitting there.
Seeing this person, Xueyao was excited and moved, "Miss, master..."
Ruan Fu smiled slightly, "Xueyao, you have worked hard during this time."
Xueyao restrained her urge to go forward, and when she saw the person sitting next to Ruan Fu, she took a step back, "Xueyao has met His Royal Highness King Jin."
Yu Wujue nodded lightly and only hummed lightly.
Ruan Fu didn't think there was anything wrong, seeing this, Tsing Yi said, "Sit down first."
Xueyao just sat down, Ruan Fu smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but Xueyao's skill has improved." At least when she was outside the door, she had already sensed that there was someone in the room.
Xueyao smiled embarrassedly when she heard the words, "In the past two years, Xueyao has learned some internal skills, but has not achieved anything."
"It's always good to have some kung fu." Ruan Fu shook his head slightly.
"Xueyao knows that Master has been to Caihuan Pavilion twice, but she has never seen Miss."
Ruan Fu smiled and said, "I'm a bit busy these days, and even though I'm in Nanhua, Beiyan is watching closely." So, even if she has something to go out, she still needs to think carefully.
The appearance of Ruan Fu was naturally not just a whim of consciousness to come and see Caihuan Pavilion.
Xueyao said, "I don't know what Miss Xueyao needs to do?"
Ruan Fu smiled, "Xueyao, I heard that the young master of Wenchang Hou's family is a frequent visitor to Caihuan Pavilion."
Ruan Fu would not talk about Xu Zichang for no reason. Xueyao pursed her lips and said, "Xu Zichang is very popular in Nanhua, and he is famous for his fireworks. I'm afraid no one can match him."
"Oh?" Ruan Fu raised his eyebrows, Xueyao knew that Ruan Fu definitely didn't want to hear this, so he said immediately, "However, in Xueyao's opinion, this person is definitely not as obsessed with fireworks as he appears on the surface , Xueyao has been in Caihuan Pavilion for a long time, so she naturally knows what kind of people are really fascinated by fireworks. It was three or five days, but no one knew that when he was staying at the Caihuan Pavilion, he would not touch the prostitute girls in the Caihuan Pavilion. He likes to listen to Xueyao playing, although he often speaks frivolously and behaves frivolously, But Xueyao could tell that Xu Zichang's eyes were clear, even when he was flirting with women, he never got lost."
Ruan Fu was not surprised to hear such words. Seeing this, Tsing Yi pursed her lips, "Miss, do you have any doubts?"
Ruan Fu pursed his lips and said, "The Huadu today is more complicated than I imagined, Tsing Yi, what can you see today?"
"Miss is talking about Xu Zichang?" Tsing Yi frowned.
Ruan Fu smiled without saying a word. After Tsing Yi thought about it, Fang said, "Xu Zichang is also a person who hides a lot." Tsing Yi still remembered that she was on the stairs when she returned to Nanhua and entered the Caihuan Pavilion for the first time. The drunk person I saw, he was holding himself back with his drunkenness, but she pushed him away. It stands to reason that with that kind of strength, Xu Zichang, who was drunk, should be unable to avoid it, but at that time, he just Turning around and leaning sideways on the railing of the stairs, at first glance it was just a coincidence, but if you think about it, it might not be a coincidence, but the flexibility of this person's skills, which is obviously no less than hers.
Tsing Yi's face darkened slightly, and then she remembered that Yan Jing's words had attracted the attention of everyone on the high stage today, and when she watched Chen Guo and Bei Yan flirting with each other, her eyes stayed on the group of dandies who were playing around beside the ring in the hunting ground.
Ruan Fu smiled inexplicably, "Xu Zichang, the son of Marquis Wenchang, I didn't expect that maybe their father and son are the most hidden characters in Huadu. Many people probably didn't pay attention to today's hunting competition. Although Xu Zichang led A bunch of dandies are playing around, pointing at one at a time, and revealing the next move of the Beiyan warrior. Although it is not true, the truth and falsehood in it seem to be completely random and purely destructive, but at the critical moment Some of the pointers still showed flaws."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Yu Wujue as if asking for proof. Yu Wujue is a martial arts practitioner. I'm afraid she understands the way of doing it the most. Today she deliberately didn't express her position. Yan was attracted there, who would remember the gang of dudes on the edge of the ring, but her purpose was to make herself notice this person, because there was still a suspicion in her heart that she didn't want to be so.
Seeing her looking over, Yu Wujue nodded, affirming Ruan Fu's statement.
Tsing Yi frowned and said, "Marquis Wenchang, how could it be..."
Ruan Fu sighed, "Although Marquis Wenchang was granted the title of marquis because of his kindness to Emperor Zhaolie back then, since he was a Marquis of Wen, when he appeared in front of people, he looked like a marquis who was not doing business properly. Traveling in the mountains and rivers, either tending flowers and plants in other courtyards outside the city, or refining elixir with those Taoist priests in Taoist temples, such a person, even if he is called Lord Marquis, has no real power, who can attract anyone's attention , Marquis Wenchang and the Meng family were originally in-laws. Marquis Wenchang's daughter married the eldest son of the Meng family. It was because Marquis Wenchang had no relationship with the court that the royal family did not object to this marriage. , Marquis Wenchang was taking Xu Zichang to gather medicine in a Taoist temple thousands of miles away, so he escaped the disaster. As for why the royal family didn't do anything to him after he came back, I'm afraid it was because Marquis Wenchang's behavior style for many years could no longer be used. Gathering the literati from South China made Huangfu Yu feel that there is no threat, and that there is no difference between such insignificant people alive and dead, so why would Huangfu Yu kill useless people and get a reputation for killing them all?"
Tsing Yi was furious, but still puzzled, "When did miss notice Xu Zichang?"
Ruan Fu's eyes were gloomy, "Great wisdom is like a fool. In the eyes of others, Wen Changhou is indeed not doing his job properly, but in my opinion, this is the strategy of Wenchang Hou's self-protection. If Wen Changhou really achieves nothing, how can he raise him?" As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family, Marquis Wenchang's mansion is used to low-key and pretense, but no matter how low-key and pretentious it is, it is impossible to cover up the deepest things. Do you know why the Marquis of Wenchang was able to treat the late Emperor Nanhua so well? For the grace of saving lives?"
Those are too long history, Tsing Yi naturally doesn't know, but Ruan Fu knows, to be precise, it is the people of the Meng family who know, "Back then, Emperor Zhaolie was assassinated in the Golden Palace, Marquis Wenchang had no martial arts, but Standing in front of Emperor Zhaolie with a lonely body, with the weak body of a literati, he insisted on forcing back the assassins, but he suffered three serious injuries, but he was always so persevering. Such a person, you say, may Will it be really mediocre?"
"Of course not. That's because the Marquis of Wenchang came to Xu Zichang's father's generation. Although he is not a Hou family, he is also a family of literati. The first emperor was already jealous, but he even named a Marquis of Wenchang in Xu's family. Wenchang Wenchang, it sounds very good, but in fact, I'm afraid the Xu family has already noticed what's going on."
"Since his wife gave birth to a son and died, Marquis Wenchang has become more self-willed and no longer cares about world affairs. He has become what he is now. However, it may be that he wants to take the opportunity to keep the Xu family away from the court, and disperse all the literati who are against Xu. From now on, although there is the name of Marquis of Wenchang in the world, there will be no real Marquis of Wenchang."
After talking for a long time, Ruan Fu finally just sighed softly, "Time is easy, veterans can grow old, but the strength of character is forever."
There was a moment of silence in the room, Tsing Yi said, "Miss, Wen Changhou..."
Ruan Fu rubbed his brows, "The daughter of Marquis Wenchang is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family. Do you think Marquis Wenchang is really all right after all these years? How cruel do you have to be to be indifferent to the death of your daughter and to be indifferent to the death of your old friend?" Death is indifferent, I'm afraid, the picture of Marquis Wenchang is not small."
"Tsing Yi sent people to pay close attention to the actions of Marquis Wen Chang and Xu Zichang."
Ruan Fu nodded, thinking of something, and said, "It seems that we need to find a way to make Zhao Jin pay close attention to the situation of the hunting ground for two days."
They didn't stay in Caihuan Pavilion for too long, in less than an hour, Yu Wujue left with Ruan Fu.
Tsing Yi had already gone to work, Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue were walking in the night, the late autumn night was much colder, she was wearing a thin cloak, and her eyes were a little tired.
Yu Wujue felt distressed for a while, and couldn't help saying that, he hugged him, pursed his lips, and led Ruan Fu back to the post house in the dark.
I saw that Ruan Fu's windows were between one and the other, and she had been placed on the ground by Yu Wujue.
She wanted to say something at first, but Yu Wujue just held her hand and passed some internal energy on her, gradually warming her body, Ruan Fu had no choice but to let him go.
Ruan Fu didn't know what he was still thinking about, his eyes were pensive, and his expression was still in a trance. Seeing this, Yu Wujue sighed softly, and bent down to hug Ruan Fu.
Ruan Fu just let out a soft cry, and when he realized it, he had already been put on the bed by Yu Wujue, "Wujue, you..."
Yu Wujue glanced at him indifferently, "I've been thinking about it all night, and I've been busy all day, but you are full of energy."
Ruan Fu choked when he heard the words, and coughed lightly, "It's okay."
Yu Wujue sighed, and sat beside Ruan Fu's bed. Ruan Fu sat on the bed with his knees bent. Yu Wujue reached out to remove the hairpin from her head, and Ruan Fu's black hair flowed out of her hand in an instant. Wu Jue didn't know what he thought of, with a smile on his lips.
Ruan Fu was a little puzzled by his expression, and in addition to being in the room in the dead of night, he couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?"
Yu Wujue's hand lingered in Ruan Fu's hair, he seemed to be combing with his fingers, gently combing along Ruan Fu's hair, his eyes melted into the warmth of the room, "Is this the usual dress up before?" ?”
Even if Ruan Fu didn't say anything, Yu Wujue would have guessed that she was not normally dressed like this, and he also saw the expressions of Huangfu Yu and Xu Yue, so how could he not understand Ruan Fu's intentions, but it was because he understood , I feel helpless.
Ruan Fu looked at him, "Are you unhappy?" She thought, she always ignored his feelings because she used herself as a temptation.
Yu Wujue sighed, let go of the hair wrapped around her fingertips, and caressed her cheek, "I can do whatever I want, as long as you don't feel unhappy because of it."
unhappy?It's not that she can't face the people in the past, but she suddenly felt a stagnation in her heart, her eyes drooped slightly, and after a long time, she raised her head again, and wanted to open her mouth to say something, but before she could speak, Yu Wujue had already squeezed her hand, and said softly, "Sleep, in two hours, I have to go to the hunting ground."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to support Ruan Fu to lie down. Ruan Fu wanted to speak, but all the words in his heart suddenly disappeared from his mouth.
Yu Wujue helped her tuck up the quilt, but seeing Ruan Fu staring at him non-stop, he continued to sit beside Ruan Fu's bed, smiling at him, "Can't sleep?"
Ruan Fu shook his head, thought for a while before saying, "I used to tell myself that I must take revenge, but now I am blocking myself."
Ruan Fu already suspected Marquis Wenchang, and Yu Wujue knew about it. She said tonight that she would pay close attention to Marquis Wenchang, especially the movements of the hunting grounds, and secretly sent a message to Zhao Jin. But it was blocking Wenchanghou.
There is no contradiction in her eyes, it seems that she is just telling a fact about herself.
Yu Wujue's lingering gaze reflected Ruan Fu's face, which seemed to be bleak, "Ruan Er, if you want to kill someone, I will be the knife in your hand."
This is not the first time he has said this, Ruan Fu suddenly didn't want to talk about unnecessary things, she just blinked her eyes.
Seeing this, Yu Wujue said, "Go to sleep."
After finishing speaking, he leaned over and kissed her between the brows with infinite pity, then got up and sat down with gentle eyes.
Ruan Fu still stared at Yu Wujue, obviously not intending to close his eyes.
Yu Wujue had never seen her persevere like this before, suddenly he gave a low laugh, and said softly, "If you're not sleepy, can I do something to help you sleep?"
Hearing this, Ruan Fu stared at Yu Wujue for a moment, then suddenly closed his eyes, turned over, and left someone behind in the quilt.
Yu Wujue couldn't help but shook his head, seeing her resolutely refusing to turn around, only tucked up the corners of the quilt caused by her turning over, turned off the lights, got up and left.
Wan Geng, fat or not?
(End of this chapter)
As soon as Yan Jing finished speaking, the envoys of the Kingdom of Chen stood up one after another, and looked at Yan Jing with anger on their faces, "It is the attitude of the Lord of Beiyan to insult me in the Imperial Study Room of the Kingdom of Chen with such words. Is it?"
The envoys from the Kingdom of Chen were naturally filled with righteous indignation, and the envoys from other countries did not expect Yan Jing to say such words in front of everyone. They all looked at Yan Jing with complicated expressions. In his eyes, out of consideration of the interests of the country, he naturally hoped to see these two great powers in the Central Plains pinching each other, so as to do a good job of benefiting the fisherman.
However, compared to the righteous indignation of the envoys behind him, Ruan Fu looked calm and calm, not blushing and angry, drinking tea slowly, only Yu Wujue raised his eyes to Yan Jing when Yan Jing said this, his eyes widened. There was a touch of icy color in it.
Yan Jing saw the atmosphere of Chen Guo being prepared, she squinted her eyes slightly, and there was a trace of laziness in her expression, "What are you all anxious about, I was just joking, Ruan Tongzhi has been walking outside for many years, never You can't afford such a joke, can you?"
Yan Jing looked at Ruan Fu leisurely, seeing her unmoved, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips. For so long, it seems that no one will ever be able to find out where Ruan Fu's emotional changes are.
"Are you kidding me? I'm afraid that the King of Beiyan doesn't know. Even though I, Ruan Tongzhi, travel abroad, I have contacts with people from all walks of life. However, whoever treats you with courtesy, or is in awe, such an unrefined joke as the King, I'm afraid even Ruan Tongzhi's most unpopular opponent will not be able to open it, this time, I will accompany the prince and Ruan Tongzhi to participate in this alliance of nations, and I have gained some experience." Li Xiudang said first.
Hearing this, Yan Jing's expression turned a little ugly.
Seeing this, Yan Linglong turned her eyes and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is very eloquent, but it's a bit of a fuss to elevate a temporary joke to a national ceremony like this.
"The Central Plains has always attached great importance to etiquette. What the princess said, could it be that Beiyan stayed in the northern Central Plains for too long and had too much contact with Anxia. After a hundred years, she has forgotten all the things of her ancestors. Open to the right?" Yu Wufan sarcastically said.
Ever since Yan Linglong targeted Tsing Yi from the very beginning, Yu Wufan didn't want to see Yan Linglong. In fact, he never wanted to see Yan Jing and Yan Linglong.
As soon as Yu Wufan said this, the envoys from various countries on the high platform looked at Yan Jing with subtle expressions, and had too much contact with An Xia. Could it be that Yan Jing and An Xia...
Even Huangfu Yu squinted at Yan Jing.
When Beiyan's envoys heard the words, they all stood up, and there was a momentary stalemate between the two sides. On this high platform, it seemed that there was a tendency to explode at any moment.
Yan Linglong heard the words, and said coldly, "Is King Ji taking the opportunity to humiliate Beiyan, or is he implying something to stir up discord among the nations?"
Yu Wufan smiled coldly, "This king is just reminding me, otherwise the princess may ask whether the words of the king of Beiyan are a joke or an opportunity to humiliate, or the lord of a country is speaking, but this king understands Why the Northern Yan King has been on the throne for many years, but still needs a princess to rule."
These words are not harmless, even when Yanjing heard it, her complexion became dark, and Yan Linglong's complexion changed even more. Since this year, the relationship between her and the emperor's brother has been harmonious on the surface, but in fact it is not so happy Yes, and Brother Huang already had the intention of suppressing her in secret, now Yu Wufan said this.
Yan Linglong smiled coldly, "Ruan Tongzhi, your country is so aggressive, is it just the etiquette of the Central Plains?"
Ruan Fu raised his eyes to look at Yan Linglong at this moment, seeing that anger had risen in her eyes, he turned his head and said with a smile, "My lords, you don't have to be so angry, Bei Yan is rude, but we still have to maintain our state of Chen. Otherwise, wouldn't it look similar?"
The envoy of Chen Kingdom behind her seemed to have just realized it, "Ruan Tongzhi is right, I will be taught."
Ruan Fu turned back to look at Yan Linglong with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Princess, don't be angry, they are all upright and upright people, and they just care about Ruan Fu. If Bei Yan and the princess don't want to cause unfriendliness among the nations, some It’s better to keep jokes as little as possible, after all, Beiyan may be used to this kind of atmosphere, but the rest of us in the Central Plains always abide by etiquette.”
Hearing this, Yan Linglong's eyes grew even more angry, but seeing Ruan Fuying's smile, she finally just sat down with a brush of her sleeves and said no more.
The envoys from various countries on the high platform were silent when they saw Bei Yan and Chen Guo, each had their own thoughts, Yan Jing's face darkened, and the atmosphere on the high platform seemed to have fallen into a certain frozen atmosphere, but Ruan Fu didn't seem to be aware of it. After the movement just now, the fat man in her arms had woken up. At this moment, she was lying on Ruan Fu's shoulder, looking lazily at the envoys from various countries on the high platform. The nimble eyes looked innocent, but they felt unapproachable.
Ruan Fu had a faint smile on his lips, and turned his head to look at Pangpang, but his eyes were gentle and full of warmth, there was no such thing as Yan Linglong who was so speechless.
Yu Wujue glanced at Ruan Fu, a smile flickered from the corner of his eyes, and shook his head slightly.
And when everyone watched this weird scene, the gentle but absolutely lethal woman and a soft and cute fox couldn't be combined with Meng Changqing in their eyes.
Huangfu squinted at Ruan Fu, she was so calm and wise, calm and breezy, as if no matter what happened, she couldn't destroy her, he pursed his lips, and suddenly smiled, "Okay, okay, after you speak How can there be no verbal friction between us, today's focus is on the competition in the ring."
As soon as Huangfu Yu spoke, everyone raised their glasses one after another, "Emperor Nanhua is right."
Yan Jing didn't say anything, just stretched out her hand to pick up the wine glass at hand, but the wine glass just got into her hand, for some reason, the delicate glass burst suddenly, Yan Jing didn't have time to react, when she realized something strange, the wine glass was already shattered It was in his hand, and he couldn't dodge it in time, not only was the wine splashed all over his body, but blood was also overflowing from the palm of his hand.
Everyone originally raised their glasses of wine as a gesture to relieve the embarrassment at this moment, but this surprising and unexpected scene happened before the wine was drunk, and all eyes turned to Yan Jing.
Yan Linglong exclaimed, "Brother Huang!"
The envoys behind Yanjing also stood up one after another, "Your Majesty!"
Yan Jing looked cold, ignored the scar on her palm, and looked at Yu Wujue with gloomy eyes, only Yu Wujue looked leisurely, holding a wine glass in her hand, drinking gracefully.
Everyone saw Yan Jing's expression, and immediately looked at Yu Wujue, but they were more surprised that Yu Wujue was able to break the wine glass in Yan Jing's hand with internal force without anyone noticing it. , and the distance between him and Yan Jing is at least two feet away. So, what level of his skill has reached?
Yu Wujue remained unmoved, and turned his eyes to Yan Jing who had been looking at him, still so gentle and handsome, with a leisurely posture and incomparable dignity, "It's better to let the imperial doctor see the king's wound."
Huangfu Yu also frowned at this time and said, "Take the monarch to the apse to change clothes, and bring the imperial doctor over."
Only then did Yan Jing shake her sleeves and leave with a cold face.
Yu Wujue didn't realize it, and there was still a faint smile on his lips. Seeing this, Ruan Fu bent his lips and turned to look at Yu Wujue, just as Yu Wujue's eyes turned around , only the corners of the lips still have something to say.
What a small belly, Ruan Fu secretly said in his heart.
On the other side, Wu's envoy, King Zhong turned his head slightly to look at General You Guang, signaling with his eyes.
You Guang frowned and shook his head.
King Zhong wanted to ask him if he could detect when Yu Wujue made a move, but You Guang didn't notice it. You Guang is a general of Wu, and he is known as the number one expert in Wu. It's beyond the reach of ordinary people, but if even he can't perceive Yu Wujue's skill, it can only show that Yu Wujue's skill is definitely not a level higher than his, and he has to be shocked immediately.
At least his martial arts have been taught by experts, and more importantly, he was born in the common people. Before he became a general of the Wu Kingdom, he devoted himself to martial arts, but Yu Wujue is a royal grandson, a member of the royal family. In order to protect himself and strengthen his body, how did Yu Wujue do it...
You Guang thought silently in his heart that if he could compete with Yu Wujue, it would definitely be of great benefit to his martial arts cultivation.
Yan Jing left temporarily, the competition on the high platform was still going on, everyone's eyes were gradually attracted by the competition on the high platform again.
On the other side, in the back hall of the high platform, Xu Yue couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said, "Ruan Fu!"
Mammy was startled, "Ma'am."
This reminder finally pulled back Xu Yue's mind, left the high platform, and stayed away from Ruan Fu. The depression caused by the illusion of Meng Ruan's return gradually disappeared from her body, and Xu Yue gradually recovered her calm. , Hearing Mammy's reminder, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she had recovered her nobility and grace as the Queen of Nanhua.
She looked up at Mammy, "Does Mammy think they look alike?"
The nanny has been taking care of Xu Yue since she was a child. After Xu Yue entered the palace, she also became the palace maid with the most power in Qifeng Palace. Since she was a child, she has seen everything about Xu Yue. Naturally, Know who Xu Yue is referring to at this moment.
Nanny is obviously much calmer than Xu Yue, and she has always been able to speak up when she is beside Xu Yue, and she also said, "The old slave said something offensive, the reason why the mother is so disturbed today is probably because It's a demon that arises."
Xu Yue frowned, pursed her lips and remained silent.
Seeing that she didn't become angry from embarrassment, the mother said, "I dare not say how much I know about that person, and I don't know what is going on with Tongzhi in the Imperial Study Room of Chen Kingdom. It's just that the person died in the fire, so the empress knows." Yes, even if that person is still alive and escaped by chance, at this moment, twenty years have already passed, but Ruan Fu is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, which is obvious."
Xu Yue said in a deep voice, "This is not what I asked."
The nanny bowed her head and said, "If you talk about the style of conduct, I'm afraid any woman in power will be like this. If not, how can you gain a foothold in a court full of men with a woman's body? What's more, the empress knows that man very well. , how can you not understand that the man who is so proud that he has to take His Majesty's words to heart is extremely hot, it was the midday sun, but this Ruan Tongzhi is calm and gentle..."
At the end, the nanny shook her head, "The only similarity is probably that this Ruan Tongzhi, like that person, is so capable of governing the country, with great means and foresight."
Xu Yue sighed after hearing this for a long time, "Actually, why can't I not see that there are thousands of differences between them, it's just..."
Xu Yue paused, and when she spoke again, her tone became a bit gloomy, "She came here in that outfit today, even though they are so different, I absolutely don't believe that there is no connection between the two of them!"
When the nanny heard this, she looked at Xu Yue in surprise, Xu Yue's eyes were gloomy, "I just have a feeling, Meng Ruan, I'm coming back!"
Mammy was startled. At this time, another palace maid came to report, "Your Majesty, the prime minister is asking Mr. Xu to see you."
Only then did Xu Yue come to his senses, "Father and elder brother are here, please come in quickly."
Xu Huaiwen and Xu Yuan'an entered the apse where Xu Yue was, "I see the Empress."
Sitting on the seat, Xu Yue saw his father and elder brother saluting to him, and said, "Father and elder brother don't need to salute like this, now, we are the only ones in this apse."
Xu Huaiwen stood up, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abandoned."
Xu Yue frowned, "I want to see my father well, don't I want my father to kneel and worship?"
Xu Huai pursed his lips after hearing the words for a long time before opening his mouth and saying, "Yue'er, you are in a bad mood now."
Xu Yue also knew that she was in a bad mood, so she just waved her hands, "You all go down, I have something to say to my father."
"Yes, madam..."
After the palace servants retreated, Xu Huaiwen and Xu Yuan'an sat down at the bottom of Xu Yue, frowning, and looked at Xu Yue.
Xu Yue rubbed her forehead, "Father, Ruan Fu..."
Xu Huaiwen said in a deep voice, "You have stayed in the palace for many years, but now you are just a Ruan Fu, can you lose your composure?"
Xu Yue was a little aggrieved, "Father, you told me how to be calm, you can see that Ruan Fu was never similar to Meng Ruan back then, even if his appearance changed, his person changed, everything changed, but , Her skills, her style and ability to handle political affairs, are never similar to Meng Ruan back then, why don't you tell your daughter not to be irritable."
"That's just similar, Meng Ruan is dead." Xu Huaiwen said coldly.
"Dead!" Xu Yue snorted coldly, "So what if she died, Meng Ruan is dead, but she has become a shadow in His Majesty's heart, which cannot be erased and cannot be taken away by anyone. His Majesty couldn't stand it back then. Meng Ruan, but once Meng Ruan died, he became the cinnabar in His Majesty's heart. No one can erase it. I am by His Majesty's side. I don't understand what His Majesty is thinking? In the past few years, Your Majesty has not expressed anything, and even heard Meng Ruan. He would be angry, but if he really didn't care, how could he be angry? His Majesty has been keeping a distance from that abandoned palace in recent years, but as soon as Ruan Fu appeared in Nanhua, His Majesty went to that abandoned palace, I went to see Queen Zhaorui!"
As soon as Xu Yue's words came out, Xu Huaiwen was shocked, "Yue'er..."
Xu Yue only had a wry smile in her heart, "Father, if Yue'er was just a little girl who was infatuated with His Majesty back then, how could she not understand His Majesty's temper when she entered the palace these years? Doesn't Father think that His Majesty has become more tolerant of what happened back then?" Well, my father still remembers what happened to Mr. Hu last year, if it wasn't for my father's secret pressure, I'm afraid His Majesty is just a thunderous anger and no wind and rain."
Xu Huaiwen's face darkened slightly, he pursed his lips and remained silent.
Xu Yue sighed, with a regretful tone, and glanced at her stomach, "After so many years, Yue'er's stomach has not moved, and the imperial doctor has always said that Yue'er's body has not been recuperated, but father? Didn't you ever doubt it?"
Xu Huaiwen suddenly raised his head to look at Xu Yue, a thought flashed in his mind, he grasped the handle of the chair tightly, his eyes shattered, "Your Majesty!"
Xu Yue smiled wryly, "How could Yue'er not understand Yue'er's body? Your Majesty, I'm just afraid that there will be another Meng family from back then."
Xu Huaiwen's fingertips pinching the handle of the chair turned white, the muscles at the corners of his lips were trembling with anger, his eyes were dark as if he was dizzy.
Xu Yuanan sat next to him, noticed Xu Huaiwen's expression, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Uncle, calm down!"
Xu Yue stood up quickly when she heard the words, and walked over, "Father!"
Although Xu Huaiwen was angry, he didn't lose his mind because of it. He just closed his eyes, and it took him a while to recover. After recovering, he taunted and said, "The bird is as good as the bow. Your Majesty, you have done us a disservice to our Xu family!"
Xu Yuanan also sighed, "Your Majesty's attitude has become more and more obvious in the past two years. Uncle must have been alerted, but His Majesty has never made any obvious actions."
Xu Huaiwen suddenly said, "The first day the Chen Kingdom envoy entered the palace was His Majesty's action."
At that time Xu Yuan'an hadn't come back yet, so he didn't know what was going on, but when he came back, he heard about Huangfu Yu's demotion to Cao Fang. Arrogant, when I think about it at this time, I just feel that I am afraid that there is a deep sacred meaning in it.
Pursing his lips, Xu Yuan'an said, "This time, His Majesty asked me to discuss the alliance with South Korea, but South Korea refused. When I returned to the court, His Majesty's attitude..."
"Is Your Majesty suspicious of you?" Xu Huaiwen asked coldly.
Xu Yuanan nodded.
Xu Huaiwen snorted coldly.
Seeing that Xu Yuan'an had recovered, Xu Yue said, "Father, I know that Ruan Fu is not Meng Ruan, but my daughter's feeling tells her that the two must be related."
"Yue'er, you!" Xu Huaiwen was a little dissatisfied, "Even if they are related, His Majesty can't do anything to a courtier from another country. Ruan Fu can't threaten you. Since His Majesty is already so unkind, we promise The family will never sit still, you just wait, your position as the lord of the palace will never change."
"Father, how can you be so confused!" Xu Yue said anxiously.
Xu Huai's complexion was not good when he heard this, but because Xu Yue was the queen, he only had a gloomy face.
Xu Yue was not reconciled, and said, "Father, have you forgotten what happened to the Meng family back then? Ruan Fu will not threaten my position in the middle palace, but she will threaten our Xu family in court or even The position in His Majesty's heart, now His Majesty has deliberately alienated our Xu family, if Ruan Fu is really related to Meng Ruan, what is the thing she wants to do most when she returns to Nanhua? It is the case of the Meng family back then, the Xu family Trying to figure out the holy will to let His Majesty push the boat smoothly, can my father believe that with her ability that is definitely not inferior to Meng Ruan, she will definitely be able to reverse the case? At that time, if His Majesty really intends to push the boat smoothly, we promise The family is the scapegoat!"
When Xu Huaiwen heard this, he raised his eyes to look at Xu Yue, shocked by Xu Yue's perception.
Xu Yue laughed mockingly, "My daughter doesn't know about court affairs, nor does she know the twists and turns between countries, but she understands women and Meng Ruan even more. Regardless of whether Ruan Fu has anything to do with Meng Ruan, if my daughter Looking at Ruan Fu from Meng Ruan's eyes, many things can never go wrong, and they can also prevent problems before they happen."
Xu Yuan'an was listening, already sweating from shock, his voice was a little dry and authentic, "Uncle, Empress, you are the one who is farsighted."
Xu Huaiwen was silent, Xu Yue had already made a decisive decision, "Father, Ruan Fu, I'm afraid I can't stay."
"Your Majesty, assassinating an envoy is a felony."
Xu Yue snorted coldly, "Ruan Fu can have thousands of ways to die, why don't we kill her and make a big show?"
"Ruan Fu's status in the Kingdom of Chen is very important. It is said that the emperor of the Kingdom of Chen treats her like his own daughter, and the relationship between her and the King of Jin may not be that simple. Ruan Fu's death in Nanhua will definitely cause troubles between the two countries. strife."
"Then if she didn't die at the hands of the South China people, wouldn't the Alliance of Nations be an excellent opportunity?"
Xu Yuan'an stared at Xu Yue blankly, not knowing for a moment when Xu Yue had such a plan.
Only Xu Huaiwen didn't know what he thought of, and a coldness appeared on the corner of his lips.
----
Today's competition didn't end until the evening, because of the friction between Chen Guo and Bei Yan, the weird atmosphere lasted until the end.
Later, Xu Yue came back after resting enough, but when she came back, she was a little different from before, and she could even look at Ruan Fu, Ruan Fu raised her eyebrows slightly after seeing her for the first time.
It seems that after being in the palace for many years, Xu Yue is not the Xu Yue she was back then.
It's just... She took a sip of tea silently, covering the coldness on her lips.
It's just the first day of the competition, although it's not particularly exciting, but Beiyan already has the meaning of making a difference with the eighteen warriors.
The warriors of Xihu had an accident in Nanhua, so the hunting competition was naturally at a disadvantage. The fourth prince of Xihu had a gloomy face throughout the competition, and the envoys from other countries probably had a little understanding of their own situation. However, the brows are also a little dignified.
Even so, when everyone left the hunting ground, they still exchanged pleasantries with each other. The two-month alliance between the various countries is just the beginning. There is no rush, the future will be long, it is better to take it slowly.
When Ruan Fu followed the Chen Kingdom's envoy and left the hunting ground meeting post, there were still a crowd of people around outside the hunting ground, frolicking and making noise very lively.
"It's getting dark, Zichang still not going back?"
"Why are you so anxious that you shouldn't go back because it's getting dark?" The man who responded had a hint of laziness and frivolity in his voice.
The people gathered at one side laughed meaningfully when they heard the words, "Haha, Zichang really deserves to be a frequent visitor of Caihuan Pavilion."
"Okay, Miss Xueyao is still waiting for my master, today is the time for Miss Xueyao to play music, and my master can't wait."
"Look at Zichang's anxious look, Miss Xueyao doesn't necessarily care about you, if you like that Miss Xueyao, spend money to redeem her and let her go to your Marquis House, when can you not listen to the community. "
Hearing this, the man had already stepped on it, and couldn't help but kicked the person who was talking, "Get out, Miss Xueyao, you can buy it with money and put it in the backyard!"
"Hahaha, just kidding, just kidding." The man was not angry after being kicked, and still laughed.
Xu Zichang, who had already mounted the horse, still had a ruffian smile on his face when he heard the words. He glanced at the person who was off the horse, stopped talking, and left on the horse.
Many playboys who had gathered together also dispersed one after another.
Ruan Fu's eyes just glanced over the group of people. The man who left on horseback was dressed in an expensive purple robe. When he was in a romantic mood, his figure had already disappeared around the corner.
Ruan Fu got into the carriage, without further words, the team of Chen Guo envoys also left slowly.
Yan Jing looked at the direction in which the Chen Kingdom's envoys were leaving, with deep eyes. The Chen Kingdom's envoys left the hunting ground and headed all the way to the posthouse. Ruan Fu was sitting in the carriage, thinking about today's hunting ground competition, his eyes widened. There are some contemplative colors in it.
The carriage slowly drove to the downtown area. At a certain place, the bustle outside had slowly entered the carriage. When the envoy returned to the post house, the people on the street dispersed one after another. The sound also came into the carriage, Ruan Fu gently opened the corner of the curtain, looked out of the window, and what caught his eyes was the Caihuan Pavilion with red walls, fat pink, almost sloppy, but the overall feeling But it does not make people feel vulgar, on the contrary, there is an indescribable sense of coordination and seduction. In late autumn, it gets dark early, and at this time the Caihuan Pavilion has already been lit up, and the sound of sensual dogs and horses has been faintly heard inside. .
Ruan Fu just took a look, then put down the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage continued to move forward, as if the bustle in front of him could not melt into the eyes and ears of the envoys of Kingdom Chen.
In the middle of the night, the entire posthouse was heavily guarded, and there was silence. It was the fourth watch, when people were sleeping soundly, but in the posthouse of Kingdom Chen, two figures quietly left the heavily guarded posthouse.
Caihuan Pavilion, a wing room on the third floor, is elegantly furnished. Tonight is the day when Xueyao comes out to play. After she finished playing, she chatted with the guests who came to listen to her play about some things about the rhythm. It didn't end until midnight.
But her makeup is exquisite, and there is no trace of fatigue on her face. She has just walked to the door of her room, and the two maids who brought her back are about to push away. Xueyao's eyes move slightly, her personal maid has already She opened the mouth and said, "Miss Xueyao has been tired all night. It is good that I take care of the girl here. You go to the kitchen and warm the white fungus, pear and lotus seed soup for the girl. The girl has talked all night, and she will use it later before she can fall asleep."
The maid's hand that pushed the door paused, "Yes."
Having said that, he backed away respectfully.
Only then did Xueyao push open the door and enter the room. The originally dark room became brighter when she opened the door. It was supposed to be a deserted and quiet room, but now there were three people sitting there.
Seeing this person, Xueyao was excited and moved, "Miss, master..."
Ruan Fu smiled slightly, "Xueyao, you have worked hard during this time."
Xueyao restrained her urge to go forward, and when she saw the person sitting next to Ruan Fu, she took a step back, "Xueyao has met His Royal Highness King Jin."
Yu Wujue nodded lightly and only hummed lightly.
Ruan Fu didn't think there was anything wrong, seeing this, Tsing Yi said, "Sit down first."
Xueyao just sat down, Ruan Fu smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but Xueyao's skill has improved." At least when she was outside the door, she had already sensed that there was someone in the room.
Xueyao smiled embarrassedly when she heard the words, "In the past two years, Xueyao has learned some internal skills, but has not achieved anything."
"It's always good to have some kung fu." Ruan Fu shook his head slightly.
"Xueyao knows that Master has been to Caihuan Pavilion twice, but she has never seen Miss."
Ruan Fu smiled and said, "I'm a bit busy these days, and even though I'm in Nanhua, Beiyan is watching closely." So, even if she has something to go out, she still needs to think carefully.
The appearance of Ruan Fu was naturally not just a whim of consciousness to come and see Caihuan Pavilion.
Xueyao said, "I don't know what Miss Xueyao needs to do?"
Ruan Fu smiled, "Xueyao, I heard that the young master of Wenchang Hou's family is a frequent visitor to Caihuan Pavilion."
Ruan Fu would not talk about Xu Zichang for no reason. Xueyao pursed her lips and said, "Xu Zichang is very popular in Nanhua, and he is famous for his fireworks. I'm afraid no one can match him."
"Oh?" Ruan Fu raised his eyebrows, Xueyao knew that Ruan Fu definitely didn't want to hear this, so he said immediately, "However, in Xueyao's opinion, this person is definitely not as obsessed with fireworks as he appears on the surface , Xueyao has been in Caihuan Pavilion for a long time, so she naturally knows what kind of people are really fascinated by fireworks. It was three or five days, but no one knew that when he was staying at the Caihuan Pavilion, he would not touch the prostitute girls in the Caihuan Pavilion. He likes to listen to Xueyao playing, although he often speaks frivolously and behaves frivolously, But Xueyao could tell that Xu Zichang's eyes were clear, even when he was flirting with women, he never got lost."
Ruan Fu was not surprised to hear such words. Seeing this, Tsing Yi pursed her lips, "Miss, do you have any doubts?"
Ruan Fu pursed his lips and said, "The Huadu today is more complicated than I imagined, Tsing Yi, what can you see today?"
"Miss is talking about Xu Zichang?" Tsing Yi frowned.
Ruan Fu smiled without saying a word. After Tsing Yi thought about it, Fang said, "Xu Zichang is also a person who hides a lot." Tsing Yi still remembered that she was on the stairs when she returned to Nanhua and entered the Caihuan Pavilion for the first time. The drunk person I saw, he was holding himself back with his drunkenness, but she pushed him away. It stands to reason that with that kind of strength, Xu Zichang, who was drunk, should be unable to avoid it, but at that time, he just Turning around and leaning sideways on the railing of the stairs, at first glance it was just a coincidence, but if you think about it, it might not be a coincidence, but the flexibility of this person's skills, which is obviously no less than hers.
Tsing Yi's face darkened slightly, and then she remembered that Yan Jing's words had attracted the attention of everyone on the high stage today, and when she watched Chen Guo and Bei Yan flirting with each other, her eyes stayed on the group of dandies who were playing around beside the ring in the hunting ground.
Ruan Fu smiled inexplicably, "Xu Zichang, the son of Marquis Wenchang, I didn't expect that maybe their father and son are the most hidden characters in Huadu. Many people probably didn't pay attention to today's hunting competition. Although Xu Zichang led A bunch of dandies are playing around, pointing at one at a time, and revealing the next move of the Beiyan warrior. Although it is not true, the truth and falsehood in it seem to be completely random and purely destructive, but at the critical moment Some of the pointers still showed flaws."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Yu Wujue as if asking for proof. Yu Wujue is a martial arts practitioner. I'm afraid she understands the way of doing it the most. Today she deliberately didn't express her position. Yan was attracted there, who would remember the gang of dudes on the edge of the ring, but her purpose was to make herself notice this person, because there was still a suspicion in her heart that she didn't want to be so.
Seeing her looking over, Yu Wujue nodded, affirming Ruan Fu's statement.
Tsing Yi frowned and said, "Marquis Wenchang, how could it be..."
Ruan Fu sighed, "Although Marquis Wenchang was granted the title of marquis because of his kindness to Emperor Zhaolie back then, since he was a Marquis of Wen, when he appeared in front of people, he looked like a marquis who was not doing business properly. Traveling in the mountains and rivers, either tending flowers and plants in other courtyards outside the city, or refining elixir with those Taoist priests in Taoist temples, such a person, even if he is called Lord Marquis, has no real power, who can attract anyone's attention , Marquis Wenchang and the Meng family were originally in-laws. Marquis Wenchang's daughter married the eldest son of the Meng family. It was because Marquis Wenchang had no relationship with the court that the royal family did not object to this marriage. , Marquis Wenchang was taking Xu Zichang to gather medicine in a Taoist temple thousands of miles away, so he escaped the disaster. As for why the royal family didn't do anything to him after he came back, I'm afraid it was because Marquis Wenchang's behavior style for many years could no longer be used. Gathering the literati from South China made Huangfu Yu feel that there is no threat, and that there is no difference between such insignificant people alive and dead, so why would Huangfu Yu kill useless people and get a reputation for killing them all?"
Tsing Yi was furious, but still puzzled, "When did miss notice Xu Zichang?"
Ruan Fu's eyes were gloomy, "Great wisdom is like a fool. In the eyes of others, Wen Changhou is indeed not doing his job properly, but in my opinion, this is the strategy of Wenchang Hou's self-protection. If Wen Changhou really achieves nothing, how can he raise him?" As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family, Marquis Wenchang's mansion is used to low-key and pretense, but no matter how low-key and pretentious it is, it is impossible to cover up the deepest things. Do you know why the Marquis of Wenchang was able to treat the late Emperor Nanhua so well? For the grace of saving lives?"
Those are too long history, Tsing Yi naturally doesn't know, but Ruan Fu knows, to be precise, it is the people of the Meng family who know, "Back then, Emperor Zhaolie was assassinated in the Golden Palace, Marquis Wenchang had no martial arts, but Standing in front of Emperor Zhaolie with a lonely body, with the weak body of a literati, he insisted on forcing back the assassins, but he suffered three serious injuries, but he was always so persevering. Such a person, you say, may Will it be really mediocre?"
"Of course not. That's because the Marquis of Wenchang came to Xu Zichang's father's generation. Although he is not a Hou family, he is also a family of literati. The first emperor was already jealous, but he even named a Marquis of Wenchang in Xu's family. Wenchang Wenchang, it sounds very good, but in fact, I'm afraid the Xu family has already noticed what's going on."
"Since his wife gave birth to a son and died, Marquis Wenchang has become more self-willed and no longer cares about world affairs. He has become what he is now. However, it may be that he wants to take the opportunity to keep the Xu family away from the court, and disperse all the literati who are against Xu. From now on, although there is the name of Marquis of Wenchang in the world, there will be no real Marquis of Wenchang."
After talking for a long time, Ruan Fu finally just sighed softly, "Time is easy, veterans can grow old, but the strength of character is forever."
There was a moment of silence in the room, Tsing Yi said, "Miss, Wen Changhou..."
Ruan Fu rubbed his brows, "The daughter of Marquis Wenchang is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family. Do you think Marquis Wenchang is really all right after all these years? How cruel do you have to be to be indifferent to the death of your daughter and to be indifferent to the death of your old friend?" Death is indifferent, I'm afraid, the picture of Marquis Wenchang is not small."
"Tsing Yi sent people to pay close attention to the actions of Marquis Wen Chang and Xu Zichang."
Ruan Fu nodded, thinking of something, and said, "It seems that we need to find a way to make Zhao Jin pay close attention to the situation of the hunting ground for two days."
They didn't stay in Caihuan Pavilion for too long, in less than an hour, Yu Wujue left with Ruan Fu.
Tsing Yi had already gone to work, Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue were walking in the night, the late autumn night was much colder, she was wearing a thin cloak, and her eyes were a little tired.
Yu Wujue felt distressed for a while, and couldn't help saying that, he hugged him, pursed his lips, and led Ruan Fu back to the post house in the dark.
I saw that Ruan Fu's windows were between one and the other, and she had been placed on the ground by Yu Wujue.
She wanted to say something at first, but Yu Wujue just held her hand and passed some internal energy on her, gradually warming her body, Ruan Fu had no choice but to let him go.
Ruan Fu didn't know what he was still thinking about, his eyes were pensive, and his expression was still in a trance. Seeing this, Yu Wujue sighed softly, and bent down to hug Ruan Fu.
Ruan Fu just let out a soft cry, and when he realized it, he had already been put on the bed by Yu Wujue, "Wujue, you..."
Yu Wujue glanced at him indifferently, "I've been thinking about it all night, and I've been busy all day, but you are full of energy."
Ruan Fu choked when he heard the words, and coughed lightly, "It's okay."
Yu Wujue sighed, and sat beside Ruan Fu's bed. Ruan Fu sat on the bed with his knees bent. Yu Wujue reached out to remove the hairpin from her head, and Ruan Fu's black hair flowed out of her hand in an instant. Wu Jue didn't know what he thought of, with a smile on his lips.
Ruan Fu was a little puzzled by his expression, and in addition to being in the room in the dead of night, he couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?"
Yu Wujue's hand lingered in Ruan Fu's hair, he seemed to be combing with his fingers, gently combing along Ruan Fu's hair, his eyes melted into the warmth of the room, "Is this the usual dress up before?" ?”
Even if Ruan Fu didn't say anything, Yu Wujue would have guessed that she was not normally dressed like this, and he also saw the expressions of Huangfu Yu and Xu Yue, so how could he not understand Ruan Fu's intentions, but it was because he understood , I feel helpless.
Ruan Fu looked at him, "Are you unhappy?" She thought, she always ignored his feelings because she used herself as a temptation.
Yu Wujue sighed, let go of the hair wrapped around her fingertips, and caressed her cheek, "I can do whatever I want, as long as you don't feel unhappy because of it."
unhappy?It's not that she can't face the people in the past, but she suddenly felt a stagnation in her heart, her eyes drooped slightly, and after a long time, she raised her head again, and wanted to open her mouth to say something, but before she could speak, Yu Wujue had already squeezed her hand, and said softly, "Sleep, in two hours, I have to go to the hunting ground."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to support Ruan Fu to lie down. Ruan Fu wanted to speak, but all the words in his heart suddenly disappeared from his mouth.
Yu Wujue helped her tuck up the quilt, but seeing Ruan Fu staring at him non-stop, he continued to sit beside Ruan Fu's bed, smiling at him, "Can't sleep?"
Ruan Fu shook his head, thought for a while before saying, "I used to tell myself that I must take revenge, but now I am blocking myself."
Ruan Fu already suspected Marquis Wenchang, and Yu Wujue knew about it. She said tonight that she would pay close attention to Marquis Wenchang, especially the movements of the hunting grounds, and secretly sent a message to Zhao Jin. But it was blocking Wenchanghou.
There is no contradiction in her eyes, it seems that she is just telling a fact about herself.
Yu Wujue's lingering gaze reflected Ruan Fu's face, which seemed to be bleak, "Ruan Er, if you want to kill someone, I will be the knife in your hand."
This is not the first time he has said this, Ruan Fu suddenly didn't want to talk about unnecessary things, she just blinked her eyes.
Seeing this, Yu Wujue said, "Go to sleep."
After finishing speaking, he leaned over and kissed her between the brows with infinite pity, then got up and sat down with gentle eyes.
Ruan Fu still stared at Yu Wujue, obviously not intending to close his eyes.
Yu Wujue had never seen her persevere like this before, suddenly he gave a low laugh, and said softly, "If you're not sleepy, can I do something to help you sleep?"
Hearing this, Ruan Fu stared at Yu Wujue for a moment, then suddenly closed his eyes, turned over, and left someone behind in the quilt.
Yu Wujue couldn't help but shook his head, seeing her resolutely refusing to turn around, only tucked up the corners of the quilt caused by her turning over, turned off the lights, got up and left.
Wan Geng, fat or not?
