Chapter 242: Provocation, Calm Response

"Why did the eldest brother say that?" Fu Rongyue held back the doubts in her heart, and her face was very calm.

For so long, in addition to Mei Xiangrong, Fu Qing was the second to see through Emperor Shou's thoughts, and he was also the first person to say it so clearly. Fu Rongyue was secretly shocked in her heart, in terms of resourcefulness, Fu Qing is naturally not as good as Fu Xingjian, let alone Wei Mingxi, but it is said that if he is wise and foolish, he is not really confused, his mind is like a mirror, and he can see it more thoroughly than many people who claim to be smart.

This is the second time, Fu Qing made Fu Rongyue feel impressed.

Fu Qing shook his head, calmed down, and said: "When I was still in the capital, I also heard about it, I know that Your Majesty loves His Royal Highness King Ling very much, and it would have been very suspicious to let King Ling come to the northwest alone, but Your Majesty also asked you to come, isn't this very obvious? Once King Ling really starts from the northwest, then, if you stay in the capital, it will become a burden to him, and Your Majesty means that His Royal Highness has no worries." ”

As he said these words, he paid close attention to Fu Rongyue's reaction, and seeing that she did not refute it, the more he spoke, the more confident he became: "Besides, I remember that the Hou Ye told me back then, saying that His Majesty is gradually growing up from the Northwest Army, and His Majesty's mind probably also hopes that his son can gain a foothold in the military, right?"

"Big brother, Master Hou underestimated you, everyone underestimated you. Fu Rongyue pursed her lips and smiled, and then said with a straight face: "Big brother, I just want to ask you, how much weight do Aunt Cheng and Rong Min have in your mind?"

"They are my only relatives and I have to protect them. Fu Qing said solemnly.

Fu Rongyue nodded: "In this case, eldest brother, please listen to my advice, the Great Wei storm has risen, and the eldest brother should make a decision as soon as possible." As a top priority, the eldest brother can not be anyone's henchman, but he must work hard to make himself appear very weighty. His Royal Highness will give the eldest brother a chance, but he will not force the eldest brother, he only hopes that the eldest brother can keep his heart. ”

After a pause, Fu Rongyue remembered something, and added: "Big brother, don't worry about me, you have too much burden, do you understand?"

"I understand. Fu Qing's every word was loud: "Rong Yue, I have a sense of proportion." ”

The words have been said to this point, there is no need to break it again, the two looked at each other and smiled, and never talked about these things again, only said that they missed each other since they separated.

This reminiscence lasted until the twilight of the day, Fu Rongyue asked Lan Xin to wake up Luluo and the others, and Fu Qing also took the opportunity to leave and prepare for the dinner.

Because it was a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, according to etiquette, Fu Rongyue should attend in full costume, but there were enough shelves in the morning, and these men in the army did not care about this, Fu Rongyue thought about it, and only wore a light palace dress, and asked the green pothos to help comb a well-fitting bun, paint makeup, and make a homely dress. It's just that she has an outstanding appearance, and the more she dresses up, the more she looks like a beautiful jade, which makes people can't take their eyes off.

The new girls in the courtyard were also dumbfounded, staring at Fu Rongyue one by one.

Some people even whispered to each other: "I originally thought that Yuan was already very beautiful, but I didn't expect the princess to be such a stunning beauty." ”

"Yuan Qingdai, she can't do it, she is a fox, where can she compare to the princess dignified and elegant?"

"Yes, if I were Your Highness, I wouldn't want her. ”

"Let her dream......"

These words all fell on Fu Rongyue's ears, she didn't say anything, even if she skipped it with a faint smile, she told Mei Shan and the others to rest and decorate the mansion, and then took the green pothos to the hall where the dinner was held.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I already heard the crowd in the hall, and it was lively for a while.

The sergeant informed the princess that she had arrived, and it was suddenly quiet inside, Fu Rongyue was led into the hall by the soldiers, and at a glance saw Wei Mingxi sitting on the main seat, Nangong Yue and Ning Ping'an sitting on his left, and several generals on his right. Seeing her come in, Wei Mingxi was originally sitting on a chair, but then sat up straight, smiling and waiting for her to walk in.

Qi brushed her eyes on Fu Rongyue, she was a little more charming than usual at night, and she became more and more beautiful and dazzling.

Every step she took, everyone's eyes moved an inch with her, and they watched her walk to Wei Mingxi and sit down, and reluctantly took it back.

Nangong Yue was alone, and he glanced at her from beginning to end, and quickly lowered his head and did not speak.

After Fu Rongyue sat down, Wei Mingxi asked with a smile: "I went to see you in the afternoon, and the maid said that you are resting, but you are still tired?"

"Have you been here, why don't I know?" Fu Rongyue was stared at by so many people, and she was a little uncomfortable, trying to distract herself and calm her mind.

Wei Mingxi said: "I didn't let the maid tell you, so naturally you don't know." You've seen all the stewards in the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, haven't you?"

"I've seen it. This is a good opportunity to ask questions, Fu Rongyue naturally asked: "Several stewards are relatively calm, only that steward Yuan looks young, like a girl who has not left the cabinet." ”

"She, just leave it alone. The expression on Wei Mingxi's face didn't change, "She still has some use, keep it." ”

"What do you say?" Fu Rongyue wondered.

Wei Mingxi smiled and picked up the wine glass: "I'll talk to you later." Everyone, ......" He was sitting precariously, interrupting Fu Rongyue's words, holding a cup to face his subordinates, and said loudly: "Today, the princess came to the capital to protect the mansion by holy order, I am very happy, and you are willing to welcome the princess with this king. Today, we don't talk about military affairs, we don't care about political affairs, everyone has a good time, have fun, and don't get drunk and don't go home!"

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

"Your Highness!"

Most of the men in the army have good wine, but because of the military order, they can't drink it often, not to mention that the wine used at today's banquet was brought by Wei Mingxi at the beginning, most of them are imperial wine, and the mud is opened, and there is a burst of wine aroma in the nose, and the gluttonous worms in the stomachs of these people are already rolling, and they can't help but be overjoyed when they hear the words, and for a while, the hall is boiling.

Fu Rongyue sat on the top and just laughed, raised her glass from time to time to say a few words to everyone, and slowly relaxed.

Wei Mingxi kept giving her vegetables, and soon, there was a full plate in the small plate in front of her, which made the green pothos who followed behind her couldn't help laughing.

Fu Rongyue dissuaded her a few times, but Wei Mingxi didn't listen at all, and reluctantly followed him.

However, Wei Mingxi obviously put a lot of thought into this dinner, now the military budget is tight, and the dishes are not luxurious, but they are all very exquisite, and most of them are still Fu Rongyue's favorites. She couldn't help but be moved, although she had only eaten at the same table with Wei Mingxi a few times, it was hard for him to have a heart, and she actually remembered what she liked to eat.

Just thinking about it, Fu Rongyue suddenly felt an indescribable gaze fall on her.

The gaze was cold, as if it was carrying a sharp sword, and it almost made her smart.

Out of instinct, she immediately raised her head to search for the source of this gaze, but unexpectedly met the eye waves of Nangong Yue. She was stunned, how could it be him?

Nangong Yue obviously didn't expect her to look at it, her expression was embarrassed for a moment, and then she smiled faintly, raised her wine glass and toasted Fu Rongyue with a glass of wine, without saying anything, after toasting, she turned her head sideways and said something to Ning Ping'an beside her, Ning Ping'an's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise and resentment, and then picked up the wine jug and refilled it for him.

Fu Rongyue was full of doubts, and when she saw this, she could only turn her head and pretend that she didn't know anything just now.

At this moment, Wei Mingxi's hand reached out from under the table and gently held hers. His palm was dry and warm, with a magical power, Fu Rongyue's heart suddenly settled down, she was really not afraid, she hurriedly raised her head and gave Wei Mingxi a soft smile back.

Wei Mingxi held her hand a little tighter, and was reluctant to let go for a moment.

The amount of wine of these strong men in the army is really very good, they really drank hard, and soon let go, after three rounds of drinking, they only heard a room of commotion, and a strong general shouted at the top of his voice: "Lord, it is said that the princess is a famous talented woman in the capital, and she is proficient in poetry and songs, but her subordinates have lived in the northwest for a long time and have not had a chance to see her, which is really a pity......

The room suddenly fell silent, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Fu Rongyue in unison, which meant something indescribable.

Everyone has heard about Fu Rongyue's life experience, and knows that she grew up in the countryside and is an out-and-out country girl, even if she knows a few words, where is a talented girl, how can she be compared with those young ladies in the capital who are full of poetry and books? When she was in the Zhongsu Marquis Mansion, she did not have any reputation for talent.

Besides, no matter how Fu Rongyue came from and how she learned, now that she is the princess, how can she perform in public at will for fun?

Everyone shook their heads, and looked at the strong man with some disapproval.

However, our colleagues have been in the army for many years, and their affection is extraordinary, and they do not agree or disagree, but they still have to find ways to maintain it.

"Hey, General Chen, Hugh is talking nonsense!" A white-faced general next to him stopped him, tugged General Chen's arm, and then turned his head and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, General Chen is drunk, please forgive me for the offense." ”

Wei Mingxi never liked others to ridicule Fu Rongyue, so he naturally didn't have a good face about it, so he snorted and didn't answer.

Fu Rongyue observed the words, and saw Nangong Yue'an sitting on the side and did not speak, although the white-faced general stopped General Chen, but while talking, his eyes were staring at him, obviously, this was a temptation.

She thought about it for a while, and immediately said with a smile: "This general is serious, General Chen is quick to speak, even if the news is a little untrue, it does not lose the frankness of a hot-blooded man." She paused slightly and blinked mischievously: "There are several princesses in the capital who are talented women, Princess Cai of Qi, Princess Mu of Chu, by the way, especially the concubine Fu of King Zhao, Fu is my eldest sister...... Looking at the general's heroic appearance, I am afraid that listening to the military situation on weekdays is much shorter than listening to the parents, is it a confusion?"

As soon as the words ended, laughter erupted in the room, and an embarrassment disappeared invisibly.
