Chapter Forty-Eight: Plum Blossoms

"Back to Your Majesty, she is the minister's wife, Yan Yu, from Yan Kingdom. Lin Mo knew that Emperor Daqian had called him over, not just to ask about Xiao Shuya's condition, but to ask Ming Yan Baiyu's true identity was the key.

"Ziyong, your wife?" Emperor Daqian was taken aback, and glanced at Yan Baiyu after his disguise: "The one who can be worthy of being Ziyong's eldest lady is really like the fairy of Tianshan Mountain." ”

Yan Baiyu is now the original appearance, but it is also a very delicate face, although this face is not as beautiful as Yan Baiyu's original beauty, but it can still be regarded as a peerless beauty.

"Your Majesty praised falsely, the queen mother is a fairy jade. "Politeness is necessary, but what Lin Mo said is not completely polite, and Yun Shan, the eldest grandson of Queen Daqian, is also cloudy and moon-looking.

Now Empress Daqian's body is almost better, her face is gradually ruddy, and her beautiful and moving appearance is gradually revealed.

In the Daqian Empire, Empress Daqian has always been regarded by the people as the second most beautiful woman in Daqian after Yan Baiyu, and she is even more beautiful than the eldest grandson and the daughters, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the sixth palace of the Yanguan.

If you think about it carefully, if your eldest grandson Yunshan is not a generation of exquisite beauties, then why does Emperor Daqian favor her eldest grandson Yunshan alone among the three thousand beauties in the inner palace?

Regarding Lin Mo's praise of Empress Daqian, Emperor Daqian did not have the slightest politeness, and after accepting the praise of Empress Daqian, Emperor Daqian went straight to the main topic of summoning Lin Mo and Yan Baiyu to come.

"From Yan State, and surnamed Yan, could it be that Ziyong's wife is a nobleman of Yan State?"

"Exactly. Yan Baiyu took over: "The concubine's father is the brother of the ancestor of Yan Guo, the youngest daughter of Yan Ming, who married Ziyong a few years ago and went to Moyun Mountain to take care of the affairs of the sect for Ziyong. ”

This is the rhetoric that Lin Mo and Yan Baiyu prepared before entering the palace, as for the purpose, it is naturally to deal with the inquiry of Emperor Daqian and conceal the identity of Yan Baiyu as the lord of Chu.

Emperor Daqian thought for a moment and said: "Yan Ming, well, I have heard of your father's name, it is rumored that he is a generation of fierce generals of Yan Kingdom, but unfortunately fell into the hands of the elite army of Beidi twenty years ago. ”

Twenty years ago, Yan Ming personally led all the elites of the Yan Kingdom, a total of 60,000 elite troops, and the 200,000 troops led by Beidi Marshal Amu Zhanqin fought on the front line of Yanshan.

After three months of bloody fighting, the other vassal states of Daqian did not come to support in time as agreed, and in the end, Yan Ming was isolated and helpless, and was beheaded by Amu Zhan himself and sent back to Yan State.

Since the Battle of Yanshan 20 years ago, after the 60,000 elite troops of Yan State were buried in Yanshan, Yan State's national strength has weakened sharply, and in less than three years, it has become the weakest country among the 27 major princely states of Daqian.

Emperor Daqian understands such a fierce general as Yan Ming, Yan Ming is the brother of Yan Lin, the former lord of Yan State, and there is indeed a daughter named Yan Yu under his knees, so Emperor Daqian let go of his worries about Yan Baiyu.

However, what Emperor Daqian didn't know was that the Yan Baiyu in front of him was not Yan Ming's daughter Yan Yu, and the real Yan Yu was mentioning Yan Baiyu to take care of domestic affairs after Yan Baiyu's careful transformation.

And Yan Baiyu's current appearance is also the appearance of Yan Ming's daughter Yan Yu, that is to say, Yan and the two daughters have now exchanged faces, and the only thing that happens is that Yan Baiyu's boudoir is also "Yan Yu".

The name of this boudoir was given by Lin Mo for Yan Baiyu, which means "beauty is like jade", so although Yan Baiyu knew that his cousin's name was also called Yanyu, he still accepted it gladly

Except for Lin Mo and his daughters Bai Zhilan who knew about this matter, only Yan Envoy Yuan Kuo knew about it, and no one else knew about the plan of Li Dai's golden cicada to get out of the shell.

"Thanks to His Majesty the Emperor's praise of Chrysostom, if his father knows under Jiuquan, he will definitely be happy, Yan Yu thanked His Majesty the Emperor for his father. As he spoke, Emperor Yan Baiyu gave a salute.

"Lord Yan, don't be so polite, you are my great loyalty, and I am very comforted. "Although Yan Ming is a person from Yan State, Yan State is one of the feudal states of Daqian, so it is not wrong for Emperor Daqian to say that Yan Ming is loyal and good.

"Your Majesty, please don't call Yu'er the county lord. Lin Mo spoke, and then explained: "Since the death of the minister's father-in-law, Yu'er has long since left the Yan royal family. ”

"I'm confused. "Regarding the separation of Yan Yu from the Yan royal family, Emperor Daqian also knows.

Yan Lin, the first lord of Yan Kingdom, has no children under his knees, only Yan Baiyu has an only daughter, but Yan Ming has a son under his knees, named Yan Zhou, according to the ancient system, Yan Baiyu is a woman who cannot inherit the position of the lord of Yan State.

It should be the only man in the Yan clan, Yan Zhou, but how could Yan Lin agree, and Yan Zhou's mother is also quite smart and knows the advance and retreat and the overall situation.

After Yan Ming died in battle, in order to protect the bloodline of his own branch, Yan Zhou's mother immediately led the people of this branch to declare that they would forever leave the ranks of the Yan royal family and become an idle rich and noble family.

After saying a word of self-reproach, Emperor Daqian immediately brought a kind smile and said: "But Yan Yu is really a blessing, he can't be the lord of Yan State, but he has become the wife of the sect master of Mozong and the mother of the Lin Mansion, this kind of honor is really much more noble than the position of the county lord of Yan Kingdom." ”

Seeing that Lin Mo had no connection with the Yan royal family, Emperor Daqian also relaxed a lot, if there was, Emperor Daqian was afraid that the real purpose of Lin Mo going down the mountain was to plot something for Yan Kingdom.

"It's all due to the fate of the concubine and her husband. Yan Baiyu replied respectfully: "If it weren't for the concubine who was fortunate enough to get acquainted with her husband, I'm afraid she would have been hidden in the market a long time ago." ”

"Fate is a wonderful thing. Perhaps remembering his wonderful fate with Empress Daqian, Emperor Daqian sighed with emotion, but immediately had doubts about one point.

Instead of hiding his doubts in his chest, Emperor Daqian immediately asked: "Ziyong, since your wife has no relationship with the Yan royal family, why did you still repel the Beidi army for the Yan Kingdom?

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Daqian immediately realized that he was about to lose his words, how could Lin Mo be regarded as repelling Beidi's army for Yan State, but for Daqian.

Regarding Emperor Daqian's quick speech, Lin Mo was very smart and did not mention it, but directly answered the second question: "Your Majesty, although the Yu'er branch is already in the Yan royal family, after all, the bones are the blood of the Yan Kingdom, and they live in the Yan Kingdom, and the minister's Moyun Mountain is also in the territory of the Yan Kingdom, if the Yan Kingdom is defeated, the minister's Moyun Mountain will also be implicated." ”

"Ziyong, is it just that simple?" For these two points, Emperor Daqian had already thought of it, but Emperor Daqian would never believe that it was so simple, there must be other reasons, otherwise Lin Mo was lying and deceiving himself.

"Of course not. Lin Mo continued: "The minister does not dare to deceive Your Majesty, the real reason is that the woman Yan Baiyu, the lord of the Chu State, captured Yu'er's family, and the minister had to help her and train the black-armored army for her. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo noticed that Yan Baiyu's jade hand was secretly pinching his waist, but now that Emperor Daqian was here, Lin Mo couldn't show the slightest abnormality when he was alive.

"It turns out that this is the case, it seems that Yan Baiyu that woman really has the means. Emperor Daqian said unhappily, but he let go of his suspicion of Lin Mo in his heart.

The reason that Lin Mo gave in the end was powerful, and he couldn't tolerate Emperor Daqian, just imagine, your wife's family is in the hands of others, how can there be a reason not to do things for her.

Seeing that Emperor Daqian was almost there, Lin Mo immediately struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, building a black-armored army for the woman Yan Baiyu is also a condition for her to marry Yu'er to her ministers." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was no longer doubt in the eyes of Emperor Daqian, since this was a condition for marrying Yanyu, Emperor Daqian believed that Lin Mo would definitely agree to marry a beautiful woman.

After explaining the doubts of Emperor Daqian, Emperor Daqian symbolically rewarded Yanyu with some flying money in the name of Yan Ming, and Lin Mo and Yan Baiyu left Emperor Daqian.

Lin Mo and Yan Baiyu left, and Emperor Daqian stood in the Dongnuan Pavilion and said to Gao Yue who entered the pavilion: "You say what Lin Mo said, can I believe him? I always feel that Lin Mo's purpose of going down the mountain is not just for me. ”

Gao Yue was stunned for a moment before he said respectfully: "If Your Majesty suspects Lord Shangqing, how about the old slave send a hidden guard to investigate for Your Majesty?"

Emperor Daqian looked at the gate of Dongnuan Pavilion in a daze, and after being silent for a while, he nodded, Gao Yue saw this, gave a salute again, and hurriedly walked out of Dongnuan Pavilion.

Looking at Gao Yue's departed old but still straight back, Emperor Daqian looked at the snow in the sky and said in a low voice: "Ziyong, Ziyong, don't let me down, I have put all the bets on you." ”

Under the escort of Xifeng and Qiu Yun, on the way out of the palace, walking into a winding corridor, Yan Baiyu suddenly spoke: "Husband, did you say that Emperor Daqian believed what you said?"

"Maybe I'm very convinced. Lin Mowan smiled and folded off two plum blossoms: "It is estimated that at this time, Emperor Daqian has asked Gao Yue to send hidden guards to Yan Kingdom to investigate you." ”

"Hidden guards, the group of secret agents that Emperor Daqian asked Gao Yue to train secretly, even if they go to Yan Kingdom, they can't find any clues under the careful arrangement of our night people, right?" Yan Baiyu smiled faintly, his eyes full of confidence.

In the Zhongzhou Continent, on a par with the powerful intelligence ability of the Night Sect of the Mo Sect, there are only the Dark Butterfly of the Moon Sect, which is also the peak of the three sects, and the Thunder Sect's Thunder Disciple.

Lin Mo felt that it was very normal for Emperor Daqian to have his own secret forces, otherwise, how could Emperor Daqian leave the imperial capital safely and bring himself back.

Lin Mo nodded: "Yes, Yan Yu and Yan Yu's family are all in the Yan King's Palace, which is like house arrest, even if the hidden guard goes to Yan Kingdom, he will not find any clues." ”

As he was talking, he saw a eunuch leading ten Le Ji holding various musical instruments to slowly approach, and when he saw Lin Mo wearing a crown robe, the eunuch hurriedly led the ten Le Ji to give a salute.

"See Lord Shangqing!"

"This father-in-law, where are you going? Who is so in such a good mood to summon Le Ji. Lin Mo nodded, but there was a hint of imperceptible displeasure in his eyes.

The eunuch didn't notice Lin Mo's displeasure, and still said with a smile on his face: "Back to Lord Shangqing's words, it's Concubine Niangniang, Niangniang said that she was in a good mood recently, so she summoned Le Ji to go." ”

"The lady lady is really interested. Lin Mo said quietly, and when his eyes touched the two Leji, who were holding the pipa and looking quite delicate, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.

He took a step forward, put the two plum blossoms that he had just broken off in his hand and put them in the buns of the two Le Ji, and without speaking, he led Yan Baiyu and left with the guards of Xifeng and Qiu Yun.

Sending Lin Mo away, the eunuch straightened up and looked at the plum blossoms on the two Le Ji's buns, first stunned for a moment, and then bowed down and congratulated: "Congratulations to the two girls, congratulations to the two girls, your good days are coming." ”

"Where did my father-in-law start with this? The maid is confused?" The Le Ji holding the pipa on the right looked puzzled, not knowing what the eunuch meant.

The Rakhime on the left, who was holding the pipa, also looked puzzled.

"It is said that Acacia has plum blossom hair overnight, and suddenly suspects that it is Jun in front of the window, the two girls are very happy, and Lord Shangqing has taken a fancy to you, so he will wear plum blossoms on your hair. The eunuch's face was filled with joy and flattery.

The two Le Ji holding the pipa looked at each other, their eyes first floated with joy, and then they were dazed, and the one holding the pipa on the left asked, "But we are just lowly Le Ji." ”

"But they're so beautiful and cute. The eunuch flattered and said, "You don't know yet, it is rumored that Lord Shangqing, but he is famous for his love of beauty, must have taken a fancy to you." ”

"You still don't know, I heard that Concubine Xiao De has been seriously ill recently and will die soon, and Lord Shangqing will have no sustenance, so I must have taken a fancy to you, and you two will go with me to meet Your Majesty, and I will let the two of you fly on the branches. ”

The two Le Ji who were holding the pipa were all happy, and the Le Ji on the right side: "Thank you, father-in-law, if the two of us really take a fancy to the sad Shangqing, I will not forget your great kindness." ”

"Great, wonderful. Seeing that the two of them knew so well what they had not yet spoken, the eunuch was in a good mood, and immediately led the two Le Ji who were holding the pipa away.

The rest of the Rakie stayed where they were, not knowing what to do, but they were all full of envy and jealousy for the Rakie who had followed the two fakes.

Envy and jealousy, those two will immediately fly up to the branches and become golden birds, enjoying the glory and wealth and the favor of Lord Shangqing, hating why not themselves.

Sitting in the carriage back to the Lin Mansion, Yan Baiyu saw Lin Mo quietly looking out the window and asked, "Husband, why did you show displeasure when you saw that team of Le Ji just now?"

"Naturally, it's for Shuya. Lin Mo retracted his gaze and replied, not the slightest surprise that Yan Baiyu could see his fleeting displeasure, after all, the two were a husband and wife.

"Now that Shu Ya is seriously ill, she is a virtuous concubine, and the inner palace should grieve for her, and pray for forbidden music, but that Concubine Zheng Shu actually called a team of Le Ji, which is feeling joyful. ”

Although Xiao Shuya's illness was fake, when he saw someone gloating over this, Lin Mo's heart was still unhappy, and he had another urge to beat Concubine Zheng Shu.

"Concubine Zheng Shu, Zheng Errong, who has an affair with Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan's guard Zhao E?" For Zheng Errong, Yan Baiyu had a faint impression of the information collected by the Night Person.

"It's her. Lin Mo nodded, his expression slightly angry.

was angry, Lin Mo suddenly felt that his waist was choked, Lin Mo screamed in pain, looked at the person who was smiling and pinching his waist, and exclaimed bitterly: "Baiyu, what are you doing, why are you pinching me again." ”

"Because you're diverting my attention, husband. Yan Baiyu's hand increased his strength: "It's fake that you feel angry about Sister Shu Ya, but you actually want to divert my attention." ”

"Husband, the concubine asked you, why did you just give the two Le Ji plum blossoms holding the pipa? and put it in their hair buns with your own hands, lovesick plum blossom hair all night, husband has taken a fancy to them?"

"Madam, Baiyu, lady, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Lin Mo changed his name to Yan Baiyu again and again, pretending to be in pain, begging for mercy one after another.

Xi Feng Qiu Yun, who was driving outside the car, looked at each other and smiled, and a sentence came to their hearts: In this world, those who dare to treat the sect master like this are afraid that only the master mother is the master.

"Misunderstanding, what misunderstanding? Yan Baiyu, who was pinching Lin Mo's waist, puffed out in Lin Mo's ear and said, "If the husband can't say it, don't blame the concubine for ordering you to stay alone in the empty room for three days?"

For this, Lin Mo didn't dare to have the slightest doubt, as long as Yan Baiyu said a word, no woman in the mansion, including the always naughty and rude Baili Allure, would not dare to let Lin Mo stay overnight, let alone other women.

"I said, I said. Lin Mo endured the pain in his waist and handed a note in his hand to Yan Baiyu: "Those two Le Ji are both dark butterflies of the Moon Sect, so my husband and I approached them." ”

Yan Baiyu was startled, opened the note and looked at it, and sure enough, as Lin Mo said, he saw that the note read: The second daughter of the pipa is actually the dark butterfly of the Yuezong. The note also bears the ink-colored circular mark of the Night's Eye.

With a light grip and burning the note to ashes, Yan Baiyu said strangely: "Husband, we have always been together, why did the Night One give this information to your husband? Could it be it?"

Knowing that Yan Baiyu had already guessed it, Lin Mo no longer played tricks, nodded and said: "It's that eunuch, he is the night master of my Mo Sect, and this information was also given to me by him." ”

Yan Baiyu was finally relieved, but a new suspicion immediately arose, and when he looked at Lin Mo with a smile on his face, he asked in a gentle tone: "Husband, are you really following them just because they are the dark butterflies of the Moon Sect?"

"Lady, don't have such a smile, look at your husband or not, I'm a little scared of my husband. Looking at the smile full of Yan Baiyu, Lin Mo only felt that the hairs on his back stood up, and he was inexplicably stunned.

But Yan Baiyu was still like this, Lin Mo couldn't stand it, so he had to pour out his mouth: "Okay, good, husband, I will recruit me, and I have another purpose in doing this, that is, to let Emperor Daqian hold one of my concerns again." ”

Now that Xiao Shuya is "seriously ill" and will die soon, in order to reassure Emperor Daqian, Lin Mo naturally wants Emperor Daqian to hold his new concerns, so it is just right to push out his two dark butterflies.

"More than that, right?" Yan Baiyu still looked at Lin Mo with a smile on his face, for this, Yan Baiyu was so smart, he had already thought of it, and Lin Mo would take a fancy to those two Le Ji, Yan Baiyu had every reason to believe that there were other reasons.

Yan Baiyu knows Lin Mo's mind and temperament too well, Lin Mo was still in the Yan Palace, and when he was not married to her, he had a good relationship with the palace ladies in the palace, and often teased those palace ladies with red faces.

The group of palace ladies looked at Lin Mo with spring water in their eyes, and they felt that they wanted to eat Lin Mo raw, but later, Yan Baiyu had no choice but to use Mei Xiang to confuse Lin Mo and set Lin Mo's husband and wife relationship.

After the relationship between husband and wife was settled, Lin Mo accepted his heart, and he was no longer so presumptuous, and he had a lot of rules, but it was inevitable after seeing the pretty maid verbally flirtatious.

Later, the two got married, and Tang Yunu's incident happened again, Lin Mo completely withdrew his hand, became honest, and no longer had any intimate words and actions with those palace laves.

Feeling Yan Baiyu's cold smile, Lin Mo touched the back of his head, hugged Yan Baiyu into his arms, and assured him very seriously: "Good lady, don't worry, I'll listen to the music, and I will never do anything to them." ”

"I'll just believe it. Yan Baiyu smiled, still hugged by Lin Mo, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Husband, you also have so many beautiful women around you now, when will you be a head! There are more than 10 million beautiful women in the world, do you have to accept them one by one?"

Lin Mo hugged Yan Baiyu's hand tightly, and said seriously: "Baiyu, no matter how many women your husband will have in the future, you will always be the first in your husband's heart, and you will be your husband's eternal wife." ”

How many women he will have, this Lin Mo himself doesn't know, but when something happens, turning that woman into his own woman is far more reliable than a friend, and only one heart and one heart is the best guarantee.

Friends, sometimes the most reliable, but also sometimes the most unreliable.
