Cousin?

Zhu Ziqi glanced at this Teng Shasha, his brows furrowed, obviously he didn't recognize her, I don't know which uncle's daughter this cousin is?

Concubine Teng knew that her son didn't know Teng Shasha, after all, the concubine had always been not taken seriously, if it weren't for Yuanyuan's unbearable cultivation, she wouldn't let Shasha take her place lightly, and stretched out her hand and pointed to the girl kneeling on the ground, "Period, this is Shasha, your uncle's second daughter, your cousin." ”

Zhu Ziqi heard his mother's flat but slightly expectant voice, he couldn't help but squint at his mother slightly, and casually motioned Teng Shasha to get up, just when this cousin was about to say something, he suddenly turned his head to the cousin who was not familiar with him and said: "You go out first, I have something to say to my mother, you are not appropriate here." ”

Hearing this, Teng Shasha bit her lower lip, obviously she was an outsider between mother and son, and this feeling of being rejected was not good.

"Shasha, you go out first, I have something to say to your cousin." Concubine Teng comforted her niece gently.

"Yes, Auntie." Teng Shasha's face softened at this time, and she curtsied and bowed.

As soon as she arrived outside the curtain, a mouthful of silver teeth clenched, and she glanced at the curtain with a sharp gaze, one day, she wanted to make that man unable to expel her so lightly. Feeling the big girl's gaze, she cleaned up her frustration, smiled gently at the big girl, and stepped forward and said, "Sister Grape, I'll go out first, if my aunt calls me, I'll bother my sister to pass it on." ”

Grape, as the chief maid of Concubine Teng, has always been angry with Teng Yuanyuan, and now seeing these two cousins so gentle and easy to speak, this heart has long been biased, "Don't worry, cousin." ”

"Thank you, sister." Teng Shasha took off the jade bracelet in her hand and put it on the other party, "This is my heart, sister and accept it." ”

Grape immediately pushed back, "Cousin, what do you mean by that?" Slaves can't accept ......"

"Sister Grape, don't be so polite, I will use my sister a lot of places in the future, and I hope my sister will give me advice when the time comes." Teng Shasha hurriedly put the jade bracelet on the other party, and did not let the other party have a chance to refuse.

Grape accepted it with a reluctant look, and said knowingly: "Thank you, cousin." ”

Teng Shasha smiled and befriended the other party, and then took the opportunity to go outside to avoid suspicion.

The mother and son in the house looked at each other for a long time, and Concubine Teng was defeated first, "Son, my mother knows what you mean, but this concubine can't help it, it doesn't matter if you don't like Yuanyuan, get along with Shasha well, you will find that Shasha is a good girl, and your mother can still pit you......"

"Mother, I don't like this." Zhu Ziqi didn't plan to fight guerrilla warfare with his mother, and expressed his dissatisfaction straight to the point, "Mother, you don't care about these things, if this cousin called Sasha really wins your heart, you can find another good family for her, instead of pushing me." ”

The son's refusal made Concubine Teng quite unhappy, "I really don't understand for my mother, what are you thinking?" Miss Ye is good, but it doesn't mean that other girls are bad? This man's three wives and four concubines are too ordinary, why are you dissatisfied with the arrangement of your mother? ”

"Mother, my son has made it clear, I just don't want you to be a person inside and outside my uncle's place in the future, so you won't be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma, it's all for the good of my mother." Zhu Ziqi patiently persuaded his mother, "My son is also here to make a good relationship with my mother, I just like Miss Ye, there are so many good girls in this world, but I will take this scoop." I don't expect my mother to understand, I just hope that my mother won't drag her back and send this yarn back as soon as possible, so that she won't stay in the palace for a long time and have unrealistic illusions. ”

Hearing her son's remarks about taking this scoop of drink, Concubine Teng almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and at this time she was also quite dissatisfied with Ye Manjun, and said with a displeased face: "I really don't understand what medicine the Ye family's concubine gave you to take?" Asking you to say such a foolish and irresponsible thing? Do you see what man in this world lives by only one woman? Why did I give birth to such a foolish son as you, are you going to be angry with me before you are willing to ......"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, her face flushed, and her body was even more shaky.

Zhu Ziqi hugged his mother, and when he saw that his mother was unwell, he had to restrain the unspoken words in his stomach, help his mother lie down, and take the medicine and feed his mother spoonful by spoonful.

Concubine Teng saw her son's filial appearance, and the blockage in her heart went a little, "Son, don't be so stubborn, mother, this is all for your good, the position of the king of Ruyang is not easy to sit, just look at your father." Isn't it good to pick a cute one that won't make trouble for you? As long as Shasha can get along well with Miss Ye, this is your luck, then Miss Ye will go and say......"

"Mother!" Zhu Ziqi finally finished feeding a bowl of medicine, and when he heard his mother's words, the dissatisfaction came up again, but he saw that his mother was displeased, so as not to stimulate his mother again, he said: "Mother, this matter has its own debate, you can recuperate with peace of mind, as for Miss Ye, don't bother her, it is not easy for her to marry a weak woman to Ruyang City, and she didn't say anything from beginning to end, a qiē is a child's opinion, if you want to blame your son." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for his mother's reply, got up and planned to leave.

Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, how stubborn her son is, Concubine Teng knows better than anyone else, seeing that he looks like she has made up her mind, she had no choice but to say: "It's not up to the mother, forget it, you can go, as for the yarn, don't drive her away, my mother has been congested recently, let her stay in the house and talk to me." ”

Hearing his mother's soft words, Zhu Ziqi didn't say anything cruel to stimulate his mother, just nodded lightly, and then picked up the curtain and went out.

Walking to the corridor outside, he saw Teng Shasha standing under the corridor as if looking at the scenery, he coughed lightly, Teng Shasha realized that he had come out, and hurriedly turned around and saluted, "Cousin." ”

"Accompany my mother to relieve boredom, and I will find you a good family when I go back, and then add makeup for you to make you marry."

Hearing these words, which were 108,000 miles away from his imagination, Teng Shasha's heart was very uncomfortable, but his face was not obvious, and he nodded obediently, "Thank you, cousin." ”

Zhu Ziqi said everything he wanted to say, and seeing that this cousin was not like the stubborn stone, he nodded slightly, "Go in." ”

Teng Shasha looked obedient and bowed her head slightly, and then gently lifted the curtain and went in.

Zhu Ziqi watched this cousin disappear into his eyes, and then turned around and went back to his yard.

In the house, Concubine Teng lightly shook Teng Shasha's hand, "Shasha, I care more about your cousin on weekdays, this building near the water has the moon first, do you understand?" ”

Teng Shasha frowned and shook her head slightly, "Auntie, cousin, he ...... It seems that she has no intention of shasha, although she is a concubine, but she is also a shameful person, how can she entangle her cousin? This...... I'm afraid it won't work......"

Retreat.

Concubine Teng patted her hand slightly angrily, "Why are you so confused?" His words are all nonsense, can you listen to them? I know you are thin-skinned, but women chase men through heavy yarns, as long as you are aggressive, why can't you succeed? ”

"Auntie?"

"This matter is up to my aunt, I will repair the book for your father today, and you will live in the palace with peace of mind, with your aunt here, why don't you have a chance?"

Teng Shasha looked reluctant to obey Concubine Teng's arrangement, from beginning to end, she didn't show that she would not marry in the Zhu Zi period, this cousin is not easy to approach, but with this aunt here, she really can't do it if she doesn't believe it? In a place where Concubine Teng couldn't see, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

Since then, Teng Shasha often sends food to Zhu Ziqi on the orders of Concubine Teng, and sometimes brings a sentence, in short, this Teng Shasha appears in front of Zhu Ziqi more and more times, so many that there are rumors.

"Sister, what do you think?"

Ye Xurong was grinding ink for his sister, and asked angrily, that Teng yarn has now become Zhu Ziqi's new love, is it difficult for his sister to sit still?

Ye Manjun was painting the orchid grass, only to see her gently pull up her cuffs, her expression was focused, and she didn't seem to listen to her brother's words, which provoked Ye Xurong to immediately pull out the orchid grass she had just drawn a few strokes, "Sister, I'll tell you something serious, can you give me a word?" ”

Ye Manjun put down the brush lightly and asked with a smile: "Brother Rong, I really can't see that you are still so gossipy, this character that listens to the wind is rain has to be changed, besides, what kind of reaction do you want me to give you?" ”

"Sister, don't be so calm, okay? People are now close to the water, who knows if Zhu Ziqi has flower intestines? ”

Ye Xurong's face was anxious, he was not against taking a concubine, but now it was his sister's marriage, so it was another matter, in short, he was a person with double standards.

"I'm not a roundworm in his belly, can I know what he's thinking? But I believe in his character, Brother Rong, don't ask about these things if you have nothing to do. ”

Ye Manjun reopened a piece of white rice paper, intending to redraw it from the beginning.

Ye Xurong looked at his sister with an incredulous expression, and casually picked up the rice paper that his sister had laid out, "Sister, haven't you heard that men can trust sows to go up trees?" You can't do this, what is the use of people, if you don't use suspicious people, you can't apply it to men, I advise you to ask Zhu Ziqi clearly, does he have two hearts? ”

Ye Manjun sighed and looked at Ye Xurong, sat down and took a sip of the tea served by the water curtain, "Brother Rong, don't mix this matter, I know it in my heart." ”

"Sister, I'm worried that you will suffer, if you don't get married yet, you will take a concubine, what kind of system will you become?" Ye Xurong sat down beside his sister and persuaded again.

"Brother Rong, if you really have any questions, just ask Second Master Zhu, don't pester me, okay?" Ye Manjun kicked the ball back to his brother.

"Sister, this is what you said, I'll go to him and ask him for clarification." Ye Xurong immediately threw the two pieces of rice paper back to his sister, and couldn't wait to leave. He wanted to ask for a long time, but he was afraid that the eldest sister would be unhappy afterwards and say that he was reckless, so he finally got the permission of the eldest sister for a long time, why don't you hurry up and find out?

Ye Manjun shook his head and smiled, put down the teacup, and handed the two pieces of rice paper that could no longer be used to the water curtain to dispose of.

"Girl really isn't worried?" The bead curtain put away the four treasures of the study, and couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, girl, even the slave maid has heard about it, this Teng family girl is Zhu Erye's cousin, and it is not without her cousin's cousin that her cousin's family is not without ......" Shui Curtain also expressed his opinion worriedly.

Ye Manjun is not worried, but in addition to worrying, as she said to Ye Xurong, she still believes in the person of Zhu Ziqi, "If there is really something before, will it wait until now?" Don't go out and spread these words, just hear it, you know? ”

"Yes, girl."

The bead curtain and the water curtain hurriedly curtsied their knees, and seeing the girl's confident appearance, both of them knew that they should not say much, so they both humorously stopped mentioning these things.

Ye Manjun didn't care about these rumors, but the circle of nobles in Ruyang City exploded, and after Ye Manjun, everyone wanted to tear this Teng yarn, especially Teng Yuanyuan's hatred was the deepest.

Teng Yuanyuan met Teng Shasha in the Ruyang Palace, and immediately stepped forward to slap her ear scraper and scolded: "Slut." ”

Five fingerprints immediately appeared on Teng Shasha's face, and she covered her face and said in surprise: "Yuanyuan, what are you doing?" ”

"Slut, do you still have the face to ask? What shady things have you done with your cousin? You tell me clearly......" While saying, Teng Yuanyuan also pulled Teng Shasha's hair and slapped her twice.

"Ahh......h

The maids on the side were dumbfounded, this Teng family's daughter is too strong, right?

"Stop—"

When Zhu Ziqi, who was passing by, saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward with a straight face, pulled Teng Shasha out of Teng Yuanyuan's hand, and glanced at the arrogant Teng Yuanyuan sternly.

"I want to go back to your mansion, this is the Ruyang Palace."

Teng Yuanyuan retreated step by step sadly because she was reprimanded, especially when she saw Teng Shasha, who was hiding behind her cousin, showing a provocative and victorious smile towards her, she couldn't help but point her finger at the hypocritical sister-in-law, "Cousin, are you scolding me for this slut?" She's just trying to sympathize with you, cousin, don't fall for her, she's just a showman......"

"Enough, I'm not blind, I can see what you're doing clearly." Zhu Ziqi said coldly, and pointed in the direction of the door of the mansion, "You go back to the mansion for me, Teng Yuanyuan, no one in this mansion can let you spoil it at will." ”

"Cousin, you're driving me away again?" Teng Yuanyuan asked with tears in her eyes.

Zhu Ziqi was unmoved, and gave an angry order to the little guy behind him, and suddenly someone appeared and pulled Teng Yuanyuan away.

Seeing her sister-in-law's defeat, Teng Shasha's heart was really refreshing, but her face was not visible at all, and when she came out from behind this cousin, she bent her knees and said pitifully: "Thank you, cousin, for speaking up......"

"Cousin, you are a smart person, don't play such a bitter scene in the future, as long as that person is not blind and blind, can he not see the clues? You deliberately let Teng Yuanyuan beat you when you saw me coming this way, right? ”

Zhu Ziqi's face was cold, piercing Teng Shasha's camouflage even colder.

Teng Shasha lightly covered her chest, "Cousin, it's not like this......"

"Cousin, it's not a smart person's way to argue again, and you've worked hard during this time, but some things must be done in moderation, otherwise don't blame me, a cousin, for being ruthless, Sasha."

This was the first time that Teng Shasha heard her name in his mouth, but she didn't have time to be happy, but this voice made her feel like an ice vault.

"What's wrong with yarn?" She no longer showed weakness, but asked straight to the point.

"There's nothing wrong with you, it's just that I don't like you, cousin, there are thousands of men in this world, don't put your thoughts wrong on me, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about cousins in the future."

Zhu Ziqi ruthlessly broke this cousin's thoughts.

Teng Shasha's face was pale, and the five-finger palm print was still obvious, "Shasha understood." ”

"It's good that my cousin can understand, and I will ask my mother to resign in two days, and stop deliberately dangling in front of me to create rumors." Zhu Ziqi immediately sent her away.

Teng Shasha nodded slightly, and was helped up by the maid and turned to leave.

Zhu Ziqi looked at it with his hands behind his back for a long time, and then said not far behind him: "Are you satisfied with watching it for so long?" ”

Ye Xurong came out of the shadows, of course, he had a smile on his face, and stepped forward to say: "Second Master Zhu is aware of everything, and he is convinced, and he will definitely bring this matter back to share with the eldest sister." ”

Zhu Ziqi heard him mention Ye Manjun, and there was a slight smile on his face, it seems that the little woman's concentration is still a little worse, no matter what, she can spend her mind for him, this is something that cannot be desired, "This is just a trivial matter, it is just a rumor spread by someone with a heart, Miss Ye is a wise man, and she will not believe these words lightly." ”

Ye Xurong was slightly surprised, this Zhu Ziqi actually knew his sister so well, and it took a long time before he recognized: "Second Master Zhu, the younger brother can be regarded as recognizing you as a future brother-in-law." ”

Zhu Ziqi said with a smile: "Then dare to be kind, when your brother arrives in Ruyang City, you will have to melt your brother into a foolish brother and say a few more good words." ”

At least let Ye Xuyao, the brother-in-law, have more good feelings for him.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Ye Xurong also smiled.

Within two days, Teng Shasha made a farewell, and Concubine Teng didn't force her to stay this time, but just said that it was a good thing to be cold first, and personally ordered someone to prepare a carriage to send the niece away.

Teng Shasha, who was sitting in the carriage, had a stern face, and she gently lifted the curtain on the window of the carriage to look at the gate of the gorgeous Ruyang Palace, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"Is the girl really so willing?" The maid on the side who knew her heart well.

"What if you are unwilling? He's chased me like this, and if I wasn't ashamed, I really wouldn't have a chance. Teng Shasha put down the curtain of the car and responded coldly, "If I enter this Ruyang Palace, my aunt will have a good life, and my father and grandmother will look down on her, and I can't lose for my aunt." ”

She clenched her fists.

The maid on the side sighed, everyone has a difficult scripture behind them, and their own girls are no exception, and it is even more difficult for them to strive for the top.

The news of Teng Shasha's departure, Ye Manjun received it on the same day, and she had good deeds to sue her for such a thing.

Ma Lanshi smiled: "Miss Ye can rest assured now, right?" I didn't expect Second Master Zhu to be able to do this for Miss Ye, this is not easy. ”

Ye Manjun smiled slightly, her heart was sweeter than eating sugar, but the education she had received since childhood, she did not show her ecstatic side, "There is nothing to worry about, what kind of person is Second Master Zhu, I know in my heart." ”

Ma Lanshi thought about it, looking at Ye Manjun's sweet appearance, she was also in a good mood, "I heard that Sister-in-law Ling also came with Brother Ling this time?" ”

"Mrs. Ma, don't worry, I am not a person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, and I will definitely say a few good words for Mrs. Ma in front of my brother and sister-in-law."

"Thank you, Miss Ye."

Ma Lanshi was quite satisfied, and she was also very curious about the Xiangyang Hou Lady, I don't know what kind of woman she is? I heard that she is younger than this Ye girl's age, and I don't know what the use of Ye Hou Ye bringing her here? Aren't you afraid that this little lady has a hard journey?

But she couldn't ask these words, so she could only knock them on the side.

Ye Manjun has never been an open-mouthed person, she knows better than anyone else what to say and what not to say, so Ma Lan's knowledge is limited.

In the end, the Malan clan could only return in disgrace.

Zhu Ziqi also came to visit Ye Manjun in person, stepped into this jade skin workshop, and saw that his fiancée was instructing the shopkeeper to do things, and he circled his hands and watched it.

It was still the water curtain that reminded Ye Manjun that he had just discovered the arrival of his sweetheart, so he threw down the trivial matters and approached Zhu Ziqi gracefully, "Why didn't you say a word when you came?" Are you going to scare me to death? ”

"Look you're busy, don't bother." A happy smile bloomed on Zhu Ziqi's indifferent face.

Ye Manjun smiled and personally led him to the inner room to speak.

"I thought you were too busy to come and see me......"

"Are you annoyed with me, then?"

Zhu Ziqi interrupted her and raised her eyebrows to ask her.

Ye Manjun was slightly stunned, "Am I such an unreasonable person?" ”

"Nothing else to ask me?" Zhu Ziqi asked deliberately.

This time it was Ye Manjun's turn to raise his eyebrows, "Strange, what do I have to ask you?" ”

Zhu Ziqi looked at her demeanor and movements, and immediately smiled again, and reached out to hold her hand, "It's good to have your trust." ”

Ye Manjun shook his hand back, "Then you don't have to bear me in the future, otherwise I won't be able to spare you......"

"Yes, lady."

"Who's your lady? Not ashamed? ”

“……”

The two were playing with spears, and their relationship naturally went further, but at this time, someone said outside: "Second master, the prince sent someone to find him, so that the second master can return to the house." ”

When Ye Manjun heard this, he frowned slightly, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not a big deal, I'll go home first, and I'll come to see you when I'm free." Zhu Ziqi looked at her affectionately and said.

Ye Manjun nodded and personally sent Zhu Ziqi away, but at this moment she felt her eyebrows jumping wildly, and when she saw Zhu Ziqi getting on the horse and waving at her, she also waved her handkerchief at him with a forced smile.

It wasn't until the man disappeared that she turned around and went back to the store.

It was only after sitting for a while that she felt upset, so she didn't take care of the business in the store anymore, but got in the carriage and went back first, she always felt that something big was going to happen, and I hope she thought about it too much.

Zhu Ziqi entered the palace and threw the horsewhip to the little servant to deal with, and then hurried to see his father.

"Dad, are you looking for me?"

Zhu Yi glanced at his son's hurried expression, and immediately nodded, sitting in the circle chair, he looked up at the cronies and staff on the side, "Tell him about our new discoveries." ”

When Zhu Ziqi saw his father's stern expression, he immediately knew that something was wrong, and his eyes immediately looked at the staff.

The staff didn't talk nonsense, "Second Master, the army of the imperial court was found on the border of our Ruyang City. ”

A corner of the city.

The Nine Princes stood on the roof and looked into the distance, their hands behind their backs gently tapping each other.

"Lord Wang, this time we will reveal the strength of the emperor's secret deployment to the King of Ruyang, and see if he can still be indifferent? This trick is so wonderful, the people we have placed in the palace can be regarded as useful in sending such timely news. ”

The staff couldn't stop their excited expressions, but the Nine Princes were expressionless.

"Did the person who led the troops find out who it was this time?"

"If you go back to the prince, it's Huo Yuan." The subordinate on the side immediately replied.

Huo Yuan?

The Ninth Prince turned his head slightly, "If this king is not mistaken, is he the descendant of the Huo family who was cut off?" ”

"It's him." The subordinate answered again.

The Ninth Prince chuckled lightly this time, "I didn't expect it to be that Huo Yuan, his family was cut down because of today, it's very good, to secretly contact this Huo Yuan, if it can be used by this king, it would be better." ”

"Yes, lord." It was the staff who responded.

The Nine Princes had always been worried about Zhong Zhong, but this news made him very excited.

Ruyang Palace.

Zhu Chen appeared in front of Zhu Yi's study in a very good manner, only to see her haggard face, and said outside: "Lord, the saint did not receive any news before the concubine, is this the concubine's, if the concubine knows in advance, she will definitely inform the prince......"

Zhu Yi in the house listened to his wife's words of repentance outside, but this news was originally leaked to him by Zhu Chen, and it can be said that Zhu Chen has made a contribution this time.

"Please come in, Princess."

As soon as the door "babbled", Zhu Chen was helped in by the maid, and as soon as he entered, he knelt in front of Zhu Yi, "Lord Wang......"

"Princess, get up." Zhu Yi personally motioned to the maid to help his wife up.

Only then did Zhu Chen sit in the chair supported by the maid, "What does the Holy Lord want to do?" The concubine didn't know anything, and the concubine was also surprised when she received the news, it seems that the saint is going to guard against us, and the concubine marrying the prince is naturally the prince's person, and this heart is naturally biased towards the prince......"

Zhu Ziqi sat in place and listened to the words of this mother-in-law's loyalty, his eyes looked at her eyebrows, but he couldn't see any hypocrisy, recently Zhu Chen's family has been showing favor to the magnates of Ruyang City, which seems to be slightly inconsistent with her usual temperament.

Zhu Chen also felt that there was something wrong with this concubine's gaze, and turned his head to look at Zhu Ziqi, "Doesn't Ziqi believe in his mother?" Even if I marry from the capital, after so many years, can I still be biased towards the capital? ”

"The mother concubine is too careful, I don't mean that." Zhu Ziqi replied.

Zhu Yi waved his hand softly and said, "Now is not the time to discuss this, but does the Holy Lord really plan to use troops against Ruyang City?" We can't just ...... hold our hands on it."

"The prince is right, but according to the concubine's humble opinion, it is estimated that Miss Ye will know something? After all, the queen is her sister-in-law's stepmother, can she not reveal a little bit to her? Zhu Chen covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said.

"Mother, what can she know as a weak woman? You don't want to pour any dirty water on her......" Zhu Ziqi was quite displeased, and immediately spoke out to defend Ye Manjun.

"Period." Zhu Yi scolded his son.

It is a matter of life and death in Ruyang City, and there is no room for too many children's private affairs.

Zhu Chen's heart is quite satisfied with this situation, it is best for the father and son to bite the dog bones, and the corners of her lips under the handkerchief smiled coldly, but when she spoke again, she looked different, "The prince doesn't blame the child, he is not willing to give up the Ye girl, in fact, the concubine is not reluctant, but the safety of our Ruyang City cannot be ignored, what if, this ...... They should be inside and out......"

Zhu Yi immediately frowned when he heard this.

Zhu Ziqi stood up and said: "Father, the fact that Ye Hou Ye can bring his wife here proves that the Holy Lord will not use troops against Ruyang City, Miss Ye is just a weak woman, how can she have the ability to be in harmony with others?" That in itself is unreasonable......"

"You don't give people a bitter plan? Or make a show to us to let us relax our vigilance, and then break through our defense line in one fell swoop, so that the Holy Lord will take back Ruyang City, and our whole family will have no shame to face the ancestors......" Zhu Chen sneered.

This assumption cannot be easily refuted even by Zhu Ziqi, this princess of Ruyang has now grasped the psychology of the high-level people in Ruyang City, and what she has always feared the most is that the court will play this hand.

The staff on the side said loudly: "Lord, the princess is reasonable, the saint is afraid that he wants to use this matter to use troops, we can't sit still, we must secretly arrange troops to deal with it, this is the foundation of the ancestors, and we can't give it to others." ”

"Father, don't act rashly, if we take action, I'm afraid that the Holy One will not have this intention and will have to become there, we have been diligent in training soldiers over the years, and the men in the city can be mobilized in wartime, and we can't make a mistake to anger Yan ...... first."

"The second master's words are wrong, so we are in a place of beating, and we are too passive."

“……”

None of the staff agreed with this move, and they all mobilized troops to deal with it.

Zhu Chen said in due course: "Lord Wang, the concubine feels that several gentlemen are reasonable, we can't touch the heart of the saint, but we can't completely deal with it, if necessary, the official office of Lord Ma sent by the imperial court must also be sealed, so as not to let them act rashly......"

If we do this, how is it different from a declaration of war on the Holy One? Miss Ye and Master Ma both represent the imperial power, and the upcoming Marquis of Xiangyang, if they are really moved, this battle will undoubtedly be fought, and there is no need to discuss. Zhu Ziqi still remained calm and analyzed.

Although he didn't want Ruyang City to be subject to the capital, he really wanted to fight, and Ruyang City, which was in a corner, would not be the opponent of the capital, even if it joined forces with Mongolia. Even if it can drag down the Great Shun Dynasty for ten or eight years, it will definitely lose in the long run.

Therefore, military training is military training, which is to prepare for the use of whether it is needed, but it is necessary to be cautious if we want to move the real chapter.

Zhu Yi is also very clear about his catty, so he has tried his best to maintain the relationship with the Son of Heaven for so many years, after all, the two families are of the same origin and the same sect, so why is it too anxious to fry each other? But the precaution that should be there is indispensable, and after a long time, he finally made a decision, "The analysis of the sub-period is that we are now waiting to see what happens, and send someone to monitor this power of the saint, and if there is any change, report it immediately." ”

"Lord Wang?" The staff and Zhu Chen hurriedly called.

Zhu Yi raised his hand and motioned for them to remain silent, "This matter has been decided by the king, and the surveillance can be carried out generously, that is, let them know that we have discovered something, and when the Marquis of Xiangyang enters the city, this king can listen to his explanation." ”

Zhu Chen took a deep breath, his hand squeezed the handkerchief tightly, he had reached this step of the field, he Zhu Yi could bear it.

"Father is wise." Zhu Ziqi got up and saluted.

Zhu Yi looked at his son with two eyes, "Master Ma and Ye Manjun should also be closely monitored, and you won't let your father down." ”

Speaking of this, even if Zhu Ziqi defended Ye Manjun again, he could no longer defend him, and saluted again: "Father, rest assured, the son will not be dishonored by the mission, and the children's personal affairs will not be against the military affairs, and they will definitely not confuse the two and cause misery." ”

Zhu Yi is quite satisfied with his son's statement, he can distinguish between private feelings and official affairs, but this son did not disappoint him.

Zhu Chen's face was tense, and he had already changed his mind a few times.

The changes in Ruyang City were not known to Ye Xuyao and Lin Long, who were hurrying at this time.

Lin Long, who had been in the carriage all the way, was about to shake his bones, although it was not the first time he had traveled so hard, his body still couldn't bear to protest.

In order to take care of his wife's body, Ye Xuyao will rest and eat on the spot as soon as noon arrives.

This is no exception.

Lin Long got off the carriage by Ruyan, sat on the ground where the bandit stone was laid with a velvet blanket, watched the maid make tea neatly, she clenched the hand warmer, and glanced at Zhou Yingji, who was talking to her husband not far away, this is the deputy general sent by Zhu Ziqi to greet their husband and wife, much more amiable than the person sent by King Ruyang, but I didn't see that this Zhu Ziqi was still quite careful.

Ye Xuyao finished the conversation, walked in the direction of his wife, and sat down beside his wife.

Lin Long handed the tea that Rumei Xin had given her to her husband, "When can we go into the city?" I can't wait to take a hot shower and have a good meal right now. ”

"There are still a few days to go, so bear with me." Ye Xuyao said, "I'll rub your waist bones again when I go back." ”

The husband's words were very serious, but Lin Long blushed and whispered, "It's not serious." ”

Whenever she rubs her waist bone, she will rub it somewhere else, she doesn't know him yet, and she looks scared to death when she looks serious, but in fact she is a "nasty billet" behind her.

"Who's not serious? Blind again. Ye Xuyao reached out and pinched his wife's pretty face.

The couple made love for a while, and Lin Long pointed to Zhou Yingji and said: "Husband, I see that this Zhu Ziqi can send this week's deputy general to meet us, it can be seen that he still cares about his sister-in-law, this is a good thing, my heart is half relieved." ”

"Oh, why half?" Ye Xuyao raised his eyebrows and asked, it was obvious that he was intentionally teasing his wife.

Lin Long glanced at her husband with disgust, "I was originally afraid that my sister would have no intention of Lang and my sister-in-law would suffer, but now it is clearly Lang's affection and concubine's intentions, as long as there is affection, it is easy to do, this is the reason why I let go of half of my heart." As for the other half, my husband also knows that this matter in Ruyang City is not over, and no one knows whether the marriage will be blocked, I really don't want to see my sister-in-law suffer, this long-distance marriage is not good. ”

Ye Xuyao looked at his wife and sighed, and slightly smoothed her frowning brows, "Don't sigh like this, otherwise you will become a yellow-faced woman." ”

"Go, go, who's the yellow-faced woman?" Lin Long waved away her husband's hand, is it possible for her to make herself a yellow-faced woman? After giving birth to a child, in order to get rid of yellowness, she re-equipped the formula for whitening her skin, and her little face was still so white that she could drip water.

Seeing that his wife was alive again, Ye Xuyao was relieved.

Lin Long wouldn't really be angry with her husband, and soon said again: "Husband, we have to say it first, in the future, our daughter will definitely not be able to marry as far away as my sister-in-law, otherwise I will definitely be finished with you." ”

really came to this trip, she completely understood Ye Zhong's mood, and if she was Ye Zhong's, she really had to climb to take a look, otherwise how could she let go of this heart?

Ye Xuyao clenched his wife's hand and said firmly: "Don't worry, there won't be this day." ”

Originally, he didn't have any thoughts about a woman's distant marriage, but now his opinion is completely different, the eldest sister's marriage is not good, and such a tragedy cannot happen to his daughter again. Moreover, Lin Long has Su Ziyu, the current queen, as the backing, and their daughter's marriage will not be at the mercy of people at will.

Lin Long heard her husband's categorical voice, so she stopped thinking about it.

After lunch, Lin Long was helped into the carriage by her husband and continued to move forward to start the last leg of the journey.

Ruyang Palace.

Teng Yuanyuan sat in front of Zhu Chen with a sad face, "Princess, you have to help me......"

Zhu Chen patted her hand, "After all, I am the concubine of this Ruyang Palace, and I still have the final say on the choice of the concubine of this prince, you can rest assured, I will leave a place for you, and even ......"

"Or even what?" Teng Yuanyuan immediately asked.

That Teng Shasha is going back, but she is like fire and water with her, but the letter written by her aunt to her father is in support of Teng Shasha, so that she has no status with her father now, and if she continues like this, she can only be wishful thinking if she wants to marry her cousin.

Zhu Chen leaned close to Teng Yuanyuan's ear and whispered a few words, Teng Yuanyuan's eyes instantly widened, "Princess? ”

"Do you dare?" Zhu Chen sat back in his chair and raised his eyebrows.

Teng Yuanyuan couldn't make a sound for a long time, and she subconsciously licked her lips when she looked at Zhu Chen's confused eyebrows.

"I didn't expect Yuanyuan to be so cowardly, you don't even understand the truth of seeking wealth and danger, it's just that when this princess hasn't said anything, you can go back." Zhu Chen seemed to have lost patience, and stood up holding the maid's hand, "I'm afraid I'm going to call your sister a side concubine in the future." ”

This last sentence deeply stimulated Teng Yuanyuan's nerves, she knelt forward and grabbed Zhu Chen's sleeve, "Princess, I am willing." ”

"No regrets?"

"No regrets."

Teng Yuanyuan's firm appearance made Zhu Chen very satisfied, and sat down again, "This is the Yuanyuan I know, don't worry, with me, you will be able to step into this Ruyang Mansion sooner or later." ”

Teng Yuanyuan thought about the bright prospects, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but play, that's right, in order to get her cousin, she was willing to do anything.

When Ye Xuyao and his wife entered the city, it was already past noon, and the fine snow was even colder.

Zhu Ziqi led people to greet Ye Xuyao and his party at the city gate.

Ye Xuyao was the first to arrive at the gate of the city, and glanced at Zhu Ziqi who came forward, this person was much calmer than he imagined, seeing him bow his hand, he turned over and dismounted, and returned a courtesy to the other party, "Second Master Zhu." ”

"Master Ye, please." Zhu Ziqi made an inviting gesture, "Father has been waiting for the arrival of the Hou Ye for a long time." ”

Ye Xuyao also unceremoniously threw the horsewhip to the bandits, and walked into this Ruyang City side by side with Zhu Ziqi, the end of the trip.

Lin Long in the carriage had already lifted the curtains of the carriage to look at the city, and it was estimated that because the future prince of Ruyang was here, both sides of the road were very quiet, and no one was noisy. However, seeing the shops on both sides of the street, it can be seen that Ruyang City is much more prosperous than she imagined.

"Husband." She whispered.

When this gorgeous carriage drove into the city, Zhu Ziqi deliberately glanced at it and knew that it was Ye Xuyao's wife's room sitting inside.

Ye Xuyao quickly turned around and gently lifted the curtain to help his wife's carriage.

As soon as the young and beautiful Lin Long appeared, many people's eyes immediately widened, this Ye Hou and his wife are rare good looks, it seems that they are such a good match, like a golden boy and a jade girl.

Zhu Ziqi immediately stepped forward to salute, "I've seen Mrs. Hou." ”

Lin Long bowed his knees slightly and returned the salute, "This must be Second Master Zhu, my sister-in-law mentioned you in her letter, so you are no stranger." ”

Zhu Ziqi heard this, and his ears turned slightly red, so that Ye Manjun said a lot of good things about him to his mother's family in the letter, otherwise Ye Xuyao and his wife would not give him such a good look, and immediately became more and more humble, and would do this, just to make a good impression in front of Ye Manjun's family.

This qiē fell in the eyes of Ye Xuyao and Lin Long, but it was the first time they met, and they really had a good impression of this Zhu Ziqi.

I heard that Zhu Ziqi invited her husband to the palace first, but Lin Long remembered Ye Manjun, and she had no official duties, so it was not rude to meet the Ruyang Wang and his wife later, so he said: "Second Master Zhu, I want to go to meet my sister-in-law first, and then visit the prince and princess later, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Zhu Ziqi had long known that Ye Manjun couldn't wait for the arrival of his brother and sister-in-law, but during this time, because of Emperor Chen Bing's arrival at the border of Ruyang City, Ye Manjun had not been able to receive a lot of news, but when he went out of the city to welcome Ye Xuyao today, he had sent a message to Ye Manjun in private, presumably she couldn't wait now.

Therefore, Lin Long's opening was exactly what he wanted, so he nodded hurriedly, and arranged for someone to guide Lin Long to the official office set up by the imperial court in Ruyang City first.

"Be careful yourself." Ye Xuyao whispered in his wife's ear.

He also knew a little about what had happened in Ruyang City in the past two days, but he had to try it himself to know how deep the water was.

Lin Long nodded, and his heart had already rushed to Ye Manjun.

Ye Manjun's mood is the same as Lin Long's, she also feels that the atmosphere has changed in the past few days, first of all, her travel is actually blocked, it can be seen that the feeling that day is not deceiving, it is really an accident.

Zhu Ziqi only sent her a message, telling her to be calm and not impatient, and to be cautious in her words and deeds, but he still has him in everything, and he will protect her thoroughly.

But if others didn't come to tell her what was going on, she couldn't feel at ease.

Then I received a message from Zhu Ziqi today, her brother and sister-in-law are about to enter the city, where can she still sit? I just wanted to go with Ye Xurong and Ye Minglan to greet her, but the guards were strict, and she was not even allowed to enter or exit, which made her hold a stomach full of anger in her chest.

There are also two visitors who have arrived, which makes it even more difficult for her to show her joy.

Teng Yuanyuan and Anxinru glanced at each other, and in the end, Teng Yuanyuan nudged Anxinru, and Anxinru stepped forward to hand over the plum blossom cake on the plate, "Miss Ye, we are sincerely here to apologize to you, it was our fault that we collided with you that day, you can forgive us a lot......

"I've already said I won't blame you, please go back." Ye Manjun really didn't want to be a snake with them, so he ordered to expel the guests.

Anru turned her head to look at Teng Yuanyuan, and secretly shook her head anxiously.

Teng Yuanyuan snatched the plate of plum blossom cakes, held back her disgust, tried her best to show repentance, stepped forward and said softly: "Miss Ye, if you forgive us, let's try this plum blossom cake, this is specially made by the two of us to ask for your forgiveness, this plum blossom cake is a specialty of our Ruyang City, you can taste a piece, otherwise you will not forgive our two sisters......"

"That's right, Miss Ye, we really know it's wrong." Peace of mind is like crying and crying.

Ye Manjun was already impatient to entertain them, what she wanted to do most now was to go to the city gate to meet her brother and sister-in-law, and now seeing that they did not leave the plum blossom cake and the word repentance, she gradually became defensive in her heart, and became more and more unwilling to eat this cake.

"Lay it down, I'll taste it later."

"Miss Ye, do you hate us so much?" Teng Yuanyuan used the agitation method.

These two people are really angry, and Ye Manjun, who has always been good-tempered, also ran out of patience at this time, and stood up with a "ho", intending to drive these two people away to save them from being an eyesore.

At this time, the water curtain ran in excitedly, "Girl, girl, grandma is here......"

As soon as she heard that her sister-in-law was coming, Ye Manjun immediately lifted her skirt and walked out, but she had always paid attention to her manners, but she didn't care about these red tapes at this time.

Rushing out of the house with a look of urgency, walking in the hallway in a hurry, a heart has never been so eager.

The moment Lin Long saw Ye Manjun, he stuffed the hand warmer to Rumei, lifted his skirt and ran to Ye Manjun.

"Sister-in-law—"

"Sister-in-law—"

At the moment of seeing Lin Long, Ye Manjun could no longer hold back the tears of grievance in his eyes, the tears that he had never shed in front of anyone that he had been holding back all along, were instantly released the moment he faced Lin Long.

Lin Long held Ye Manjun in her arms distressedly, this proud girl of the sky really suffered, her hand kept caressing Ye Manjun's back, and comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't cry, I'm here with your brother, and I'll get better......"

She couldn't help but choke up.

The two couldn't help but hug their heads and cry for a while before they stopped.

"Sister-in-law, it's rude to see me." Ye Manjun held Lin Long's hand tightly, and he was reluctant to let go at this moment.

Lin Long looked at Ye Manjun carefully, and after a long time, she said sentimentally: "Sister-in-law, you have lost weight." ”

When Ye Manjun heard this, his nose was sour again, and he almost couldn't help but burst into tears again.

"Sister-in-law, let's talk in the first room."

Lin Long nodded, and walked to the inner room with Ye Manjun affectionately.

Before she could look at the furnishings in this room, she saw two young and beautiful women boldly looking at her and secretly estimating to herself, such a gaze was so rude, this is the noble girl of Ruyang City?

Taking a peek and seeing the whole leopard, Lin Long's first impression of the nobles in Ruyang City was extremely bad-

Off topic -

Thank you for your comfort and understanding, a dream feels that the tip of the nose is also sour, thank you for your support!

Well, everyone is right, when I read this chapter, I thought of the mood of Aunt Jun and Miss Lin, and instantly understood that family members are always the most solid backing, no matter where you are, they are the people who remember you the most.

But often the friction is some very small and subtle things, and after thinking about it, it's wrong, well, it's okay, after all, it's a family, there's nothing that can't be tolerated, and it's over.
