In an embroidery room in a small town in Chen Guoluancheng, it is the time for embroidery girls to work. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the afternoon, a ray of sunlight shone in through the window, dappled on the embroidery frame. A young embroiderer is concentrating on embroidering a peony flower.

was embroidering, and with a "snap", an embroidery sample was thrown in front of the woman.

"This is the shopkeeper of the king of West Street, and it will be embroidered before fifteen, and their family is in a hurry to use it!"

The woman whispered: "Mama Zhao, I am also in a hurry for the work in my hands, I have been in a hurry for three days, and I have not rested, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it before fifteen." ”

Mama Zhao snorted: "Who cares about you?" Who hasn't been busy in the embroidery room lately? If you are told to do it, you will do it quickly, if you can't finish it, you will be delayed, and the king's shopkeeper will blame it, be careful of your skin! ”

The woman sighed softly, took the embroidery, folded it and set it aside.

A contemptuous voice came from the side: "Work is still conditional, do you want to eat?" ”

"She can't finish her work, and we haven't seen each other for a few days. I haven't been out for days, and I don't know what's going on outside. ”

The woman bowed her head and remained silent, concentrating on the work.

Mama Zhao's voice came: "Hey, who are you?" I have a job to book to find the shopkeeper Li at the front desk, this backyard is full of embroidery girls, why don't you break in like a fly? ”

"We're here for someone, get out of here!" A magnetic voice came. The woman's hand stopped in mid-air.

Breaking into the backyard of the embroidery room were three men, dressed in black mourning clothes, one over half a hundred years old, with long eyebrows and a slightly chubby figure; A man in his thirties, with a majestic figure and a cold and self-prestigious; One is in his twenties, with a clear face and a long figure.

Mama Zhao's sharp voice came: "Who are you looking for?" The backyard is full of women, you big men......"

Before the words fell, the tall man pushed Mama Zhao aside.

The short and fat man walked up to the half-stunned woman, smiled and said, "Long time no see." ”

The woman did not look up, her hand trembled slightly, and the embroidery needle pricked her finger, and the woman was in pain, and the embroidery fell to the ground.

The tall man said coldly: "I haven't seen you for three years, Taifu has even forgotten the basic rules?" ”

"Taifu?" The surrounding embroiderers all cast surprised glances at Yu Ruyan.

The woman looked up and saw that the three of them were staring at her, and the man with a long figure frowned slightly, and asked, "Taifu, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" ”

"The folk girl has seen Uncle Zhongzhong, General Yang, and Lord Xiao." The woman got up and bowed, looked at the three of them again, and asked, "......What is this garment?"

The three people in front of him, the old one is Chen Guozhongbo, Zhao Xuanfang, the tall one is Chen Guozheng's second-rank auxiliary general Yang Chuting, and the delicate face is Xiao Feiqing, the head of Chen Guo's household department.

"Taifu doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly." Zhao Xuanfang smiled lightly, "In our eyes, you are still my Chen Guo Taifu." ”

As soon as the words "Mrs. Chen Guo" came out, you can hear the embroidery room suddenly and quietly drop a needle.

It's her!

The ordinary embroidery girl in front of her is the woman who caused a sensation in the court and other countries back then.

Yu Ruyan, the crown prince of Chen State, is the only female official among the countries.

At the age of ten, his family was ruined, and he met Emperor Chen Guowen, who was out on patrol at that time, and adopted him in the palace. She was gifted and intelligent, and became the prince's companion.

At the age of thirteen, Wen Dili overrode public opinion and promoted her to the crown prince and young master.

At the age of fifteen, he was crowned the crown prince and the prince, and the official residence was a first-class product, ranking as the third duke. It is said that on the day she was crowned as a princess, she wore a women's court dress specially customized for her, and walked in slowly, stunning the four.

At the age of seventeen, the great revenge was avenged, tired of the struggle of the imperial court, and returned to the embroidery house.

Xiao Feiqing took out a set of mourning clothes from behind him, handed them to Yu Ruyan, and said in a choked voice: "Taifu, put it on." ”

Tears suddenly burst out of her eyes, Yu Ruyan trembled and took the mourning clothes, her throat seemed to be choked, and she couldn't make any sound for a long time.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and Emperor Chen Guowen died suddenly due to a sudden illness, and the whole country mourned. During the reign of Emperor Wen, the power of the state of Chen turned from strong to strong, and gradually rose among the countries, faintly confronting the strongest state of Chu today.

The notice of Emperor Wen's death has gradually spread throughout the country, the town is remote, and Yu Ruyan rarely goes out, and recently she has been doing embroidery all day long, and she doesn't talk to anyone, so she doesn't know about Emperor Wen's death for the time being.

Until, really saw it all.

"The first emperor, the first emperor......" Yu Ruyan knelt on the ground holding her mourning clothes, crying bitterly.

Xiao Feiqing took a step forward, helped Yu Ruyan up, and said sadly: "The deceased has passed away, please mourn the princess." ”

"Did Taifu just know?" Yang Chuting asked coldly.

Yu Ruyan didn't answer, just cried bitterly. Emperor Wen's kindness, before he repaid it, he was already going to put on mourning clothes for him.

Zhao Xuanfang sighed: "Taifu should take care of his body, now is not the time to grieve." ”

Xiao Feiqing said softly: "Taifu, we really came to you as a last resort. Go with us, we'll ...... I have something to talk to you about. ”

Yu Ruyan cried and asked, "The first emperor ...... When did it go? ”

Xiao Feiqing gently wiped her tears for her and sighed: "On the night of the third day of the junior high school, I suddenly fell ill and died in the early morning of the fourth day of the junior high school. ”

"The first emperor ......" Yu Ruyan came from sorrow, mourning and crying.

Yang Chuting stepped forward, pulled up Yu Ruyan, and said, "Without further ado, come with us." ”

"Be lighter!" Xiao Feiqing shook Yang Chuting's hand away, frowned, and said, "Taifu is a woman, how can you be so vulgar and rude?" ”

Yang Chuting glanced at him coldly and said, "Now is not the time for her to cry, let's hurry up and get on the road." If you want to cry, cry on the way. ”

Yu Ruyan wiped away the tears on her face and said, "I'll go and pack my things, and the adults will wait for me in front of the embroidery room." ”

Xiao Feiqing nodded and said, "Taifu, let's go out and wait for you." ”

After the three of them went out, Yu Ruyan held the mourning clothes and walked to her room with difficulty. The strange thing is that the embroidery girls, handymen, and apprentices who originally came to watch the excitement all consciously made a way for her as if they had made an appointment.

Yu Ruyan didn't have the heart to care about them, she went back to the house with her mourning clothes and put them on, simply packed up the necessary things, and turned around and walked out of the door.

When I opened the door, I saw that the people in the embroidery room were all looking at her at the door, and when they saw her come out, they were all frightened and retreated.

"Too ...... Taifu. The shopkeeper Li of the embroidery room shouted tremblingly.

Mama Zhao screamed in fright, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and cried: "I should die, I should die, the old slave has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he collided with Master Taifu, and the adult spares his life!" ”

Yu Ruyan's body shook slightly, looked at the frightened people in front of her, and whispered: "From now on, I am not the embroidery lady Yu, but Chen Guotai Fu Yu Ruyan." Everyone, I'm gone......"

As soon as the words fell, two black shadows flashed through the air, and one palm slashed at the back of Yu Ruyan's neck.

Yu Ruyan only felt a burst of soreness, her eyes were dark, and she fainted.

When I woke up again, it was already dark. Yu Ruyan slowly opened her eyes, only to see a deserted temple in front of her, several people dressed in black, with their backs to her.

"Who are you?" Yu Ruyan struggled to get up and asked in a dumb voice.

Two of them turned to look at her with a smile.

Yu Ruyan frowned and asked, "Wu Ruoyu?" ”

A woman in black smiled like a flower, and her lips opened lightly: "It's me." Taifu, don't come to harm? ”

The man in black next to him also turned around, looked at her and smiled, "Taifu, it's been a long time." ”

"Murong Jiu, what do you want to do?" Yu Ruyan asked angrily.

The man in front of him is Murong Jiu, the servant of Chen Guo's ministry, and the woman next to him who is called "Wu Ruoyu" is his sister-in-law and lover, and the daughter of Wu Qingyun, the head of the Yinshan faction of the Jianghu gang.

Murong Jiu smiled evilly, walked up to Yu Ruyan, hooked her chin, and said softly: "Taifu is dressed in mourning clothes, he must have known about the death of the first emperor, right?" I didn't have any ill intentions when I waited for Taifu to come, I wanted to negotiate a deal with you. ”

Hearing the word "death", Yu Ruyan still inevitably felt sadness, and tears overflowed her eyes.

Wu Ruoyu was a little dissatisfied when she saw that Murong Jiu was so close to Yu Ruyan, and said sarcastically: "They have all become lost dogs, and they are still pretending to be virtuous." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Ruyan frowned and asked.

Murong Jiu smiled and said, "Now there are two roads in front of Taifu, one is Kangzhuang Avenue and the other is Huangquan Road, it depends on how Taifu chooses." ”

Yu Ruyan put aside Murong Jiu's frivolous hand in disgust, and said coldly: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." ”

Murong Jiu smiled lightly and nodded, "Okay, I like refreshing people." Taifu, the first emperor died, the country cannot be without a king for a day, who should sit on the throne of the emperor? ”

Yu Ruyan sneered and said, "The first emperor has already set up a crown prince before, and the crown prince ascended the throne, which is logical, what do you mean by this?" ”

Murong Jiu said with a smile: "We can guarantee that Taifu will be prosperous and wealthy in the second half of his life, and he will have no worries about food and clothing, as long as Taifu can give us what we want." ”
