When Mei Ru left Beijing, a secret letter was sent from the Yanwang Mansion to Liaodong. Fu Zheng is in Liaoyang City. It takes about a day and a half to get out of the mountain customs from the capital. There was a shortage of soldiers over there, and when the secret letter arrived, Fu Zheng was not in the city. When he returned to the city after winning the battle, Fu Zheng saw that there was an extra letter on the case. It was mid-September.

This is Shi Dong's secret letter, and there is only Shi Dong's secret letter on the case.

The secret letter reported that Mei Ru accompanied Ah Yan to go to the autumn hunt. Fu Zheng finished sweeping slightly, and couldn't help frowning. He didn't stop for days, and now his eyes were red and bloodshot. The two eyebrows frowned slightly, making people more and more tired.

Fu Zheng sighed. He told this man not to run around, but now it is good, not only did he run, but he also ran to the paddock at once. There were many people in the paddock, and the prince was eyeing him, and there was a ghostly eye by his side...... Fu Zheng's face sank.

Mei Ru is a straightforward person, stubborn and hard-tempered, has no heart, has a big heart, and doesn't think about calculating people, of course, it is easy to be calculated.

Fu Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with Mei Ru's temperament. She is delicate and simple, it is enough to be by his side, Fu Zheng only feels stable, anyway, he is there. But now that this person is not under his nose, Fu Zheng can't let go of it in his heart.

Liaoyang City in September has begun to get cold, and he has a thick brocade robe on his body, and even his heart is heavy. Fu Zheng took the pen to write a good report and returned to Beijing, dipped it in ink, he paused there, and still sighed.

Let's say that everyone from Beijing was lively all the way to the paddock, and it was also the middle of September in the middle of autumn.

Everyone has to go to the queen to say goodbye to the queen first. Meng Yunlan lives in Meiru, and it is convenient for the two sisters to talk. The two of them went over together, and after walking a few steps, they met Mei Qian and several other official wives. No matter when, Mei Qian has a gentle smile on her face, and she can talk to anyone. Those official wives are also willing to be close to Mei Qian. When I met Mei Ru at this time, several people saluted Mei Ru together, and Mei Qian was also blessed.

"Princess Yan."

Mei Ru hurriedly excused them from the ceremony, and helped Mei Qian and said, "Second sister, don't be polite. ”

"The princess is polite." Mei Qian replied respectfully. She follows the etiquette the most, one is one, two is two, and she never exceeds half a point. Mei Ru knew her temperament, and she didn't force these titles anymore. The others were a few steps behind and let the three of them walk together. Mei Qian asked Meng Yunlan: "When will Lan'er move over?" ”

"Good sister-in-law, I want to follow along." Meng Yunlan took Mei Ru's hand and said.

Mei Qian bluffed her: "Don't be so big and small." ”

"How so?" Meng Yunlan said, "I follow the best steps." She said and winked at Meiru. Mei Ru helped: "Yes, second sister, let Yunlan live with me, let's have a good time together." ”

"Still not right." Mei Qian shook her head, and she gently persuaded, "Lan'er, you have already troubled the princess all the way, and your brother has been reluctant to go." ”

Hearing Mei Qian mention Meng An, Mei Ru followed the greetings and interrupted: "Second sister, Cousin An, he ......" After saying this title, Mei Ru hurriedly avoided suspicion and changed her words: "How is my brother-in-law lately?" ”

From childhood to adulthood, Mei Ru called Meng An her cousin. She is used to being called, but because of the title, she was told by Fu Zheng once. The reason was the second sister's birthday, Mei Ru wanted to give Mei Qian a painting, so before Fu Zheng left Beijing, she asked him if there was a painting of Wu Zhifu in the palace. Fu Zheng replied lightly at that time: "No." Daozhi asked me for the year before last. Mei Ru was surprised when she heard this, and blurted out: "Cousin? The man's face immediately sank, and he reminded unceremoniously: "He's still your brother-in-law!" Just this sentence, Mei Ru was greatly embarrassed.

At this time, Mei Qian understood the meaning of Mei Ru's words, smiled, and said, "He's still like that." ”

A few people arrived outside the queen's tent while talking, and the palace maid said: "Niangniang is unwell, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are in front of Niangniang, the princess and the ladies will be later, and the slave maid will go in and spread the word." ”

Mei Ru bowed slightly.

Next to her, Mei Qian's face suddenly changed, and she lowered her head uncomfortably.

Hearing that Mei Ru and the others came to say goodbye, the prince consciously retired. He was thinking about the man outside, and he hurried under his feet, and when he came out of his mother's tent, he saw the man. Mei Ru is always special when she stands there, like a straight flower branch, and the eyes of people who can hook them drift over unconsciously. But you can't always stare at it like this, the prince glanced to the side a little more-

At this glance, he froze.

Obediently, there is a fairy-like person!

Although I can only see a small half of my face, it is already the appearance of the country and the city, with the eyebrows of the mantis, the skin is like condensation, and there is a touch of delicacy between the slender figures. The weakness was like a wisp of wind blowing on the grassland, which softened people's hearts.

His heart jumped twice, and the prince looked at Mei Ru next to him again.

One is weak, the other is bright, and both tickle their hearts.

Sensing the prince's eyes swirling back and forth among the sisters, Mei Ru raised her head, her gaze poked coldly, and said, "Your Highness." With a little blessing, she led Mei Qian and Meng Yunlan into the queen's tent.

After a tiring journey in the past few days, Queen Li's face was obviously tired, and she couldn't hide her tiredness. The Imperial Physician had already come to see and treat him. After Mei Ru and the others said goodbye, the queen let them all go down.

Thinking of the prince's ill-intentioned eyes before, Mei Ru looked at the second sister beside her. Seeing that Mei Qian was still embarrassed with her head down, Mei Ru turned her head to Meng Yunlan and said, "Lan'er, you better move over and rely on the second sister." Meng Yunlan sighed and was puzzled: "Why?" Do you want me to live? ”

"Where?" Mei Ru smiled, "I have to be with that princess these days, the second sister she can't ride a horse, she is boring." "Actually, Mei Ru just wants to have Meng Yunlan as Mei Qian's companion, and the second sister has less chance of being disgusted by the prince.

"Okay." Meng Yunlan nodded in agreement.

Mei Qian was slightly stunned, and there was a moment of trance in her eyes.

Over there, after the prince went back, he asked people to inquire quietly. When he heard that the fairy-like people were the second girl of Meifu and the second grandmother of Mengfu, the prince couldn't help but feel angry. There are two big girls hiding in this Mei Mansion, and he didn't even eat any of them! The prince scolded fiercely. Recalling his sister's appearance like Chan'e, he was itching, and then thinking that his sister's appearance was slightly inferior, but her bones were cold and hard, he was crispy...... The prince thought in a trance, if he really cares about it, he is still a soft and hard person with a chewy head, which can always make people want to conquer, no wonder Lao Qi will marry. The prince sighed.

……

On the paddock, the people of Northern Liao also arrived, and a banquet was held by Northern Liao that day and night.

Last year, the Wei Dynasty suffered several big defeats under them, and also cut several cities next to the Liao River, which was a little unable to raise its head for a while, and Emperor Yanchang was even more embarrassed. The banquet was tense and noisy, and Queen Li sat on it with a tired face.

When Mei Ru accompanied Ah Yan to greet the queen the next day, not only the crown princess was there, but Zhou Suqing was also there. These days, the prince is not very effective, so he urgently needs the help of Mrs. He. Empress Li's spirit is much better today, and she is praising Zhou Suqing's own condensing incense at this time.

It turned out that last night when she saw that the queen was tired, Zhou Suqing took out this incense. The smell of this incense is very light, wafting out, not easy to detect, but inexplicably refreshing. The queen was full of praise for this, and praised Zhou Suqing several times in a row.

Ah Mo said to Mei Ru, "Can I ask for some?" She had never seen this kind of fragrance in Xiqiang, and she seemed extremely curious at this time. Mei Ru asked Zhou Suqing like this, and Zhou Suqing smiled: "Naturally." Then he said to Ah Yan: "The concubine will send it to the princess in person later." This time she used the official dialect of Xiqiang.

Ah Yan was stunned, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "You will too?" ”

Zhou Suqing said shyly: "A little more understandable." ”

Mei Ru looked at Zhou Suqing and couldn't help but secretly wonder, this person must be unwilling to be just a concubine of the East Palace, and it is strange that she has learned these things unconsciously.

Empress Li was also surprised, but still boasted: "It is worthy of being taught by Mrs. He." ”

Song Yu grinned: "Only I'm the worst, I don't learn anything, I think about eating, drinking and having fun all day long." ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Zhou Suqing hurriedly bowed his head and said.

Song Yu laughed and said to Zhou Suqing: "Zhou Liangyuan, don't be so humble. I'm proud that you're so capable. ”

Empress Li was amused, and also laughed, there was laughter and laughter in the tent for a while, and suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent, and Empress Li was displeased, and called someone to come in and ask, "What's going on outside?" ”

The palace maid replied: "His Highness Eleventh wants to compete with the people of Northern Liao." ”

"Oh?" Empress Li said with great interest, "Let's go out and have a look." ”

Outside, Fu Zhao did make an appointment with someone to race horses and archery, and it was very lively, and everyone gathered around to watch. Knowing that Fu Zhao was going to compete, Ah Yan flattened his mouth and said to Mei Ru: "Is this the only thing you have?" She spoke loudly, Fu Zhao couldn't understand it, but he also knew that it was not a good word, so he glared at her coldly. Ah Ai looked away disdainfully.

The queen led the ladies to sit on a high place. On Mei Ru's left is Ah Yan, and on her right is Meng Yunlan. As soon as Fu Zhao came out, the girls around him were stunned. I saw that he was wearing a golden crown on his head, wearing a dark waist tunic suit, embroidered with gold and silver threads, which was particularly dazzling under the golden crow, his clothes were sassy, his face was cold, and he was carrying a big bow behind him, revealing a murderous aura.

Mei Ru saw it in her eyes and sighed softly, this Fu Zhao really looks like Fu Zheng that year. If you only look at the back, the two of them are both long, with broad shoulders and narrow waists, but Fu Zheng has always been unsmiling, and there is coldness between his eyebrows and eyes, which makes people scared for no reason...... Thinking of Empress Li's reminder, Mei Ru opened her eyes indifferently and didn't look at it much.

Meng Yunlan also felt that this person was not like the usual Fu Zhao, she bit her ear with Mei Ru: "It's really a person who relies on clothes, and a Buddha who relies on gold, and he must still look like that fool!" Mei Ru laughed quietly: "You look down on him the most." Meng Yunlan pursed her lips and did not speak.

What is astonishing is that Fu Zhao won two games in a row on this day, and Beiliao was not convinced, and he had to continue to compete.

This time it's a contest at the girl's house. Those princesses of Northern Liao are all good at riding and shooting, and now their heads are raised high, full of arrogance. Princess Bao Hui was angry and had long been eager to try. Those people squinted at Princess Baohui and asked Queen Li alone, "Empress, what about the person who won us three years ago?" This refers to Mei Ru, who won the horse race against them that year, and they still remember it. Empress Li smiled awkwardly, but Princess Baohui was so angry that she jumped to her feet.

Mei Ru is married, this kind of thing naturally can't be mixed casually, especially with Queen Li staring at it. Mei Ru didn't go, but Ah Yan was going, and Queen Li nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Mei Ru quietly asked Meng Yunlan: "Yunlan, do you want to try it?" "She had taught Meng Yunlan to ride a horse before.

Meng Yunlan shook her head, her face was embarrassed: "I still don't want to lose this person." "Her skills are too poor, and she hasn't ridden for two years under Xiao Qiao's control, and now I'm afraid that she won't be able to pedal again, and she won't be able to play at all. Holding Mei Ru's hand and sitting there, Meng Yunlan saw that those girls were all heroic and vibrant, especially the eyes at the front, like a fire, which caused everyone to exclaim. Meng Yunlan couldn't help but be envious.

On this day, Ah Yan won the championship, and when he went to the emperor to receive the reward, Empress Li said to Emperor Yanchang: "Such a good princess, why don't you stay with us?" ”

Emperor Yanchang laughed and nodded, "It's really worth staying." ”

Ah Mo came this time to pick a son-in-law first, but not just from the Wei Dynasty. She followed her to the paddock, just to try it on the Beiliao side. The competition just now also wanted those people to see her ability. If he can borrow the power of Northern Liao, then Xiqiang will be able to break away from the Wei Dynasty, and he will be able to kill multiple birds with one stone. Therefore, at this time, she smiled innocently and romantically at the jokes of Emperor Yanchang and Empress Li, and she was all ignorant and perfunctory.

After receiving the reward, when he passed by Fu Zhao's side, Ah Yan moved his eyebrows defiantly.

Queen Li has seen it in her eyes these days, and she guesses that Princess Ah Yan seems to be interested in Fu Zhao, but she doesn't want to fulfill this family business. Whoever marries this princess has the power of Xiqiang behind her, and Queen Li doesn't want to cheap Fu Zhao, and then cheap Fu Zheng.

I saw Fu Zhao disdainfully turning his face, his eyes didn't know where to go, and he lowered his head in a hurry.

This person is not scheming in the end, he avoids it too quickly and too bluntly, Queen Li looked over and saw Mei Ru not far away. Her eyes swirled around Mei Ru and Fu Zhao, and she secretly frowned in disgust.

……

Mei Ru had been blowing the wind all morning, her head hurt a little, and her lower abdomen also hurt a little, so she went back at noon to take a nap.

Jingqin made the bed and Yichan served Mei Ru's wide clothes. The queen's Mama Qin didn't speak, but only stared at everyone's every move with a cold face. In this way, they are not comfortable. Mei Ru instructed, "Mama go down and use something." Mama Qin replied with a straight look: "Princess Xie is compassionate, the old slave is neither tired nor hungry." After saying that, he still stood straight next to him. Mei Ru sighed, she felt that Fu Zheng was really right, Mama Zou in the house was much easier to deal with than this.

Mei Ru rubbed her temples, and just as Ah Yan came in to look for her. Seeing that Mei Ru's face was a little pale, she said unhappily: "Are you uncomfortable? He said, "Then you can sleep, and I'll go find Zhou Liangyuan to accompany you." But in one morning, she and Zhou Suqing became acquainted.

When Mei Ru woke up, she replied: "Miss Zhou went to the princess before, and sent some incense, and now she will accompany the princess to ride a horse and shoot hunting." ”

Mei Ru nodded. Zhou Suqing quietly learned the official dialect of Xiqiang, and he must look for an opportunity to express himself well. Now that the opportunity is in front of her, how can she be willing to miss it? Thinking of that person, Mei Ru felt uncomfortable. Zhou Suqing is willing to take this credit, and she doesn't fight. That man is doing the same thing on the surface, and he doesn't know what bad idea he is playing.

On this day and night, Emperor Yanchang held a banquet.

Mei Ru was not very well, drank two glasses of wine, and left the table early.

Zhou Suqing saw it in her eyes, chuckled, and looked at Fu Zhao.

Fu Zhao won two competitions today, and a lot of wine was poured during the banquet. His face was flushed, and the whole person was a little dazed, and the figures in front of him were heavy. Between the words of Emperor Yanchang before, it was implied that he seemed to be going to set a family affair for him, and it was possible that it was still that Ah Yan. Thinking of going to Princess Xiqiangshang, Fu Zhao became more and more bored. He was unhappy, and he ate several glasses of wine, and his face turned red.

The cool breeze blew in the night, and his head was a little heavy, Fu Zhao shook his head, got up and left to sober up. He was drowsy, and he didn't know where to go. Coming back to his senses, he found himself behind the paddock.

Behind the paddock was a slope where he had taught Meiru archery.

Fu Zhao was stunned, hurriedly shook his head, and gave an order to the eunuch behind him, and walked around at will. It was quiet here, there was no hustle and bustle ahead, and there was the neighing of horses not far away, Fu Zhao was stunned and walked along.

I saw a petite man quietly practicing horseback riding, and he didn't pedal up for a long time, and he shouted to the maid next to him, "Stop it." That was really funny and ridiculous, Fu Zhao couldn't help it, and laughed. The man twisted his face in annoyance.

Under the light moonlight, it was Meng Yunlan.

Fu Zhao snorted, stepped forward and said in disgust: "Why haven't you stepped on it yet?" ”

Meng Yunlan replied: "Do you want to talk more?" "She's petite, it's already difficult, and she's still being seen in the dilemma of practicing secretly, why isn't she annoyed?

Fu Zhao stabilized the horse for her, and said with a smile: "You try it now?" ”

"Who wants you to be kind?"

"Hurry up! This prince doesn't have the patience to do that! Fu Zhao said irritably.

Meng Yunlan was quiet for a while, grabbed the reins, stepped on the horse, jumped hard, and stepped up. Fu Zhao let go of his hand and patted the horse's buttocks gently, and the horse moved slowly. Meng Yunlan was a little nervous, she remembered the movements that Mei Ru taught her, and tried to clamp the horse's belly, and the horse slowly trotted up.

After a while, she ran more and more smoothly, the wind was blowing in her ears, it was really refreshing, Meng Yunlan looked back and smiled: "Thank you, Your ......"

There was no one on the other side of the place where Fu Zhao was standing.

Meng Yunlan stopped talking and asked the maid with some doubts: "What about Your Highness?" ”

The maid was far away, and she didn't see it clearly, so she frowned and said, "It seems that the maid in front of Princess Yan came to invite Her Highness, and Her Highness passed." ”

Hearing that it was the person next to Mei Ru, Meng Yunlan immediately reprimanded with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense." The maid nodded hurriedly.
