Out of the guest house, back to the Changping princess courtyard. Xiao Qianwei and Xiao Qianchi were already waiting in the courtyard. Seeing Nangong Mo leisurely strolling back, he knew that there must be nothing wrong. Xiao Qianchi smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you cousin-in-law." Nangong Oh smiled: "Thank you for what?" It's just a matter of walking a few steps and saying a few words. Don't worry, it's okay. ”

"I don't know, what is the reason why that Mrs. Gao Yibo is angry?" Xiao Qianchi asked.

Nangong Mo sneered and said, "Angry? Naturally, it was because the team to send off relatives was left in the inn. But... said that Mrs. Gao Yibo was angry, but I think it is better to say that Zhou Xiang was tempting the Yanwang Mansion. "Mrs. Gao Yibo has been making trouble in the courtyard for so long, if Gao Yibo and Zhou Xiang wanted to shut her up, they would have come forward a long time ago, why wait until the people from Yanwangfu went to look late?

"Temptation?" Xiao Qianwei frowned, "Please ask my cousin for advice." Nangong Mo said: "Naturally, it is the attitude of the Yan Wangfu towards this marriage. Xiao Qianchi frowned and said: "There is no need to tempt, they should also know the attitude of their father and mother towards this marriage." "At such a sensitive time, he still gave marriage in such an abrupt way, could it be that Xiao Qianye could still hope that King Yan and the princess would have a good attitude?

Nangong Mo shook his head and said with a light smile, "No, I mean, they want to test the Yan Palace's tolerance for the imperial court. ”

Both of them were stunned and looked at each other. Xiao Qianwei asked, "Cousin... What do you say? ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "Naturally, you don't have to be polite to them." ”

"It's... Isn't it too..."

Nangong Mo said in a deep voice: "Yan Wangfu's acceptance of His Majesty's marriage has already explained our attitude, if we back down again, it will either make Jinling feel that Yan Wangfu is weak and can be bullied, or it will make people feel that Yan Wangfu has a ghost." For these people, there is no need to let anymore. ”

"That's a good point." King Yan strode in from the outside, followed by Wei Junmo with a calm face. Glancing at Xiao Qianchi's brothers, King Yan said, "Your cousin-in-law's words, can you figure it out?" ”

Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei hurriedly got up and respectfully bowed their hands to Nangong Mo: "Brother is stupid, thank you cousin-in-law for your advice." Nangong Mo naturally let go and said with a smile: "What to say, it's just a few words of gossip." Uncle doesn't think I'm talking too much. ”

King Yan looked at his two sons, frowned slightly, and said, "That's it, you guys go first." Don't sue your mother about this matter first. ”

"Yes, Father." Among the three Xiao Qianchi brothers, except for Xiao Qianjiong, the two eldest ones are a little afraid of King Yan. After listening to King Yan's words, he naturally immediately said goodbye.

"The surname Zhu is really bold! Do you really think that with Xiao Qianye supporting him behind his back, this king won't dare to do anything to him?! In addition to the hall, Xiao Qianchi and the two brothers hurriedly did it in a hurry, and said in a deep voice. Wei Junmo lowered his eyes and said, "Uncle, I'm afraid this matter may not be what Gao Yibo meant." "Gao Yibo has been a man in Jinling City for more than 20 years with his head down, and he will not forget his sense of proportion all of a sudden.

King Yan was not an impulsive person, raised his eyes and said lightly: "Zhou Xiang." ”

Wei Junmo nodded lightly, and King Yan snorted coldly: "Those old men... The father actually asked them to return to Jinling! After thinking about it, King Yan simply waved his hand and said, "That's it!" Zhou Xiang's old man likes to be smart, but this kind of person is easy to deal with. It's the wedding in two days, and after the wedding, let them get out of the way for this king immediately! ”

Knowing that King Yan was in a bad mood, Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo didn't say anything to make him angry, and both nodded, "Yes, uncle." ”

Two days passed in a flash, and the weather in Youzhou was sunny and cloudless early in the morning, which was obviously a good day. Early in the morning, the entire Youzhou City was already lively. The merchant doors on both sides of the street are draped in red and green in front of the door, decorating most of Youzhou City with joy.

On a restaurant on the road to King Yan's mansion after all, Zhou Xiang and E Guogong sat in a side room and drank tea. Through the window, you can see the crowds of people on the street below. By the time the procession passed by at noon, they could see it clearly.

E Guogong was in a bad mood and sat on the side drinking tea alone. I didn't bother to talk to Zhou Xiang. He used to be a coarse man who couldn't read big words, and even now he only knows a little bit of words, and when he talks about etiquette and poetry, he also plays the piano to the cow. Naturally, I can't talk about it with a scholarly Confucian in the literary world like Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang didn't look down on him, and he didn't bother to talk to these scholars.

However, Zhou Xiang looked at Eguogong, and rarely took the initiative to speak: "How does Eguogong look at this Youzhou city?" ”

"Not bad." E Guogong disagreed. Youzhou is located in the bitter cold land of the north, even if King Yan is well governed, it is still not as prosperous as Jinling. Don't say it's Jinling, even the richer cities in the south are not as good. However, the people of Youzhou live and work in peace and contentment, and they do not see the suffering of the people of Eguogong himself when he was young, so it can be seen that the taxes in Youzhou should not be heavy, and King Yan still treats the people very well.

"Not bad?" Zhou Xiang raised his white eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid... It's so good. ”

"Lord Zhou." E Guogong frowned, put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Zhou Xiang in front of him and said in a deep voice: "The people are doing well, is it difficult for Lord Zhou to have any opinions?" Or does His Royal Highness King Yan want to make Youzhou boil with public resentment, and it is really good for the people to make a living? "He's not really a fool, how could he not understand what Zhou Xiang meant? Even if you can't hear the true meaning of it, you should understand if you have been ridiculed by those literati for so many years. Zhou Xiang1 just felt that King Yan governed Youzhou too well, and he had no different intentions.

If it's just because of this, you will speculate on a prince of the town with outstanding military achievements. E Guogong just wants to say that if you go down here, even if you don't want to, you have to rebel.

The Duke of Eguo also started with the rebellion of the first emperor, so he naturally understands it better than ordinary people. Except for those who are really ambitious and afraid that the world will not be chaotic, the vast majority of people are willing to rebel unless they are really cornered? It's a gamble with your life.

Beau's stuff.

Zhou Xiang was so blocked by him that he couldn't speak for a while, he, a person who reads sage books, can't say that he means this, right?

Eguo Gong snorted coldly, looked at Zhou Xiang and said, "Lord Zhou, what we should do as courtiers is to faithfully assist Your Majesty." If there is anything wrong with His Majesty, he should also be faithfully admonished. Wen dies and Wu dies in battle, isn't the former exactly what those imperial histories talk about every day? Zhou Xiang was so angry that his face turned blue and white for a while, and the Duke of Eguo was clearly saying that he didn't know how to persuade the king, and he also followed to provoke the relationship between His Majesty and the vassal king. Zhou Xiang only felt a bitterness in his mouth, although he also agreed with His Majesty's idea of withdrawing the domain, but he never thought of being in a hurry. It's really because of some unspeakable reasons, I have to target King Yan and Wei Junmo. But if such a reason is said, in the eyes of a person like E Guogong who doesn't know anything about the emperor's mind at all, it is clearly nonsense, and it is okay not to say it.

Although Zhou Xiang was angry, he didn't say anything. He knew very well in his heart that Yuan Chun was loyal to the imperial court, and Yuan Chun was the only remaining founding veteran after Nangong Huai. What's more, he is also the queen's biological father and the emperor's eldest son's grandfather. As a last resort, the emperor will never move Yuanchun.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xiang wiped away the anger on his face, and said with a reluctant smile: "Eguo Gong misunderstood the old man's meaning." ”

Duke E didn't want to really fall out with Zhou Xiang, compared to himself, the national abbot with heavy troops, Xiao Qianye really trusted these teachers and ministers who taught him since childhood. E Guogong nodded slightly, and he didn't mention this matter. Zhou Xiang only sighed in his heart that bringing Yuan Chun with him was a hindrance at all, he knew that he was so stubborn, he shouldn't have brought him here at all.

Zhou Xiang didn't know that they could have such a good treatment in Youzhou now, and half of them were due to Yuan Chun. Yan Wang 1 no longer waits to see them and his party, but for a founding minister like Yuan Chun, he still has to give some face.

Seeing that noon was approaching, the sound of jubilation and suona drums came from the streets in the distance. Yuan Chun stood up and said, "The two sons of the Yan Wangfu went out to greet their relatives, and we should go back." "Since they are here to attend the wedding, they naturally have to act like they are attending the wedding. It's already a bit bad to run out early in the morning, and you can't really miss the wedding. Zhou Xiang also knew that E Guogong was right, got up and nodded, and the two walked downstairs one after the other.

In the Yanwang Mansion, today is naturally full of guests. Princess Yan, who hadn't gone out to see guests for a long time, also cleaned up and appeared in front of everyone wearing the official dress of the prince and concubine. Although he has just recovered from a serious illness, his face is still a little unsightly, but after the skillful hands of the girls around him, he applied a little thin powder, and he looked full of joy with a smile. I can't see any dissatisfaction with this marriage.

Nangong Mo and the Chen family followed Princess Yan and Princess Changping to receive the female dependents. Most of the noblewomen in Youzhou City had only seen Nangong Mo at the banquet in the Yanwang Mansion last time, and they were not very familiar with it. At this time, seeing her and Princess Yan following Princess Yan and Princess Changping together, she paid more attention to Princess Changping's daughter-in-law. However, Nangong Mo has not been in Youzhou for a long time, which has left an impression in the eyes of many people that he does not like to socialize. Only a few people who know the inside story know the whereabouts of this princess's daughter-in-law, the county lord of the first emperor's imperial seal.

The Chen family was finally released to meet the guests, and naturally they didn't dare to make any mistakes. followed Princess Yan and Princess Changping to flatter her best. It's just that she is quite anxious these days, and she has just had a miscarriage and has not recuperated well, and her expression is a little gloomy compared to Princess Yan, who has been seriously ill. Looking at the eyes of these noble ladies, I don't know how many things are made up in the brain.

"Congratulations to Princess Yan, may the two sons and young ladies grow old together and give birth to a noble son as soon as possible." Mrs. Xue and her two daughters appeared generously in front of people. Most of the people in Youzhou City had heard of the marriage between the second son of Yanwangfu and the eldest lady of the Xue family before, and they originally thought that the two families must be a little estranged, but they didn't expect Mrs. Xue to come to congratulate her daughter generously, and even the eldest lady Xue had a decent smile on her face, and she couldn't see the appearance of a forced smile. Now that the second son of Yan Wangfu is married, and the eldest lady of the Xue family is about to leave the cabinet, it is obvious that the two families have not taken this matter to heart. I couldn't help but praise the Xue family in my heart, and the speculation that the two families were estranged was self-defeating.

Princess Yan had a smile on her face, but when she looked at Xue Yunyun, a flash of regret flashed in her eyes. said with a smile: "Your eldest girl's wedding date is also approaching, everyone is happy." When the time comes, you can invite me to a glass of wine. Mrs. Xue smiled happily: "The princess can appreciate her face, which is a blessing for this girl." ”

Princess Changping also smiled: "Madame, don't just remember the third sister-in-law when the time comes, but forget me." ”

Mrs. Xue didn't dare to say anything, the previous divorce still had some impact on Xue Yunyun's reputation. But if Princess Yan and Princess Changping are present in person when they get married, who would dare to say anything? Thinking of what the two daughters had told her before, Mrs. Xue also stole a grateful glance at Nangong Mo, who was sitting next to Princess Changping. Nangong Mo smiled lightly and nodded. The breakdown of the marriage between the Yan Wangfu and the Xue family is already a foregone conclusion, but the Yan Wangfu can't make Xue Zhen, a fierce general, feel guilty because of this. Even if you can't get married, you can't form an enmity, right?

Everyone was seated, and the whole hall was full of guests and hosts. However, Mrs. Gao Yibo sat on the side a little lonely, and the noblewomen in Youzhou were not familiar with her, so they had nothing to say except to say hello. Although it is said that this is Mrs. Gao Yibo, the mother of the county lord. But in the end, they are also people from the south, and they have nothing to do with these people in Youzhou. After two days, they left, and their identities couldn't be troubled by them.

The identities of Princess Yan and Princess Changping naturally did not take the initiative to tell Mrs. Gao Yibo about family life. Mrs. Gao Yibo decided that Princess Yan treated her daughter coldly, and when she was in a bad mood, she naturally brought some out of her face. Who is Princess Yan? At a casual glance, I knew that she was sitting and thinking about some clubs, and immediately turned to Princess Changping and

Princess Ping and the generals' wives spoke. In this way, Mrs. Gao Yibo is even more cold and embarrassed here.

"Princess, the two sons are back."

Outside the door, the steward came to say goodbye with a happy face.

"Oh?" Princess Yan was also full of joy, and said with a smile: "Have you gone to see the prince?" Let them in. ”

The steward smiled: "The two sons have already met the prince, and they said that they came to meet the princess and the eldest princess." ”

"Let them in." Princess Changping smiled: "Didn't you see that the third sister-in-law was in a hurry?" Princess Yan glanced at Princess Changping angrily, and said, "I haven't seen it before, and I've heard about it, and you don't have to be much stronger than me when Jun'er gets married." Princess Changping admitted defeat and said with a smile: "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't tease the third sister-in-law." ”

The two sons stepped in side by side in a bright red groom's shirt, "The child greets his mother and has seen his aunt." ”

Princess Yan hurriedly called the two of them to get up, looked at the two tall sons, nodded with relief and smiled: "Okay, if you become married, you will be an adult, and you will have to do well in the future." ”

"Thank you mother." Xiao Qianwei said.

Xiao Qianjiong next to him pursed his lips and made a grimace at Princess Yan. Everyone present is also looking at the two sons, Xiao Qianjiong is still young, although his height is about the same as Xiao Qianwei, but his face is still too immature, and his expression is even more childlike. Xiao Qianwei is the best looking among the three sons of Yanwangfu, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he has a calm personality, and he looks like he is in his early twenties. With a handsome face and a tall figure, he is dressed in a jubilant red dress today, which is even more imposing. Many people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: The son of Yanwangfu is really outstanding, but it is the eldest lady of the Xue family, it is a pity that such a wishful husband is really a pity.

Thinking like this, many people couldn't help but go to see the eldest lady of the Xue family. saw the eldest girl of the Xue family sitting next to her mother, her expression was flat and generous. However, the second miss of the Xue family was staring wide-eyed, trying to stare back at everyone who looked at her eldest sister.

Xue Yunyun's heart was indeed calm, although the second son of Yanwangfu was indeed outstanding, but he was just an emotionless stranger. She asked herself that she was not a woman with extraordinary intelligence and extraordinary means, entering a place like Princess Yan, there was a sister-in-law who did not want to see her, and she was afraid that her future life might not be more pleasant than marrying an ordinary person. What's more, when it comes to being outstanding, in terms of appearance alone, I'm afraid that no one can compare to the husband of the Lord of Star City, Jun Wei, right? Seeing a handsome man like Wei Gongzi, Xue Yunyun didn't think that he would feel sorry and disappointed for Xiao Qianwei. It's just that it's always not so comfortable to be looked at like this.

Princess Yan also took Xue Yunyun's expression in her eyes, sighed secretly, and said to her son, "Okay, there is nothing to do with you here." Go to your father's side. It's time to worship in a moment. ”

"Yes, Princess. The child quits. The two got up, turned and walked out side by side.

Princess Yan smiled: "The bride is back, flawless, and I have to bother you to go over there to have a look." The little girls didn't go to sit with us, so let's go out and play. ”

Nangong Mo immediately got up and smiled: "Yes, uncle." "It just so happens that she's done a little bit of a job here. Raising his eyebrows at Xue Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to Mrs. Xue, Xue Xiaoxiao immediately pulled Xue Yunyun to stand up and said, "Mother, let's go out with the county lord." Madam Xue had the intention of keeping her eldest daughter, but thinking that if she was too cautious, it would seem that they couldn't let go, so she nodded and advised, "Don't be naughty with the county lord." ”

Xue Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and pulled her sister to stand beside Nangong Mo.

"Mother, I'll go with my cousin too." Chen stood up and said softly. Princess Yan glanced at her and said with a faint smile: "So many ladies are here, don't you be the master, don't you accompany you here, but you can't be naughty everywhere with Flawless?" ”

Chen was stunned, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried. The joy is that Princess Yan said this in front of so many people, and it was also to explain her identity as the princess of King Yan. She was so worried that she knew in her heart that the concubine was still guarding against her. Nodding, Chen said in a low voice, "Yes, concubine." ”

Nangong Mo smiled faintly and took a few girls out to see the bride.
