Chapter 42: Meeting
Xu Jinyu was stunned.
Concubine Ji Xian's birthday, of course, King Qin had to come. It makes sense that the king of Chu came to join in the fun.
But who is this General Chen?
If I remember correctly, among the young generals of the Great Yan Dynasty, it seems that the only one surnamed Chen is Chen Yuanzhao, the second son of Chen of the Anguo Mansion
Yesterday, Chen Yuanqing mentioned that Chen Yuanzhao had already returned to Beijing, could it be that Chen Yuanzhao arrived in the capital today to participate in the court meeting, and then followed the King of Qin and King Chu to Changle Palace? That's a coincidence!
Concubine Ji Xian was also quite surprised when she heard these three words of General Chen. He smiled and said, "Hurry up and invite them in." ”
A moment later, King Qin and his entourage entered the main hall.
King Qin was dressed in court clothes, with a lofty instrument and an extraordinary bearing.
Behind King Qin was a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old. The boy was thin, delicate and weak, with a sickly fair skin and a smile on his face.
This young man is none other than Murong Yun, the king of Chu.
I heard that when Queen Ye was pregnant with King Chu for seven months, she had a fetal gas and gave birth to King Chu early.
The king of Chu was born with some deficiencies, he was weak and sickly since he was a child, he had a gentle and easy-going temperament, and he was the most filial and considerate. The emperor also favored King Chu very much.
However, Xu Jinyu did not dare to underestimate this low-key King of Chu. How could a person who could defeat the King of Qin and cross the King of Wei to ascend the throne as the emperor, how could he be a gentle and harmless pure young man?
In the previous life, after the king of Chu sat on the throne, he immediately turned his face ruthlessly, and poisoned Chen Yuanzhao, who loyally followed him, and the Anguo Mansion was beheaded. It can be seen that the king of Chu is ruthless
In her previous life, she only knew the King of Chu and his person, but she didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it with her own eyes in this life!
Xu Jinyu raised his eyes and glanced at the King of Chu, and then his gaze fell on the young man beside the King of Chu
The young man was about twenty years old and wore a dark military general's uniform. Tall and tall. The sword eyebrows are in the sideburns, the dark eyes are condensed, the nose is thin and the lips are thin, and the face is handsome and almost perfect.
Ji Ze, who is as handsome as jade, is also slightly inferior in front of this man.
The only flaw was that the young man's expression was cold, and his eyes were sharp, like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed, exuding a compelling light. If you look at it more, you will feel a chill in your heart.
The second son of the Anguo Mansion, the commander of the Divine Guard, and the youngest and most courageous general of the Great Yan Dynasty!
Chen Yuanzhao!
The scene of the confrontation many years ago suddenly jumped into my heart.
At that time, Chen Yuanzhao already had the reputation of the first military general of Dayan. He was the commander of the palace and led 30,000 forbidden troops to guard the palace. Holding heavy troops, he has been in a high position for a long time, and he has a compelling momentum.
She is a weak woman, she was not intimidated by Chen Yuanzhao's aggressiveness, and even ridiculed each other angrily, now that she thinks about it, she really pinched a cold sweat for herself back then!
At this time, Chen Yuanzhao was younger than back then. But that indifference and sharpness are not inferior at all. Standing beside the two princes, they are still dazzling, and no one can ignore them.
Probably because she had been watching for a long time, Chen Yuanzhao seemed to notice it, and his eyes suddenly looked over.
Through the shadows, those cold eyes captured her accurately.
Eye to eye!
In a short moment, a cold light seemed to flash in his eyes.
Xu Jinyu was startled, and reflexively lowered her head, avoiding those palpitating eyes. Soon, I was secretly annoyed in my heart.
What is there to be afraid of. All the qiē in the previous life has become a thing of the past. At this time, Chen Yuanzhao didn't know who she was at all, and it was impossible for him to have any prejudice against her.
Yes, she doesn't have to be afraid!
Xu Jinyu secretly cheered herself up, and quickly raised her head again.
Chen Yuanzhao had already looked away.
Xu Jinyu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and a gentle smile resurfaced on her lips
"Erchen has seen his mother!" King Qin stepped forward with a smile and clasped his fists: "Today coincides with the Great Dynasty Meeting, and the sons can only wait for the dispersal of the court to come, don't be angry with the concubine." ”
Even though Concubine Ji Xian was a little unhappy in her heart, she had already disappeared at this time: "You put state affairs first, it's too late for me to be happy in my heart, how can I blame you." ”
King Qin smiled: "It's good that the concubine is not angry. Erchen also specially prepared a gift for his mother, which was Erchen's heart, and asked his mother to accept it with a smile. ”
As soon as the words fell, an attendant respectfully stepped forward with a brocade box.
The brocade box is made of high-quality nanmu and is exquisitely carved. When I opened the brocade box, it was a hand-copied Buddhist scripture.
"The mother concubine believed in Buddhism on weekdays and often recited Buddhist scriptures. This Buddhist scripture was copied by the sons themselves, and the words are larger than ordinary Buddhist scriptures, and the mother concubine must have saved a lot of effort. King Qin's voice sounded in the main hall.
Concubine Ji Xian's eyes were red with emotion: "You are busy with household errands on weekdays, and you often can't be idle at night, where do you have time to copy Buddhist scriptures." I'm not afraid of breaking my body. ”
All the concubines suddenly spoke one after another: "His Royal Highness King Qin's filial piety is really touching. ”
"Concubine Xian Niangniang is really blessed, An Ning Gong's body is well-behaved, and His Royal Highness King Qin is so filial."
"Yes, the concubine is really envious of the virtuous concubine!"
In the midst of the praise, King Qin's handsome and kind face became more and more approachable
Sure enough, everyone is a master of acting! Xu Jinyu sighed in her heart.
King Qin's ambitions were well hidden. In the previous life, there was a shocking fraud case in Jiangnan, and the crown prince led the emperor to personally investigate the matter, and the king of Qin also accompanied him. As a result, not long after arriving in Jiangnan, the crown prince was assassinated by assassins. At that time, King Qin was also present.
There were many assassins, and their skills were extraordinary, and the king of Qin desperately protected the prince and blocked an arrow for the prince, hurting his heart and lungs. That night, the crown prince was killed at the hands of the assassins, and the king of Qin was seriously wounded.
The emperor was shocked to hear the bad news and fainted on the spot in the Jinluan Palace.
No one would have thought that this scene of assassination was directed and acted by King Qin.
A few years later, she learned the secret story of the matter from Xu Zheng. Those highly skilled dead soldiers were secretly trained by Ji Ze. The letter that Xu Zheng told her to hide is ironclad evidence that Ji Ze and King Qin colluded to assassinate the crown prince.
After the death of the crown prince, the king of Qin became the best candidate for the prince. It's a pity that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind. Just when King Qin was proud, the truth about the assassination of the crown prince was revealed by King Wei.
The emperor was furious, and Queen Ye hated King Qin even more. King Qin and his henchmen naturally did not end well. Xu Zheng was also implicated by the King of Qin, and his head was different
The past is too heavy and painful, so painful that people don't want to think about it again.
Xu Jinyu pressed the surging emotions in her heart.
At this time, King Chu also stepped forward with a smile: "Today is Concubine Xian's birthday, and I cheekily followed the third brother to ask for lunch." However, the congratulatory gift I prepared was definitely not as good as the third brother, and the mother reluctantly accepted it. ”
Concubine Ji Xian was amused: "The king of Chu is willing to come to Changle Palace in person, and the palace is very happy in his heart, and he needs to prepare any congratulatory gifts." ”
The crown prince King Wei and Princess An Le were not present, and the King of Chu was willing to come, which had already given Concubine Ji Xian enough face
In the end, Concubine Ji Xian's eyes fell on Chen Yuanzhao, and she said with a smile: "I didn't expect General Chen to come to Changle Palace today, which really surprised the palace." ”
Chen Yuanzhao is the aunt and nephew of Empress Ye's in-laws, and he often entered the palace with the Duchess of Anguo Ye when he was young, and he is very familiar with several princes. Concubine Ji Xian can be regarded as watching Chen Yuanzhao grow up, and she is no stranger to him.
However, Chen Yuanzhao has had a cold temperament and does not like to talk since he was a child, and only likes to practice martial arts. After entering the barracks at the age of ten, he became a little more murderous and condensed. Now that even Concubine Ji Xian saw it, she couldn't help but be secretly awe-inspiring, and she couldn't help but be a little polite when she spoke.
Chen Yuanzhao tugged at the corners of his lips and replied lightly: "The minister originally planned to go to Yanfu Palace with His Royal Highness the King of Chu to greet the queen's mother, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu insisted on coming to Changle Palace, and the minister had to follow. ”
Concubine Ji Xian: ""
That's too straightforward! An expression of "it will be the King of Chu who will come with it".
Concubine Ji Xian has been in the palace for many years, of course, there is no shortage of city mansions, and she does not show any strangeness on her face, and said with a smile: "Anyway, General Chen is willing to come to celebrate the birthday of this palace, and this palace is very happy in my heart." At noon today, I stayed in Changle Palace for lunch and then left. ”
As he spoke, he told King Qin: "There are so many people here today, and the female relatives will greet you in person from the palace, and the male guests will all be handed over to you." ”
King Qin responded with a smile: "Don't worry, concubine, your sons will definitely greet a few of them." After a pause, he said to Chen Yuanzhao with a smile: "Zixi, you have been away from Beijing for Shandong for so long, and we haven't seen each other for more than a year. It's rare to get together today, but you have to have a good drink, and you won't go home if you don't get drunk! ”
Chen Yuanzhao answered yes, and then never said the third sentence.
Sure enough, as rumored, handsome, indifferent, and unapproachable.
The concubines were secretly thinking in their hearts, and at the same time quietly glanced at Chen Yuanzhao.
The emperor is getting older and basically does not set foot in the back ~ palace, staying in the palace all day long, long days are empty and boring, and his eyes are full of palace maids except for eunuchs. It is rare to see such a handsome young man. Although he was cold and silent, his face was so handsome.
Ji Ze has excellent appearance, King Qin is handsome and extraordinary, and the young Xu Zheng is handsome and unparalleled, even the weak King of Chu is also a handsome young man. But in front of Chen Yuanzhao, they were all a little overshadowed.
Xu Jinyu also glanced at Chen Yuanzhao quietly. I saw that Chen Yuanzhao didn't squint, and didn't pay attention to her storage.
The previous glimpse of horror never seemed to have happened.
Xu Jinyu was finally completely relieved. Obviously, she was overthinking just now. Chen Yuanzhao didn't look at her at all
In the main hall of Changle Palace, there is an endless stream of laughter and laughter, which is quite lively.
However, this qiē has nothing to do with Xu Jinyu. Even Ji Yu and Ji Yu stayed by Xiao Zou's side honestly, so naturally she didn't have the right to intervene.
After standing for a long time, I finally stayed up until lunchtime.
Finally able to sit down and rest, Xu Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the dining room of Changle Palace with Xiao Zou and the others.
The moment she turned around, two cold eyes quickly swept over her slender figure
