Chapter Sixty-Six: Man Counts Heaven
Before I could raise my voice, Yan Yi had already opened the curtain and walked in and vetoed loudly: "Absolutely not!" ”
Yan Xiaolian said loudly: "Why can't you do it?" I also want to contribute to the Yan family! ”
Yan Yi said: "Xiaolian, the family affairs are with me and your second brother, you just need to take good care of yourself." ”
Yan Xiaolian had red eyes, pouted and didn't speak, I saw that the atmosphere was not right, so I turned my head to the boss and said, "You go down first, I will find a way to deal with the protagonist's affairs." ”
The boss hurriedly said: "The prince is coming to see the play today, the girl must have an idea!" After saying that, he stomped his feet and turned around and left.
I stood up and comforted Yan Xiaolian softly: "Xiaolian, your eldest brother is also for your good, I don't want you to take risks, you must understand his hard work!" ”
Before Yan Xiaolian could speak, Yan Yi shouted, "You go home for me!" ”
Yan Xiaolian looked up at Yan Yi suddenly, her little face was full of grievances, she looked at me again, stopped arguing, and turned around.
I sighed, the imminent thing now is that Prince Cangnan is coming soon, and I have to find a protagonist to come out first. Thinking of this, I didn't have the time to comfort Yan Xiaolian, and I was busy going to the boss to discuss the change of role.
As soon as I decided on the change of roles, I saw the little guy come to report in a panic, saying that Prince Cangnan had arrived. Yan Yi's whole body shook violently, his face became solemn, I reached out to pat him, and gave him an encouraging look. After many days of preparation, now success or failure is here!
I immediately went back to the house, took out a suit of men's clothes and put them on, and since I flooded Akatsuki, I had gained some fame in the west of Yuexi. I don't want to be recognized by Prince Cangnan and miss the big thing of helping Yan Yi take revenge.
When I got dressed, Yan Yi and I, the owner of the theater, and everyone stood at the door, quietly waiting for Prince Cangnan. The owner of the theater was stunned for a moment when he saw me dressed in men's clothes, and I winked at him but didn't explain. The owner of the theater has always known that I am a person with ideas, and it is inconvenient to ask more.
Prince Cangnan's chariot stopped in front of the door, and two seventeen or eighteen-year-old maids immediately got out of the car. I bowed down with the crowd, and two women got out of the car to serve Prince Cangnan, and Prince Cangnan in gorgeous clothes stood in front of me.
Cangnan is one of the four kings of Yuexi, and its strength is not below any tribe. In the past few days, I have inquired about the origin of the Cangnan royal family in Cangnan. The surname of the Cangnan royal family is Meng, and the prince's name is Meng Chuhan.
Originally, Meng Chuhan's position as the prince was stable, but he didn't know that he killed an Anya Yu concubine halfway, and soon gave birth to a little prince for King Cangnan, plus King Cangnan was lustful, and he was very fortunate to be a new love and a little prince. So much so that rumors spread around, and the status of Princess Cangnan and Meng Chuhan was in jeopardy.
Meng Chuhan looked to be about twenty-five years old, and he was dressed in a white robe with a light black short coat underneath the robe. The feet of the robe were turned upside down and tucked into the white jade belt around his waist, and he was dressed in light brown leather boots on his feet.
The jet-black hair was combed in a uniform bun on the top of the head, nestled in a delicate white jade crown, and a pale green silk crown band hung from both sides of the jade crown, and a flowing knot was tied on the lower forehead.
Meng Chuhan said: "Get up!" Today, Prince Ben came to see the play. The owner of the theater was busy kowtowing to Meng Chuhan, leading the way in front, and said respectfully: "A quiet room has been prepared for the prince, and the troupes in the garden are already waiting for the prince."
I looked at Meng Chuhan, maybe I didn't notice it myself, at this time I looked at him like an eagle looking at its prey, cold and without a trace of emotion.
When Meng Chuhan walked past me, he probably sensed that I was looking at him unkindly. His eyes flashed coldly, and he swept at me, and I immediately bowed my head in obedience. Meng Chuhan asked, "Are you a drama in this garden?" ”
The boss of the theater hurriedly replied: "This scene of opera is this..."The boss looked at the men's clothes on my body, he turned to Meng Chuhan and said, "This Brother Yan arranged it." ”
The owner of the theater thought it was very good and helped me hide my identity as a woman. Meng Chuhan looked at me, stopped talking, and entered the garden surrounded by everyone.
The ancient Greek mythological tragedy "Io Casda" was adapted by me into the repertoire of the Han Dynasty, which was tailored for Meng Chuhan to test him. At this time, I sat down with my eyebrows lowered, but my eyes kept observing Meng Chuhan's expression.
The strings miss the voice, and the tragic place of the battlefield lingers with children's love, contradicting each other and reflecting each other. Although because the protagonist Shi Niang did not say goodbye, he found someone to replace him, but after all, such a drama is unheard of in this era.
The novel repertoire plot, coupled with the fact that the drama on the stage sang well, the eyes of the two maids standing on both sides of Meng Chuhan's head were a little red, and Meng Chuhan's expression was slightly stunned.
"The singing is very good, and the play is very good, but Prince Ben doesn't want this play to be repeated." When the owner of the theater heard this, the blood on his face immediately faded. He also counted on this play to make him rich, he had just made a name for himself in Cangnan, and now he was about to be banned.
Meng Chuhan looked at me, and I hurriedly got up and saluted: "I respectfully obey the prince's order." ”
Meng Chuhan nodded with a smile and waved his hand to let the owner of the theater step back. He looked at me carefully, nodded and praised: "What a seven-trick heart, but also brave and strategic..."
I bowed my head and calmly replied, "I don't understand what the prince means. ”
Meng Chuhan's eyes showed a cold light: "You deliberately arranged this play, didn't you just want to attract me?" Now that I'm here, tell me what your purpose is! ”
This play is indeed to attract him, and Meng Chuhan also understood the story of killing his father in the play, I took a deep breath and said slowly: "Does the prince know that your current situation is very bad?" Is there a danger of falling to the ground at any time? ”
Meng Chuhan's face changed, and the guards beside him had already drawn their knives and scolded me: "You dare to be presumptuous in front of the prince!" ”
I just sneered when I looked at the big blade, I felt Yan Yi's body next to me trembling slightly, and he naturally didn't want to see my head fall to the ground.
Meng Chuhan stared at me for a while, without his order, the guards would never have moved. After a long time, he said, "Give me all the retreat." ”
Everyone retreated, leaving only Meng Chuhan, me and Yan Yi. Cold sweat oozed from my palms unconsciously, and I clenched my hands into fists and hid them in my sleeves, although Meng Chuhan was aggressive at first, but since he was willing to retreat, he must have been interested in my words.
Sure enough, he opened his mouth and said, "Now you can tell me why I will fall to the ground." If you dare to pretend to be a ghost in front of me, I will make you die today! ”
I was not afraid of his threat, I sorted out my thoughts, and said lightly: "Now Concubine An Yayu gave birth to a little prince for King Cangnan, everyone knows, and An Yayu is the niece of Elder Cangnan, according to generation, this little prince is still the nephew of Elder Cangnan. ”
Meng Chuhan said, "Elder is my master. ”
I nodded: "Yes, if there is no little prince, Elder Cangnan will definitely do his best to the prince and support you with all his might, and you can rely on it in the future." But now that there is a little prince, I don't know if Prince Lu Dao thinks that the relationship between his nephew and grandson is close or the relationship between master and apprentice? ”
Meng Chuhan's body shook, as if he was shocked by my words, and he said, "Won't the master support me?" ”
I shook my head and said, "The most important thing for the prince at present is to obtain the promise of Elder Cangnan and let him fully support you, otherwise after the little prince inherits the throne in the future, the prince will have no place to stand!" ”
It is not uncommon for the Central Plains Dynasty to compete for the throne and kill each other like this. Not only in the Central Plains, but also in border places like the west of the country.
Baishui City was first inherited by Chu Anguo, Chu Jinmo took refuge in the Xiongnu to lead troops to attack, and Chu Anguo fled in a hurry and did not know where to go. There is only one great throne, and the victor can ascend to the throne. The loser will either be a rich idler who does not fight for power for the rest of his life, or he will only have a dead end.
Meng Chuhan grew up in the royal family, and he knows the danger too well, and now that the princess is old and decrepit and no longer favored, who knows if King Cangnan will listen to the pillow wind of the young and beautiful An Yayu and pass the throne to the little prince who is still in his infancy?
Meng Chuhan stared at me and said, "Why do you want to help me?" ”
I pulled Yan Yi to bow down to him: "My brother and I have long heard about the prince's demeanor, and we know that you are definitely not a thing in the pool, we are willing to be loyal to the prince, and we only want to be rich and noble in the future!" ”
Yan Yi was pulled by me, although he was a little reluctant to kneel down to the son of the enemy who killed his father, but he also understood that the overall situation was important, and he bowed down with my strength and did not struggle.
Meng Chuhan pondered for a moment, and stepped forward to help the two of us up: "You go back to the prince's mansion with me, and you will be on the same boat from now on!" ”
"Thank you, Prince!"
I have gained Meng Chuhan's trust, and the first step of the revenge plan has been successful!
Meng Chuhan said: "I've also watched the play, and it's time for me to go home." Pack your things, and come back with me. With that, Meng Chuhan took a step forward and walked out.
Yan Yi and I followed Meng Chuhan out of the quiet room, and when we left the garden, we passed by a small pond, which was the early autumn season, and the pond full of lotus flowers had already withered. The yellowish, dried willows filled the entire pool, and it looked like a fiasco.
At this time, a small person by the pool has his back to us, leaning on the water waves, slim and elegant. Meng Chuhan stared at her back for a long time, and then Fang asked in a low voice, "Who is this?" ”
I squinted and looked at the back, and couldn't help but be taken aback, after Yan Xiaolian was scolded by Yan Yi, she actually stood here in a daze.
Meng Chuhan sighed lightly: "A back figure makes people think about it, I want to see her appearance, but I am afraid of being disappointed, her appearance must not live up to her posture, this kind of nervous mood has not been seen for a long time!" ”
I looked at Yan Yi, and he was also pale at this time. originally thought that Yan Xiaolian would not be allowed to perform, and she would be fine if she was sent home in a few days, but she didn't know that her back actually attracted Meng Chuhan's attention!
