Chapter 256
Fu Yuchen thought for a while, and then explained to Jin Weihuan: "Find a way to notify the families of those ministers who are kneeling outside the palace." β
The ministers kneeling outside the palace had stopped crying, and watched the eunuchs press Cao Xuanjing into the open space, and the forbidden army raised their bamboo canes and beat them one by one, making a "poof" sound.
Cao Xuanjing was still struggling before, but soon she didn't move and lost her voice.
Shui Han and Yuan Shenyu stood there, watching the reactions of the ministers. Emperor Qingping has already said that no matter who it is, as long as he dares to stand up, he will die with a rod.
Cao Xuanjing had long been silent.
Yuan Shenyu walked over, touched the tip of Cao Xuanjing's nose, and then reported to Shui Han: "General Yu, Cao Sinchen is dead!" β
His voice was neither loud nor small, just enough for the kneeling crowd below to hear.
Shui Han didn't speak, and the dark cat's eyes looked at these people coldly, waiting for the next person to jump out by himself.
There was silence all around.
Everyone's eyes looked at Lin Zhongcai, a member of the Zhongshu House who was kneeling in the middle.
Lin Zhongcai lowered his head, his face turned pale with fright, and his whole body trembled.
Shui Han looked at Lin Zhongcai, and his cat's eyes narrowed.
Lin Zhongcai has not moved, and the ministers have to look away in disappointment.
The ministers did not know how to step down, when a green silk carriage approached from afar, followed by many carriages rushing over.
The silk carriage that had entered the square first stopped, and a crying female voice came through: "My lordβ"
Shui Han, Yuan Shenyu and Su Yan stood there, watching their family members rush in and watch the crowd gradually disperse.
They looked at each other, leaving Yuan Shenyu to take care of the aftermath, and Shui Han and Su Yan went back to recover their lives together.
Xu Cancan didn't know anything about the outside, she was bathing Fu Xi and Fu Quan with the eldest princess Yuming in the bathroom of the west side hall of Fuyun Palace.
Compared with Fu Rui when he was a child, Fu Xi and Fu Quan are much thinner, but their bodies are still relatively strong.
Although there are many people waiting, Xu Cancan still wants to take care of his children with his own hands.
Hongfu supported Fu Quan with her hand, Princess Yuming supported Fu Xi with her hand, Xu Cancan coated Fu Xi and Fu Quan with fragrant pancreas all over her body, and rubbed it into foam, she was a little tired, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead, so she had to hand over the rest of the work to the nurse and the waiting female officials and palace maids, and watched by herself.
The eldest princess of Yuming saw that she was tired, so she persuaded: "Queen Mother, you might as well go back to the main hall of Fuyun Hall to rest first, there are concubines here, and there are red and gray Hui to look at it!" β
Xu Cancan saw that there were people in the bathroom, and because he was a little restrained in them, he was afraid that this would not be conducive to the care of Fu Xi and Fu Quan, so he confessed to the red and gray wisdom: "Be optimistic about the second prince and the third princess!" β
Red Breeze Gray Hui hurriedly curtsied: "The slave obeys." β
Seeing that the queen mother was still narcissistic, she smiled and said: "Queen mother, don't you worry about the slave and the maid, don't you worry about the eldest princess?" β
Xu Cancan, who said this, smiled and left with the people who were with her.
Mama Dong came to report that there were many orders to hand over signs to see Queen Xu today.
Xu Cancan listened, and just asked, "Is there anything wrong with them coming to see me?" β
Mama Dong glanced at Biyun.
Biyun stepped forward and told him what happened outside the gate of Miyagi today, and finally said: "I'm afraid that these ladies are coming to you to dredge up and plead, and they probably want to use your power to influence Your Majesty." β
Xu Cancan's eyes looked at the crystal bead curtain hanging on the door of the hall, and said for a while: "Are the ancestors right?" If it is right, why has Daliang been bullied by neighboring countries for more than 200 years, and all countries have to come to take a bite? Closed to the rest of the country? Abolish the covenant with Dongyi, which was obviously more beneficial to the Great Liang? Are these people's heads squeezed by the door? Missing! β
Biyun replied "yes" and looked at Mama Dong.
Mama Dong saluted respectfully and said, "The old slave respectfully obeys the queen's decree. β
Another day passed, and Cui handed over the sign to wait.
Xu Cancan was worried that she was also interceding for those old-fashioned ministers, and she wanted to stay in sight, but she was afraid of wiping her cousin's face, so she thought for a moment and said, "Come in!" β
When Cui's came in to salute, Xu Cancan looked at her and saw that she was full of gorgeous beaded dresses and delicate makeup on her face, but her expression looked sad.
Xu Cancan smiled and ordered Hongyuan to lead Cui's to sit on the circle chair on the west side of him, waiting for Cui's to explain his intentions.
After Cui Shi sat down, he first praised the chair and cushion on the circle chair: "It's made of Yunjin and Huoyun cotton, right?" So soft and soft! β
Xu Cancan smiled, and Biqing's big eyes glanced at the assorted fruits on the kang table next to him.
Biyun, who was standing on the side, hurriedly handed her the silver fork.
Because Cui's is not an outsider, Xu Cancan leaned on the pillow and ate fruit from time to time.
Cui's small table also had a crystal plate of cut fruit on the small table, and Cui took a look and saw that it was not a common fruit in the north, but a large blueberry, a large cherry, peeled lychee and jackfruit and other rare fruits.
She forked a blueberry with a silver fork and ate it, feeling sweet and delicious, she smiled and said: "Now that Nanyue has become a subject country of our Daliang, it seems that there are a lot of benefits, the blueberries of our Daliang are the size of soybean grains, how can they be so big?" There are also cherries, our cherries are all small cherries, how could there be such a big cherry on the market before? Not to mention this Rausch jackfruit, it's so sweet, it used to be very rare in Bianjing, but now it is available in general fruit shops, which shows the benefits of His Majesty's opening up of trade! β
Xu Cancan was happy to hear this, so he said: "This is all mutually beneficial, for example, our apples in the north, as well as our porcelain and silk here, are all shipped to South Vietnam to sell!" "She has a lot of silk business and porcelain business under her name, which is really sold to South Vietnam, Xu Cancan expects to take stock in June next year, and her income will definitely exceed 1.5 million taels of silver.
Cui's flattered Xu Cancan for a long time, ate fruits and snacks together, and tasted ginger tea from Dongyi.
Xu Cancan then asked her, "Why are you bothered today?" "When Cui first came in, he was really full of worries.
Seeing that Empress Xu asked, Cui Shi sighed and said, "The concubine really has something on her mind and wants to discuss it with the queen." β
She looked up at Xu Cancan and said, "I can't discuss this matter with my mother-in-law, and I can't discuss it with my mother's sisters, so I can only come to trouble you." β
Xu Cancan restrained his smile, looked at her seriously, and said, "Say it." "If she can, she's willing to help.
Cui Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Niangniang, the concubine has not given birth to a boy so far. β
Xu Cancan: "...... You're still young, what's the hurry! "Cui Shi is a little older than her, and she is only in her twenties, what is the hurry?
Cui Shi sighed again: "But my mother-in-law is in a hurry, and the people in my concubine's family are also a little anxious...... Since the concubine had an eldest sister, she has not moved, and she has used a lot of home remedies and taken a lot of medicine, but it is useless. Now the mother-in-law has made it clear that she wants to take a concubine for the prime minister......"
There were already tears in her eyes.
"I'm only twenty years old, how can I be sure that I can't conceive?" Xu Cancan said angrily, "What did the eldest brother say?" β
Cui Shi wiped away his tears and said: "The concubine didn't dare to mention this matter to the minister, the mother-in-law didn't mention it, and the concubine didn't know." β
Xu Cancan thought for a while and said, "You go and ask the eldest brother what he thinks, and the eldest brother should understand the matter." "Anyone with a bit of a brain knows that if the wife can give birth, the eldest son still has to let the wife give birth, otherwise everything in the family will be messed up. She felt that Xu Yipeng was a very thoughtful person, and she would definitely not follow the eldest lady to coax.
Cui Shidun has a feeling of being open, she is a fan of the monarch, she only knows that she is worried that her mother-in-law will come forward to take a concubine for her husband, but she has not asked her father-in-law's opinion!
Thinking of her mother-in-law, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "Since my mother-in-law turned forty-five years old, I don't know what's going on, and it's getting weirder and weirder day by day." β
Xu Cancan thought to himself: Auntie won't be menopause, right?
Thinking of menopause, she couldn't help but shudder. Some people have a peaceful menopause, but some people become manic when they reach menopause.
Xu Cancan thought for a while and said, "Since it's not easy to get along, it's better not to go around except for the morning and dusk." "In this era, you can't break up. However, Cui's is not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch, so it should be no problem.
Cui has never been a weak person in the house fight, she just wants to find someone to talk to.
After Cui's left, Xu Cancan thought of his younger brother Xu Yichun from his elder brother Xu Yipeng - Xu Yichun often followed Xu Yipeng to study and learn to deal with general affairs!
August is approaching in a blink of an eye, the date of the township test is approaching, and she has to prepare to send Xu Yichun to Wanzhou to participate in the township test!
Thinking of this, Xu Cancan got up and walked around the main hall thinking about his thoughts.
Giving Xu Yichun a title like a marquis and duke is just a matter of words for Xu Cancan, but Xu Yichun plans to enter the official career, if you want to enter the official career, you must take the township test step by step, and you will be admitted to the exam, so as not to be looked down upon.
Xu Cancan stopped thinking in his heart, and then instructed Biyun: "Go to the imperial study to see if Your Majesty is free, if you are free, say that I will invite Your Majesty to come over." β
Biyun replied "yes" and retreated.
Fu Yuchen used violence to promote the implementation of the alliance with Dongyi, and he was quite happy in his heart, and he was taking Fu Gui and Yuming to practice boxing with Shui Han - he and Shui Han fought, and Fu Gui and Yuming fought.
Although the water cold repeatedly retreated, Fu Yuchen still sweated in the heat.
Fu Guiyu saw that Emperor Qingping had stopped, so he stopped and waited for Emperor Qingping with Shui Han.
Fu Yuchen didn't care much about taking off the black power suit on his body and threw it on the ground, leaving only black trousers on his body, picked up the white robe on the hanger, and prepared to put it on and go back to the inner courtyard to take a bath.
Yuming and Shui Han were ready to fight for a while, so they stood aside together.
Yuming looked at Emperor Qingping's thin but sturdy waist and said, "Your Majesty, you are much stronger than before!" β
Shui Han nodded slowly - His Majesty has insisted on practicing boxing in the past two years, and he is indeed much stronger than before, although he is still a slender figure, but he is very strong.
Fu Yuchen was dressing with his back to everyone, and his vanity was greatly satisfied when he heard this, and he thought: Go back in a while, let Xu Cancan take a good look, and see if she still says that I am weak!
As soon as Biyun and the palace maid came out of Kunning Palace, they met Emperor Qingping, who came back halfway, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty, the queen is looking for you!" β
Fu Yuchen nodded expressionlessly, but involuntarily quickened his pace.
Xu Cancan came out early.
She stood under the porch and curtsied with a smile: "Your Majesty is back!" β
Fu Yuchen saw her wearing a golden phoenix crown and a big red sleeved shirt coming out to greet her, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart-Xu Cancan and others who didn't wear the queen's dress or regular clothes were too cumbersome...... However, he and Xu Cancan haven't done it in a dress yet, just once......
He has just turned twenty years old this year, which is the age of blood and strength, and he has just started boxing, and his energy is full of nowhere to vent, so he has a bit of a night and night singing, Xu Cancan is now a little avoiding him!
Fu Yuchen strode over with long legs, and took Xu Cancan's hand: "Something urgent?" β
Xu Cancan smiled: "It's okay!" β
She leaned over Fu Yuchen and sniffed it, and smiled: "Practicing boxing again?" Let's go take a shower! "Even if it's a beautiful man, it doesn't smell good when he sweats!
Fu Yuchen said "um", but took her hand and entered the main hall together.
The grandmothers and female officials waiting in the main hall originally came out with Empress Xu to greet Emperor Qingping, but when they saw Emperor Qingping entering with Empress Xu's hand, they all took a step back and refused to follow up.
Only the red fern seemed to be distracted, and she was about to follow up when she raised her foot, but was dragged by Suzaku.
The expression on Suzaku's face was faint, and he just looked at the red fern like that.
Only then did Hong Yuan realize that he had no eyes, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he hurriedly lowered his head and took a step back.
Suzaku didn't speak again, remembering the abnormality of the red fern during this time, and began to pay attention to the red fern.
When Fu Yuchen was taking a bath, Xu Cancan stood aside and admired it with great interest, and said: "Achen, your figure is getting better and better, it's just that you are dressed and thin, and you want to pinch it!" She really wanted to pinch Fu Yuchen's chest muscles and abdominal muscles that were connected at some point......
Fu Yuchen's heart was happy, but his face was still calm, and he said slowly: "If you want to pinch it, pinch it!" β
Xu Cancan's "......" Fu Yuchen, who has always been taciturn, will also laugh?
She really walked over and pinched Fu Yuchen's body, and Fu Yuchen immediately reacted.
Fu Yuchen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at her deeply.
Xu Cancan was startled-Fu Yuchen was endless last night, and she was still swollen underneath-hurriedly retreated, and sneered: "Achen, I really have something to discuss with you!" β
Fu Yuchen took the fragrant pancreas and smeared it on his body, and said, "Say it." "As for Xu Cancan's request, as long as it is not particularly excessive, he will never object.
Xu Cancan came over with a cup of honey water, fed Fu Yuchen one bite at a time, and then said: "Yichun is going to leave for Wanzhou to participate in the township test the day after tomorrow, and my father is busy teaching medical skills in Xinghua Camp, so I wonder who will follow him to take care of him!" β
Fu Yuchen glanced at her and said, "It's already arranged." "These things still have to wait for Xu Cancan to worry about? He had already arranged it.
Xu Cancan said happily: "Really? β
Seeing that Fu Yuchen's eyes were wrong, she leaned over with a flattering face, kissed Fu Yuchen lightly on the lip a few times, and said coquettishly: "It's still my Achen who loves me the most......"
She rubbed with Fu Yuchen for a long time, and then asked, "Achen, who did you send?" β
Fu Yuchen stopped selling Guanzi and said, "Xu Yipeng and Chen Su." β
Xu Cancan was a little strange: "Are the two of them idle?" "Xu Yipeng is now the new secretary of Dali Temple, and Chen Su is also the general of Zhengsipin Guangwei, can they have spare time to accompany Yichun to Wanzhou to participate in the township test?
She looked at Fu Yuchen and saw that he didn't seem to want to say more, so she didn't ask anymore - what Fu Yuchen didn't want to say, no one could ask from him, even Xu Cancan couldn't ask.
On August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the long-dormant Duchess of Dingguo, Yuan, came to the new palace to hand over the sign and wait to see her.
After listening to Mama Dong's report, Xu Cancan couldn't help but look at Fu Yuchen, who had just returned from the dispersal of the dynasty.
Fu Yuchen was sitting on the brocade couch drinking tea with Xu Cancan, and when he heard the words, he said, "Let her come in!" β
The Yuan family took a group of grandmothers and maids into Kunning Palace with Mama Dong.
Those grandmothers and maids were all left under the corridor of the Fuyun Palace, and she herself entered the Fuyun Hall with the female officials.
After entering, the Yuan family looked at the brocade couch in front of Queen Xu where she often sat with a smile, and was ready to salute Queen Xu, but when she raised her eyes, she saw a handsome and beautiful young man sitting beside Queen Xu, and she couldn't help but take another look - her skin was as white as jade, her eyebrows were black, her phoenix eyes and red lips were really a rare beautiful boy!
After lowering his eyes, Yuan thought of the silk robe that only emperors could wear on the beautiful boy, and suddenly understood: This is his son!
She raised her eyes to look at Fu Yuchen, wanting to squeeze out some tears, but the tears that came and went at the critical moment refused to cooperate, no matter how she couldn't squeeze them out, she had to look at Fu Yuchen sadly with an excited look.
Fu Yuchen looked at her calmly.
The Yuan clan didn't get the response he wanted, so he had to curtsia and salute: "The concubine sees Your Majesty and the Empress." β
She was very respectful and kind to Fu Yuchen, but it was only respectful and cordial.
After a while, Fu Yuchen left.
He finally met his biological mother, but it was better not to see him!
Back in the imperial study, Fu Yuchen instructed Shui Han: "The Yuan family is afraid of action recently, let people watch it carefully, and don't show their tracks." β
Shui Han replied "yes".
Xu Cancan has been looking at the Yuan family. She felt very strange, seeing her son who she hadn't seen for nearly twenty years, the Yuan family had to be at least a little excited, right? But no. As soon as Fu Yuchen left, the excited look on her face disappeared instantly, and she still maintained her demeanor perfectly, smiling and talking to Xu Cancan, without a trace of emotional fluctuations.
After the Yuan family left, Xu Cancan entered the bedroom, looked at Fu Rui, Fu Xi and Fu Quan who were lying side by side in her and Fu Yuchen's bed for a nap, and thought: Is it possible that if you don't raise it, you will have no feelings?
Thinking of this, she sighed, feeling that Fu Yuchen was really pitiful, her grandmother seized every opportunity to put him to death, and her biological mother didn't care about him like a passerby...... Xu Cancan was determined to treat Fu Yuchen better in the future.
Time flies, and a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
When the Double Ninth Festival arrived, the Duchess of Dingguo, Yuan, handed over the sign and waited for the meeting.
When Mama Dong reported to Empress Xu, Emperor Fu Yuchen of Qingping was changing clothes in the bedroom, and immediately walked out, looked at Xu Cancan and said, "See you tomorrow." β
Xu Cancan didn't want to see the Yuan family today, so he gave Mama Dong a look, and Mama Dong hurriedly retreated.
At the mention of the Yuan family, Fu Yuchen was a little upset, so he called Xu Cancan to go for a walk in the back garden of Kunning Palace together.
Xu Cancan saw that he had something on his mind, so he didn't say much, and quietly accompanied Fu Yuchen to the back garden.
The couple sat down in a gazebo by the lake.
Xu Cancan's retreat from the person who followed, wrapped his arms around Fu Yuchen's thin waist, put his face on Fu Yuchen's chest, and comforted him wordlessly.
The cold autumn wind blew from the surface of the lake, making the bamboo leaves behind them rustle.
After a long time, Fu Yuchen said slowly: "I'm afraid the Yuan clan is about to go." "The negotiations between the Liao delegation and Daliang on the border of Liaozhou are about to end, and the Liao State has not taken advantage, the Yuan clan will act sooner or later, and he has already laid out a net.
Xu Cancan was stunned, and then realized that what Fu Yuchen said about "about to go" means "about to die".
Thinking of the woman who smiled gently but confidently, she couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart, in short, it was complicated.
The author has something to say: feel a little tired, try to code the second more.
