Chapter 101: Rumors
The expression on Situ Yu's face changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "The princess is so late and she doesn't rest, is there anything to find this king?" ”
Xi Ruoya's face was slightly stiff, she didn't expect him to ask such a question, but then she smiled: "Have you forgotten that the prince is now husband and wife, don't husband and wife have to have something to do to see each other?" She didn't know why this man had changed so much, and for a few days, she thought that there was no way to go on like this, and she should know the reason for it.
Feng Xun in the dark breathed a sigh of relief, well, the prince is still the prince!
Situ Yu raised his eyes and looked at the courtyard of Hanhui Pavilion a few steps ahead, he paused and said in an extremely cold tone: "Is the princess questioning this king?" ”
Such coldness made Xi Ruoya tremble: "Ruoya doesn't dare, Ruoya just wants to know where she is wrong?" "Anyway, she is also the only concubine of the Duchy Mansion of Tangtang Town, the county lord of the emperor, and she has no pride in front of him, but she can't even get a look of pity.
Situ Yu turned around slowly, his cold gaze fell on the woman with a gorgeous face in front of him, and gradually there were complicated emotions in his eyes.
"The princess should go back and rest early, and if you really can't sleep, let someone accompany you to the garden!" This king still has a lot of things to deal with, so I won't accompany him! ”
Is it wrong? The mistake is that it shouldn't be Xi Bochang's daughter, they are destined to be enemies, when they saw that she was interested in themselves, they took advantage of the situation to capture her heart, and all this is just for revenge.
"Lord Wang!" She stepped forward to block his way, and her emotions began to get out of control, "In order to marry you, Ruoya did not hesitate to destroy her reputation and break with her father!" But what about you? If you hate me, why did you ask for it in the first place? Princess Chen is not Xi Ruoya and will not marry, hahaha...... Not only have you deceived me, but you have deceived all the people of the world! Do you know? How infatuated you were at the beginning, how ridiculous it is now! Tears burst out of her eyes, and her excited appearance completely subverted her usual dignified and noble image.
"Princess, please respect yourself!" Situ Yu's face was gloomy,
"Self-respect? Hahaha! I don't even care about the name, what am I afraid of? She smiled sadly and laughed at herself: "'Lord Yuanxi', newlywed and out of favor, in order to regain her husband's love, she is entangled and crying in the palace, like a shrew, hahaha......" She looked up to the sky and laughed, as if she wanted to use this way to vent the grievances in her heart: "Do I care? Even if you care, it's because of you! Her voice became more and more hysterical, and she rushed forward and grabbed his hand: "Situ Yu, tell me, what is wrong with me, why do you treat me like this, why?" ”
Situ Yu looked at her coldly, and finally his eyebrows and eyes were dyed with anger: "Go back and ask your father, what did he do?" With a wave of his hand: "Fengxun, send the princess back!" After speaking, he left without looking back, letting Xi Ruoya sit on the ground.
The next day, the rumors about Princess Chen's loss of honor did not come out, but the rumors of Concubine Lin's ugly face and short temper spread at a wind-like speed in the royal palace's subordinate circles.
said that she was unhappy with the king because she was ugly, and she lost her temper with the prince because of love, and called the prince's name loudly.
When people get together when they are idle, they will always make fun of this Concubine Lin. This kind of thing was touched by Ling Shuang several times, if it weren't for Mu Yu repeatedly telling her to keep a low profile, she would have beaten them to their knees and begged for mercy.
Xi Ruoya returned to the Zhenguo Mansion under the banner of sending her mother home, saying that she would go back for a night, but she didn't come back after leaving for several days, which caused people to speculate. The next day, there were rumors that because Princess Chen was unwell, King Chen specially invited Mr. Feng Shui to divination, saying that the place where King Chen's mansion was built was too angry, and it was afraid that it would be bad for the fetus in the princess's womb. Therefore, King Chen deliberately asked the princess to go back to the house to live, and then take her back after asking the master to resolve it.
And in the capital, because of King Yi's wedding, it was lively for a few days. In addition to the outstanding style of King Yi, the most talked-about is Princess Yi's golden silk phoenix bird robe, the gold silk is dazzling, the phoenix bird is fresh, and its cutting and embroidery work is a must, attracting countless women to be married to inquire about its origin, but it is a gift from a mysterious friend of Princess Yi, and there is nowhere to buy. When everyone was disappointed, they praised the robe to the sky.
Since the crown prince was in charge of the country, the forces supporting the prince have been very active, and the officials of various ministries in the court and the central government have also been greatly adjusted, except for a few neutral old ministers who have not changed, many positions have been replaced by the prince's people. It is rumored that if the emperor drives the crane to the west, the crown prince will ascend the throne smoothly, then the Chenwang Mansion will inevitably become the first target to be eradicated.
When Ling Shuang told these rumors to Mu Yu, she was leaning on a chair and eating grapes under the tall pentagonal maple tree in the courtyard.
"Miss, have you ever thought about what if the crown prince ascends the throne and really attacks the Chenwang Mansion? At that time, he was the king, the prince was a minister, the king wanted the minister to die, and the minister had to die, but if the prince dealt with him again, it would be a rebellion, if that is the case, let's not talk about checking the life experience, I am afraid that it is difficult to protect my life, I think I have to think of a perfect way to leave a way back! ”
Mu Yu looked at her serious analysis, and wanted to laugh, this girl really has a lot of things in her head. Although what she said was not unreasonable, she didn't know why, she just believed that Situ Yu would not lose.
Ling Shuang saw her looking at herself with a smile, and her heart was a little weak: "Miss, is Shuang'er not right?" ”
"No, you're right! But we and Chenwangfu are already grasshoppers on a rope, and the prince will not let me go no matter what. However, I don't think Situ Yu is so easy to deal with, let's be calm and wait and see what happens! Compared with the crown prince, Situ Yu is obviously more suitable for that position, which may also be due to his inner desire!
After being forcibly kissed by him that day, she found that she was not as annoyed with him as she imagined, but every time she thought about it, her heart would beat hard.
Ling Shuang nodded: "That's true, so we all hope that the final winner is King Chen." "Anyway, they are now attached to the Chenwang Mansion, and she still understands the truth that "there are eggs under the nest".
Probably thinking that it was too heavy to talk about such a topic, Ling Shuang looked at the somewhat stunned pastoral rumor and changed the topic: "Miss, that wedding robe was made for you by Aunt Qi and their sisters, and it is a pity that you gave it away like this!" Ling Shuang strung a peeled grape with a golden needle and handed it to Mu Yu.
"Don't say that I can't wear it if I hurt my leg, but I don't get hurt, where can I wear that big red wedding robe as a concubine. Since it took so much effort to do it, it would be a pity not to use it there, it is better to let the right person show his beauty to everyone, and not bury everyone's craftsmanship. "Such a dazzling wedding robe must be dazzling on her, is he also amazed?
She looked at the beautiful pot of orchids on the trellis not far away, and imagined the scene at that time.
Ling Shuang handed the peeled grapes to Mu Yu again, followed her gaze, and sighed softly: "Why is Miss so good to Miss Gong Family?" Miss has never been able to let go of Situ Yun in her heart, and Gong Yuhe is the wife of Situ Yun's childhood sweetheart, their relationship is said to be a rival in love, but Miss regards her as a confidant.
"Although I have not known Yuhe for a long time, she is simple and kind, and she has a similar temperament with me, and admires each other, so she is a rare friend who can make friends."
Hearing the pastoral rumor, Ling Shuang remembered something: "When I went to deliver the wedding robe, Miss Gong was very happy to learn that Miss You were safe and sound, and when asked about your whereabouts, I said that it was inconvenient to tell her, so she didn't ask again." Just let me take a message, saying that you want to protect yourself, go and see her when it's convenient, and remember to go to her if you have difficulties. I thought it was just a polite remark! Recalling the scene of that day, she also felt that this young lady of the palace family was very good.
"What are you talking about? So hot? A cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"I've seen the prince!" Ling Shuang hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Situ Yu waved her and sat down on the chair next to him.
Since that night, he would come to the garden every day for a few hours, just talking and arguing with the herdsmen under the maple tree.
For the first two days, Mu Yu didn't treat him with a good face, but he didn't mind at all, he stayed longer, and slowly Mu Yu didn't care, and the two could occasionally get along peacefully together.
Knowing that he would come every day, Ling Shuang and the others prepared a chair for him at the pastor's chair and made a pot of tea.
"We're talking about your princess taking your unborn child back to her parents' house, and you, who are husbands and fathers, are not in a hurry at all, aren't you afraid that she will run away with others!" The pastor looked at him playfully. Today's look looks much more tired than in the past, and I have been worried about the court recently, so I'm afraid I haven't closed my eyes all night.
"Run, run, I don't care if they all run away, but they fall quietly!" He picked up the cup in front of him, the tea was fragrant, took a sip and said: "But you are different from them, if you run away, I will find you back at the ends of the earth, and I will punish you severely!" His tone made it impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake, but his eyes were fixed on the dying orchid.
These days, Mu Yu has become accustomed to his company, and he is also used to his poor mouth, whether he is true or not, for her, these words are all classified as jokes, and they cannot be true.
For example, at this time, if the pastoral rumor is true, ask the last question: "Why am I different from them?" He would reply in a serious manner: "Because you are a chess piece, if you lose all the chess pieces, then how should I play this chess?" ”
Therefore, she didn't bother to pay attention to such words.
Seeing that she ignored her, Situ Yu didn't speak, he leaned lazily on the back of the chair, resting his head on his hands, and closed his eyes to enjoy the shade under the tree.
This period of time was really eventful, and after the prince was in charge of the country, the court was basically one-sided, and those who supported the prince were very active. And the neutral old ministers slyly watched the development of events, which means that if he did not make a move, he might lose the camp that he had built up so hard.
In addition, the gangs on the rivers and lakes are also in chaos at this time, for the legendary "Shenmu Order" is inextricably troubled, which also involves the hidden forces of the imperial courts of various countries, and the smoke of gunpowder has been breeding in the dark.
Fortunately, no matter how tired and annoyed he was, he found that as long as he walked into this garden, as long as he said a few words to her, the whole person would relax, and his mood would become calm, even if he lay quietly for a while like this, he felt very satisfied and relieved.
