"The second girl doesn't have to come out to meet guests a few years ago, and then ask a grandmother to teach her the rules, doesn't she think that her status is valuable, and sooner or later she will be a royal person? With the way she looks now, even if she marries into the royal family, she will lose the face of my Yiyang Hou Mansion, so I will take this opportunity to do a good job, it is the duty of our Hou Mansion, I just hope that she will not do anything harmful in the future. "Old Madam Yan has already decided how to deal with Yan Xiang, but she is just a second daughter mixed with water, she can bring glory and benefits to the Yan family and can also be held by you, if it will bring disaster to the family, it can only be wiped out, the Yan family has no shortage of women, especially gentle and beautiful women.

"Yes, old lady."

Yan Jiu subtly noticed that Mrs. Yan's disgust for Yan Xiang was getting deeper and deeper, it seemed that it was not easy for the second lady to turn over in the mansion, even if she married, she was just a thorn in the emperor's eyes and a thorn in her flesh, where was the glory she imagined.

After getting Mrs. Yan's order, Yan Jiu immediately set out to deal with Yan Xiang's affairs, and before he arrived at the firewood room, he heard the chaotic noise, and when he heard it carefully, it was a little like Mrs. Hou's voice, and he secretly said in his heart, he wouldn't get the news so quickly, it seemed that it was really difficult to do.

Yan Jiu slowly approached to take a look, it was really a difficult Mrs. Hou, Yan Jiu stubbornly pretended to be respectful to Mrs. Hou and said: "Yan Jiu has seen Madame, the firewood room is messy, wouldn't it be a loss of Madame's identity, if you have something to do and directly greet the people below, how can you let Madame run such a trip in person." ”

"Oh, is it? There are some minions that Madame Ben can't drive, right, Steward Yan? After Mrs. Hou glanced at Yan for a long time, her eyes kept staring at the firewood room in front of her, as if there were rare treasures in it, and people couldn't turn their eyes.

"Please forgive Madame for Yan Jiu*'s inconsiderability, if you meet such a slave again, Madame can just get out, and Yan Jiu will definitely re-produce someone for Madame* who satisfies Madame." No matter what kind of hints Mrs. Hou had, Yan Jiu only made a look of incomprehension, and his face was still respectful and slowly waited for Mrs. Hou's dispatch.

Mrs. Hou punched the cotton, and there was no reaction, so she said a little angrily: "Steward Yan, Mrs. Ben doesn't care if you really don't understand what I say, or if you deliberately pretend to be crazy and stupid, but you have heard me clearly, and immediately release my Xiang'er to me, if you don't listen to Mrs. Ben, then leave our Yiyang Hou Mansion according to your own words." ”

Yan Jiu made a look of sudden realization and patted his head viciously and said: "It turns out that Mrs. personally went to the firewood room for this matter, and this matter is also to blame the slave for not paying attention to it clearly, if Mrs. had notified Mrs. early, Mrs. would not have run away in vain, the slave knew that he was wrong, and he had a lot of money to pay off Mrs. Don't take it to heart." ”

Lady Yan listened to Yan Jiu's words of admitting her mistakes one after another, her heart was a lot more relaxed, and her face was a little more relaxed, and said: "In this case, then why don't you hurry up and release my Xiang'er, I really don't know what kind of bear-hearted leopard gall you dog slaves ate, Mrs. Ben's daughter is the princess appointed by the Holy Lord, you are offending the majesty of the Holy Lord and slapping the royal face." ”

Mrs. Yan is not from a high background, and she doesn't understand the situation of Mu Wangfu in Handu, she only knows that her daughter is the one who wants to fly on the branches to be a phoenix, and she is also a royal in-law, such an honor is not something that anyone can get, she wants to let those who laugh at her daughter Kefu see her daughter's blessings.

"Madam, when did the slave say that he would release the second miss, and asked the lady to be cautious, if such words are spread, I'm afraid the old lady will not let the slave have a good time." Yan Jiu made a frightened look, and deeply said that he had never said anything about letting people go.

Mrs. Yan was blocked by Yan Jiu's words and didn't know how to refute it, so she pointed at Yan Jiu loudly and said: "Okay, you Yan Jiu, our Hou Mansion is not your master, Mrs. Ben said that you must let it go, come on, go and smash the door of the firewood room for me." ”

The people who followed Mrs. Yan must have been all her people, Mrs. Yan gave an order, and three or five rough mothers-in-law rushed directly to slam the door, no matter how Yan Jiu warned and reprimanded, they all pretended to be deaf and dumb as if they had not heard it, and only listened to Mrs. Yan's orders.

"Ah Qing, Ah Xiang, a few of you go up and stop me, if anyone releases the second lady out today, the family will deal with it." With Yan Jiu's family law, who dares to watch the excitement on the sidelines, they all rushed up to stop those mothers-in-law, everyone knows that Steward Yan dares to say this, there must be a calculation, they all know the old lady of Steward Yan, they don't dare to go against the old lady, the hostess in the Hou Mansion is Mrs. Hou, yes, but compared to Mrs. Hou, the old lady is a more terrifying existence.

Yan Jiu saw Mrs. Yan gritting her teeth, scolding with her teeth and claws, and stepped forward and said: "Madam, the minions have already persuaded you, why do you still insist on going your own way, it's not that the minions are stubborn, but the old lady gave a death order, the second lady did something wrong, she should be punished, if the old lady doesn't do it at this time, then the lady may not see the second lady who can still listen to you now." ”

Although Mrs. Yan came from a humble background, she was still clear about the meaning of some of her words, Yan Jiu's words were not a warning, could it be that Xiang'er offended the powerful again, didn't Xiang'er say that when she left, didn't she say that she accompanied the county lord of Prince Yue's mansion to go out and make a wish, could it be that she offended the county lord of Yanran Mrs. Yan's fingers trembled slightly, what can I do, the county lord of Yanran is notoriously ruthless, if so, isn't the Hou Mansion in a big trouble.

Mrs. Yan couldn't take care of Yan Xiang now, her eyes were confused and left outside the courtyard, and Leng Yanran repeatedly appeared in her mind with the soldiers of the palace to surround the Hou Mansion, and the water was impassable, and it was impossible to escape.

"Steward Yan, what's wrong with Madam, why does it seem like she has been hooked?" Ah Xiang scratched his head, he really couldn't figure it out, wasn't Mrs. still thundering just now, why did she leave suddenly now.

"Shut up, everything I shouldn't say is rotten in my stomach, as long as I show the second lady to prison, the old lady has explained, whether it is Mrs. or Master Hou, not even a mosquito can fly in." Steward Yan was troubled by Mrs. Yan, and there was a trace of anger in his heart.

"Yes"

After Steward Yan arranged everything properly, Ji Yu also hurried back to Qingyuetai, and when she entered the Feng Courtyard, she heard July mention her.

"Princess, the slave and maid are back to life, the things you explained have been done, the second miss of the Yan family estimates that she will not be able to come out for a long time, and the princess will not have to worry about it." As soon as Yu Yu stepped into the flower hall, he hurriedly stepped forward to report to July about Yan Xiang's affairs.

July nodded with a smile and said, "As expected, I went to the Yiyang Marquis Mansion today, how do you feel?" ”

The Yiyang Hou Mansion is also an old aristocrat, and I heard that the old lady in his mansion is very powerful, and I don't know if Jiyu has seen the old lady Yan this time.

"Princess, Mrs. Yan is as wise as the legend, as soon as the slave appeared, she had already guessed what was going on, and she did not show half partiality to Yan Xiang, but also disgusted, I believe she will make Yan Xiang feel painful." Ji Yu now thinks of Old Madam Yan's eyes, there is still coldness, even if he has lived in the deep palace for many years, he is used to seeing countless cold and warm, but he feels a deep chill in Old Madam Yan's eyes.

A gust of autumn wind suddenly whirred, and the autumn leaves of the entire maple courtyard drifted away with the wind, and the south window near July could see such a poignant scene.

"Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yan will not let this Yan Xiang ruin the century-old foundation of the Yiyang Hou Mansion, even if the current Yiyang Hou Mansion has fallen to the status of Han without half a point, it is also a great achievement built by the martyrs of the Yan family with blood, as long as the Yiyang Hou Mansion still exists, then their Yan family still has hope, how can Mrs. Yan let a small Yan Xiang mess up the future of the Yiyang Hou Mansion."

The analysis of July is the first to say, Yiyang Hou Mansion is not only Yan Xiang, the famous capital of the talented woman Yan Jiao's husband is not low, and Yan Jiao's brother has two yuan and first, the end of autumn this year can not come to a three-yuan and first, the decline of Yiyang Hou Mansion can only be a long hibernation, I am afraid that it will not be long before Yiyang Hou Mansion will cause a sensation in the entire rare capital.

"Princess, the slave maid mentioned Miss Yan many times in Mrs. Yan's place, and Mrs. Yan's attitude towards Miss Yan and Yan Xiang is very different, and I am afraid that this time I will be even more disgusted."

While cleaning up the leftovers after the July meal, Jiyu mentioned what he saw and heard in the Yiyang Hou Mansion, the structure of the garden, and the scenery in the mansion.

"The autumn color is just right, and the flower-viewing banquets of each family are gradually prepared, since you mentioned Miss Yan in the Yiyang Hou Mansion today, you will stay after receiving her invitation to the flower-viewing banquet." That is, Yu mentioned Yan Jiao, then Mrs. Yan will inevitably pass the news to Yan Jiao, a woman like Yan Jiao must be smart, since the banquet is held, it will definitely be comprehensive.

"Please forgive the princess, the slave and maid have made their own decisions." When Ji Yu heard July's order to leave Miss Yan's invitation, he knew that he hadn't thought deeply enough this time.

July looked at Yan Cheng's secret letter, his face was solemn, his brows were slightly frowned, his apricot eyes were full of worry, and his hand holding the letter paper trembled slightly.

"Princess"

"Princess"

Seeing that July didn't say a word for about half an hour, and their expressions didn't even change, they were afraid that something would happen, so they gently called out twice by July's side.

"It's okay, where did you just go?"

The things mentioned in the letter are firmly in my heart, the night is not deep, the people are not quiet, this clear platform is not a place where water does not leak, the ears of the wall are everywhere, and the yellowed paper paper is thrown into the brazier with wisps of green smoke turned into ashes.

Jiyu was suddenly stunned, and didn't know where to start, and saw a faint figure in July's gaze, so he said: "The slave maid is afraid that the princess will punish the slave maid for taking matters into her own hands, and mention to Old Madam Yan your heart of friendship with Miss Yan." ”

"What's the matter, your princess and I feel very bored when I arrive in Jin Guo, and I don't have any friends except for those who come to trouble me every day, isn't Miss Yan a talented girl who is famous and rare, if I mess with her, will I be able to export it?" The corners of July's mouth rose slightly, and he put his feet on the couch and drank Xishan cloud tea.

"Then the slave maid will rest assured, when Miss Yan holds a flower appreciation banquet, the slave maid will dress you up beautifully, and my princess will definitely be glamorous." That is, the jade was embroidering a purse on the side and talking with a smile on her face.

Seeing that the black shadow had not moved, July said viciously: "If anyone dares to dress up better than Princess Ben, then don't want her face." ”

July looked at Jiyu's eyes and flickered to the door, Jiyu hurriedly got up and said, "Princess, it's time for you to drink sweet soup, and the slave will go and fetch it for you." ”

Jiyu walked to the door step by step, and when he pushed open the door with a 'click', he saw that Gardenia Ling was not far away, and immediately said: "Gardenia, it's a coincidence, I was about to go to your place to get sweet soup, so you rushed to deliver it." ”

Gardenia didn't know what to mean, but seeing that Jiyu had been making a look, he hurriedly said: "Yes, Aunt Jiyu, the princess's sweet soup is ready, you bring it to the princess, I'll wait outside." ”

As soon as Yu turned around and entered the room, the black shadow disappeared into the night.

"Princess, the 'sweet soup' prepared for you by Gardenia, you can taste it first."

"You're a jade, everyone is gone, and there's no sweet soup, but what is this, it tastes so good." July rolled her eyes, her pink mouth pursed slightly, and she hummed twice at Jiyu, but she smelled a sweet smell.

Jiyu smiled and said, "My princess is really a snack, nothing can escape your nose." ”

In July, the little jade bowl that the jade had taken for her squirted and drank not a drop left, and then stretched out her small and delicate tongue and licked the corners of her mouth before smiling proudly.

"The ghost is gone?"

July's unfinished eyes looked at the soup cup in Jiyu's hand, and watched Jiyu take the rest out of the house and put it in Gardenia's hand.

"That is, when Yu came in, he left, Leng Yang really didn't worry about our Qingyuetai, there are already many of his people inside and outside here, and he actually sent a gentleman from Liang Shang to spy on him, but I really can't guess his intentions."

Twilight looked at the endless night, her eyes flickering slightly, and the feeling of letting people come and go freely was really uncomfortable.

"Uncle Dusk, is there anyone from Prince Yue's Mansion today?" In July, he didn't return to Qingyuetai until it was dark at night, and he was delayed by Chen Kang and Luo Ling for about half an hour on the way.

Twilight Xi has not gone out since returning to Qingyuetai, and when the people from Prince Yue's mansion came to the door, he happened to receive him, but he didn't have any sincerity, and he was sent away in a few words.

"The subordinates just returned to the Qingyue Platform for a cup of tea, and the chief of Prince Yue's mansion came to visit, in fact, it was for Leng Yanran, and when the subordinates saw that the princess had not returned, they asked him to go back and invite Prince Yue to come and collect the people in person."

"Yes, I want to take people away with a little long history, does his Prince Yue's Mansion look down on this princess or is she Leng Yanran not enough weight, I finally caught the sore feet of Prince Yue's Mansion once, and didn't let Prince Yue spit out a little thing, I don't think I will give up." July had already thought about what he wanted, and he had already regarded the treasures in the treasury of Prince Yue's mansion as his own.

Twilight had long known that July was going to take this opportunity to knock Prince Yue hard, and also sounded a wake-up call to the famous royal family of Handu, offending her, she didn't care who you were, she still treated her exactly the same as ordinary people.

"Do you need to take good care of Leng Yanran?"

"Of course, not only to serve her with good food and drink, but also to let her sleep well, play well, and dress well, anyway, as long as she doesn't go to heaven and earth, doesn't tear down the Qingyue platform where I live temporarily, and doesn't run away, she can do whatever she wants, as long as she is comfortable, this princess will take care of her better than her own mother, is Prince Yue still embarrassed to come to my Qingyue platform to ask the teacher?" July looked at Twilight with a proud face, this plan was unprecedented and unprecedented, and she didn't believe that Prince Yue was not good.

"Yes, that is, Yu immediately went to arrange the warmest, most beautiful, most comfortable, and most suitable environment for the county lord of Yanran, and definitely let her enjoy a more noble and thoughtful service than Prince Yue's mansion, so that she spontaneously felt that Qingyuetai was her home, and a feeling that she never wanted to leave again."

Jiyu didn't expect her words at this time, and since then, Leng Yanran has been entangled in July, and she has reported to Qingyuetai day after day, so she has to become friends with July.

"Let's go"

Watching Jiyu walk away, until he was out of sight, the smile on July's face slowly dissipated, and a feeling of coldness and loneliness slowly emerged.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

Seeing July's sadness, Twilight Xi remembered the letter that July burned before, could it be the reason for the letter, was something happened in Yong'an City or Yancheng, which made July have such a big reaction, it seems that the situation is not optimistic.

"It's not a big deal, Cousin Moyi said in his heart that his father is willing to form an alliance with me, and my aunt is all right, let me just go all the way, don't worry about the rest, Xiban will always support me."

The letterhead that had slept with the charcoal fire just now was a handwritten secret letter from Xiban Moyi, but before he could say it to Twilight, he discovered the 'ghost' outside the house, so he had to change the subject and not mention it.

"Since the King of the West Barbarians has agreed to form an alliance with us, this should be a good thing, why does the princess still have a sad face?" Twilight Xi wondered why July was still unhappy, and Xiban agreed to form an alliance, ensuring that he had no worries and the best quality war horses.

July exhaled lightly and said in a voice: "My cousin also mentioned the Rou tribe, and the Rou tribe seems to have moved again, not only to create chaos in the Xiban territory, but also to slowly move to the northwest, I don't know what the intention is. ”

"Rou?"

It's been a long time since the word Rou Clan, and it seems that it hasn't been mentioned for many years, and now that I suddenly heard July mention it, Twilight still has a strange feeling.

"Yes, it's the Rou clan, the Rou clan you think in your heart."

July looked at Twilight's puzzled eyes and nodded, he was right, it was the brave and warlike Rou clan in Twilight's impression.

"Didn't the Rou people retreat to the Deep North? Why is it happening again now? Twilight was surprised that the battle between the Rou and Tang Dui slowly disappeared silently, and there was hardly any news about the Rou from anywhere else.

"Deep North? That was twenty years ago, twenty years ago, and it's time to return to the stage of history. July reminded Twilight that twenty years had passed since the deep north in his mouth, and the current Rou people were no longer the Rou tribes of twenty years ago.

"So, princess, do we need to pay close attention to the movements of the Rou clan?"

Twilight was afraid that the Rou Clan would stir up trouble again like they had done twenty years ago, and how could they let a small Rou Clan destroy what they were planning.

"Let a special group be set up in February to investigate the affairs of the Rou tribe with all their might, I always feel that this time the Rou tribe is not trivial, and they are definitely prepared." When it comes to the Rou people, there is a strange feeling of uneasiness in July.

"Yes"

"The Rou and Xiban have always been a headache for Tang Duan, and in recent years, because of my aunt, the Xiban has been divided, and this Rou is probably not used to such a quiet situation." Twenty years ago, the Rou and Xiban were both powerful border neighbors in the Tang Dynasty, but their ambitions made the Rou gradually lose themselves, and eventually lost their national dignity and prestige.

"Twenty years ago, I still remember the great war, when the corpses of Jiaocheng were all over the field, the blood flowed into the river, the Rou people slaughtered all the lives of my Tang Dynasty Jiaocheng overnight, there was no trace of the left, the emperor was angry and ordered the Dingbei Hou to lead the army to the north, the Dingbei Hou fought bloodily in Lingbei for three months, and in those three months, I don't know how many times was attacked by the night, and even cut off the back road by the calculation of the people in the court, that is, on the night of the last day of the three months, the Rou people broke through the siege with all their might, The Marquis of Dingbei stood tall even with several arrows in his flesh and blood body, and finally wiped out the entire army of the Rou tribe. ”

He was ordered by the emperor to go to deliver a message to the Marquis of Dingbei, but he encountered the last siege of the Rou tribe, and then Duxi knew what war was, and he was a real general.

"That big battle twenty years ago, where is Uncle Dusk?"

"Yes, at that time, the Marquis of Dingbei was like a killing god who couldn't kill enough, I still remember what he said, he said: Rouran slaughtered countless living beings in my Tang Dynasty, and the soul of the Rou clan Jiaocheng was not destroyed, and now it seems that the long-cherished wish of Dingbei Hou has not been completed."

The Marquis of Dingbei is a military marquis in the twilight of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also one of the several old ministers who strongly supported the emperor as the crown prince when the first emperor died, but it has already become a cloud of history, if he is still here, I am afraid he still wants to fight again.

"Twenty years of recuperation is enough for the Rou people to return to the stage of history, the deterrence of Dingbei Hou has disappeared, they want to do something, and they only hope that the slaughter of the city twenty years ago will not appear again." July believes that the activities of the Rou tribe this time are not to prove that the Rou tribe has not been exterminated, since he dares to appear in the field of vision, it means that the Rou tribe is not easy to solve.

"Okay, the affairs of the Rou clan can be left to February, accompany me out tonight, someone is bound to meet me." In July, seeing that the moonlight gradually lost its light, he got up and put on a black Shu brocade cloak.

Silent as a thing, July secretly looked around without eyeline, jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night, about half an hour plain clothes fluttering on the green eaves, behind him silently stood twilight after July.
