Chapter Forty-Eight
"General Right, please go to the imperial study with the slave." The official who reported came out and said so.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, I heard my husband say before that the imperial study is a place used by the lord of the country to meet with his ministers, shouldn't foreign ministers like me be in the Ming Xuan Palace?
Could it be that there are some twists and turns in this?
Cui Han followed behind me, looking at her nose and nose and heart, and she was full of the appearance of a slave and maid.
With that official here, it's hard for me to consult with her.
After passing through the deep palaces in the palace, I finally arrived at the imperial study.
Cuihan couldn't enter according to the courtesy, so she waited outside.
Stepping into the high threshold of the imperial study, I realized that I had really thought too much about it before.
In the imperial study, there was a person standing tall, who was wearing a moon-white robe, and was smiling softly at me at this time.
It's Chengluan.
Cheng Shinan, the lord of the country, sat in front of the desk, his expression was calm, and he didn't know what they were talking about before.
The national teacher Liu Yan Qingli stood behind Cheng Shinan, still standing as he saw last time, with his eyes lowered, without any expression on his face, fluttering and looking like he was born.
Looking around like this, I was already in the middle of the study.
Leaning over and saluting them one by one, he heard Cheng Shinan's voice coming from above: "Jin Se, hurry up, hurry up, you are my hero of the Li Kingdom this time!" β
I was a little puzzled, I couldn't help but look at him blankly, but I saw Cheng Luan winking at me, I haven't seen him for a few days, it seems that he is already in good shape, only his lips are still a little pale.
"Luan'er just came back yesterday, this morning hurried to see Lone, he has reported you to me in the west, your previous battle report, written a little more humble, today I know, with you, it is my son's luck, my Li country's luck! Hahahaha! β
After Cheng Shinan finished speaking, he actually stood up from his seat, walked around the long table, and walked straight in front of me.
My heart tightened.
Cheng Shinan stood a step away from me and paused.
He took his hand, the corners of his lips were raised, his eyes were full of smiles, he looked me back and forth, looked at Cheng Luan again, and then laughed again: "Very good, very good!" Hahaha! β
When Cheng Luan heard this, he leaned over and smiled.
Looking at this situation, my heart gradually became clear. I can roughly guess what this Cheng father and son have said before.
couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and squinted his eyes to look at Liu Yanqing, after all, King Luan's wife is his daughter, and the father and son are talking about this here, aren't they afraid that the national teacher will not like it in their hearts?
Liu Yanqing didn't react at all, still standing with his eyes down, as if he was - asleep?
"Lord of the Kingdom," I couldn't, so I leaned over and said aloud, "Jin Se didn't dare to take credit this time, the soldiers of the Western Frontier suffered many casualties, and those who hold salaries for others must not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow." I hope that the main body of the country will sympathize with the soldiers, so that the soldiers can train with peace of mind and defend their families and the country! β
Cheng Shinan laughed and said, "Okay! A good person who holds a salary for others, do not let him freeze to death in the wind and snow! Jin Se really cherishes his family and country, such a woman is rare! Luan'er, you have to learn more from her! β
"The retainers obey!" Cheng Luan bowed and smiled sideways at me.
Could it be that he had completely forgotten the confrontation between the two of us in the tent when I left the West a few days ago?
"Lord of the country, Jin Se has one more thing."
"You speak!" Cheng Shinan sat back in his chair, resting his elbows on the desk, and looked at me with a smile.
"Han Jiang collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, the crime is unforgivable, I hope that the lord of the country will be wanted to arrest Han Jiang!" I know for myself that I'm just digressing.
"This, I have my own arrangement!" At the mention of Han Jiang, Cheng Shinan gradually smiled, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you haven't seen each other for a few days, take the opportunity to get together." β
With such an eviction order, I couldn't help but twitch the corners of my mouth.
He saluted with Cheng Luan, and was about to turn around, when he suddenly heard a loud noise outside.
A woman's shrill voice pierced the silence of the morning: "Lord, Lord, Lord?" β
Before I could think about it, the voice was already in front of the door. Cheng Luan's footsteps beside him suddenly stopped, and his face was very strange.
In an instant, I could guess who it was.
I hooked my lipsβjust in time.
The door of the imperial study was pushed open with a bang, and then there was a clang, and a graceful woman in green stepped in, followed by the attendants and maids on both sides, lined up.
I saw Cui Han standing by the door, winking at me.
I suddenly understood and smiled back at her.
"Lord Wang, why don't you go back to the house after you are in Kyoto, and the concubine has been missing for half a year." Although the woman is not twenty-eight years old, she still has the charm of self-care, and her skin can be broken by blowing. I think I was also a tender beauty back then.
She walked into the room, only hurriedly saluted the lord, and then stepped forward to hold Cheng Luan's hand affectionately, and hugged his arm tightly.
This is Liu Mengye!
According to legend, she once committed suicide for Cheng Luan, which forced the national teacher to have the cheekiness to ask Cheng Luan for marriage, and it seems that this rumor does not seem to be fake.
I quietly looked at the national teacher in the corner behind me, and saw that the feather fan he had been holding in his hand was shaking gently, but his face did not change much, and he was still standing silently.
Seeing Liu Mengye like this, Cheng Luan glanced at me on the side, and tried his best to pull his arm out of Liu Mengye's arms.
Helplessly, Liu Mengye missed too much, grabbed her husband and didn't let go.
Cheng Luan was anxious, pushed Liu Mengye's shoulder with his other hand, and muttered in his mouth: "Let go first, ah, there are so many people here......"
Liu Mengye seemed to be determined not to let him break free, leaned his head on Cheng Luan's shoulder, closed his eyes and said coquettishly: "So what, you and I are a legitimate husband and wife, be more affectionate, is it possible that others can still manage us?" β
I know who I mean by "others".
So he chuckled, bowed down and said, "Jin Se retired first." β
When he was about to leave, his sleeves were pulled by force......
When I turned around, I saw Cheng Luan's eyes glaring, looking at me as if asking for help.
At this time, Liu Mengye, Luan Wang, and I, in the eyes of everyone, should constitute a strange shape.
"King Luan, this is a family matter of your mansion, why bother with me?" I said with a bitter face.
"Jin Se, you don't know the king's intentions!"
My heart is on fire - so you're pulling me into this embarrassing situation!
Just as he was about to explode, Liu Mengye suddenly shouted: "Lord Wang, you are for her!" I didn't have a home in the west for half a year, but I was mixed with this thing that was neither male nor female! β
Not a man or a woman? This Liu Mengye is too deceitful!
As soon as I turned around, my palms raised.
"Smack!"
My palm hasn't fallen yet, but Liu Mengye has already received a slap on his face.
I turned my head and saw King Luan's face pale with anger.
"Wang-Ye-", Liu Mengye dragged out his voice, "You hit me-"
Her eyes were full of tears, "We have been married for fifteen years, and you beat me today?" It's for her! β
Liu Mengye covered his face with one hand and pointed at me with the other, tears rolling down like a flood that burst the embankment.
Quietly put down my palm, and at this moment, I suddenly felt a little sympathetic to her.
Seeing this, Cui Han outside the door came in and wanted to pull me away, but was seen by Liu Mengye at a glance.
"Cuihan, you little hoof, see who is your master!"
She knew that she couldn't get a bargain from me, so she wanted to sprinkle her anger on Cuihan, and she pounced on Cuihan to hit Cuihan, but Cuihan flashed sideways and avoided it.
Liu Mengye raised her hand and wanted to fight again, but I grabbed her raised arm.
"Cuihan was expelled from Luanwang's Mansion by King Luan before, and he is no longer a person in your mansion, so now follow me, why not?" I said coldly.
Liu Mengye was restrained by my arm, and couldn't move anymore, only blushing, but couldn't say a word.
Cheng Luan didn't want to help her.
I let go of her, and as soon as her body suddenly softened, she fell into Cheng Luan's arms: "Lord, concubine, concubine body is so bitter......"
After saying that, he began to cry.
As soon as I saw that it was hard, I began to be coquettish and soft.
Cheng Luan only stared at me, his face anxious. I know, fortunately, this is in Cheng Shinan's imperial study, and many words are inconvenient for him to say.
Seeing that he was entangled by Liu Mengye, the timing was just right, so I turned around and walked out of the imperial study quickly.
"Jinse!" Cheng Luan still didn't give up, and was still shouting in the back.
"Lord Wangβ" This was Liu Mengye's voice.
"Sizzle-"
This is...... I couldn't help but glance back.
It turned out that Cheng Luan's sleeves were torn off in half by Liu Mengye, and at this time he stood with his bare arms and stood in a daze, as if he couldn't accept this status quo for a while.
A few slaves and maids had already covered their mouths and chuckled.
I also chuckled, my eyes swept over Cheng Shinan in the room and Liu Yanqing behind him.
Liu Yanqing's feather fan seemed to shake more happily, and the corners of his mouth were a little lower than before, which made his face, which was already like a dead branch, look a little hideous. Her daughter and son-in-law were like this in front of the lord of the country, and he neither came forward to stop nor express his position, which alone made people feel strange.
Cheng Shinan was actually flipping through a book in front of him, with a posture that he didn't care about himself.
"Cuihan, let's go." I whispered to Cuihan and walked briskly forward.
"Jinse, please listen to me."
Luanwang's appearance of not hitting the south wall and not looking back is really palpitating.
It seems that if I don't listen to him today, I won't be able to leave.
So he turned around: "King Luan has something to say, just say it, Jin Se doesn't want to be humiliated in this palace." β
When King Luan heard this, he walked towards me a little apologetically, and Liu Mengye tore his clothes, thinking that it was because he was afraid of angering King Luan again, so he stood in place and did not move.
When the breeze blew, half of Luanwang's sleeves fluttered gently in the wind.
"Jinse," he said, ignoring this, "I did many things and hurt you when I didn't know you before. Not in the future. I said, I'll live again for you! β
I looked at him, and he looked solemn.
It's just that I can't stir up any ripples in my heart.
"Is King Luan finished? Jin Se took his leave first. β
I saluted, turned and left. I felt Liu Mengye's murderous gaze behind me.
"Jinse, you believe me!"
Cheng Luan was still shouting behind his back.
As I was walking forward, my steps suddenly stopped, as if they had taken root, grew on the ground, and could no longer move. But it wasn't because of Cheng Luan's words.
It's because, just a hundred meters in front of me, there is a sedan chair.
I know the sedan chair. And, I've sat on it, too.
The sour feeling in my heart hit again.
I thought that after a few days of illness at the inn, I was already down-looking.
But I never thought that at this moment, just seeing a sedan chair, it would completely collapse.
The chariot approached, and out of it came a woman with a beautiful face, and a colorful headband fluttering in the air.
She pointed at Cheng Luan and said coquettishly: "Brother Hao, you see that person's clothes are so strange!" β
He chuckled.
Sure enough, it's you, Cheng Hao.
