Volume 1: The Palace, Chapter 17: My patience is running out

Lu Ziyue opened her palm with some confusion, but unexpectedly saw a folded note lying in her palm.

Her eyes lit up.

Although Xiao Qi is serving by Shen Xie's side in this mansion, she is living a young lady's life, and there are people around her who are waiting, so she doesn't make any pastries at all.

What's more, she has to be busy dealing with the things arranged by Shen Xie every day.

Lu Ziyue stared at the window and door, and only opened the note after making sure that she was the only one in the room now.

A hasty glance at it, almost missing a bite of silver teeth.

"Shen Xie, you are actually hiding it from me again!"

This note said that the defeated soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom are now stationed outside the capital of the Shen State, and their camp tent is behind the Shen State soldiers, but because the Shen State soldiers look down on them, the problem of the camp has not been solved, and they have always lived in simple tents.

And the note also said that they had written to the regent three days ago, saying that they wanted to see her, but they never received a reply.

Later, yesterday they wrote to the general Shangguan.

She closed her eyes angrily, Shen Xie hid everything from her, and didn't treat her as his wife at all.

Whether it was the attack on Da Yue at the beginning, or the imprisoned emperor and queen later, all her sources did not come from him.

Maybe when deception became a habit, Shen Xie felt that there was no need to talk to her about anything.

The anger in Lu Ziyue's chest was rolling, but she also knew that no matter how angry she was, she couldn't blindly quarrel with that man.

Shen Xie couldn't compromise with her casually, since he hid this matter from himself, it showed that he was sure that he would be able to keep the news from spreading to his ears.

If she makes a rash move, it will only expose the existence of people from the Great Yue Kingdom around her.

No matter how stupid she is, she can't joke with other people's lives.

Trying to restrain his anger, he burned the note in the candle flame that he put aside.

And the leftover wooden cakes, she broke them one by one, mashed them all into pieces, and piled them together on a plate, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

She lay down on the soft collapse to rest, and drowsiness came in waves.

It's night.

When Shen Xie was dealing with everything in Shen Yuan, it was already completely dark.

He put down the cinnabar pen in his hand to review the Yue folds, and looked at Chu Cong who was standing aside with a bunch of folds in his hand, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "How are the affairs of the frontier handled?" ”

"The general matter is more or less settled, those small countries have promised to pay us tribute for three years, but they have one demand, that is, when they are invaded by other countries, they hope that we can provide them with military assistance."

Chu Cong handed Shen Xie the top copy of the pile of folds he was holding in his hand, and there was some worry in his eyes: "You haven't had a good rest in the past few days, is it because your princess has not handled things well?" ”

Chu Cong obviously saw the dark green under his eyes, as well as his hands that were always rubbing his eyebrows.

Shen Xie had a headache when he heard the words princess, and he rubbed his eyebrows with both hands: "Well, there are a lot of things, she has been messing with me for the past two days, saying that let me find a way to save the lives of her father and queen mother, I didn't have the idea of killing the two of them, but she makes such a fuss every day, and my patience is about to run out." ”

Chu Cong also probably understood the meaning of his good friend's words.

It's nothing more than that if his princess continues to mess with him, he will really kill her parents.

"So, although your heart is happy, how can you explain it to your princess? If you are really dead, don't you have to go to the house to uncover the tiles? Maybe in ten days, your enthronement ceremony will have to be completed by you alone. ”

Chu Cong smiled as if he was looking at the excitement: "But this princess of yours still knows how to advance and retreat, and she didn't make a big deal out of it, if it was replaced by other ignorant people, I'm afraid your family would have jumped a long time ago." ”

Sensible?

Shen Xie snorted coldly: "If she knew about advance and retreat, she wouldn't have gone to Shangguan Zimo for help." ”

Shen Xie's most angry place is still here, it doesn't matter who Lu Ziyue goes to help with, he can settle it in the end anyway.

In addition to Shangguan Zimo, this god of war who has been stationed on the frontier for a long time is an existence that he also has to avoid.

Chu Cong was Shen Xie's closest friend, and of course he knew that Shen Xie and Shangguan Zi were at odds with each other.

He couldn't guess why Lu Ziyue did this.

But if you don't think about things so complicated, you can't guess the answer.

Chu Cong looked at Shen Xie, the man's face was very stinky now, and he was in a very bad mood.

He sighed: "Since the matter has happened, did Shangguan Zimo come to you to tell you about it?" ”

"No, but he sent someone to deliver a letter just now, saying that those soldiers from the Great Yue Kingdom wanted to see Lu Ziyue."

Shen Xie picked up the fold that was put aside and handed it to Chu Cong: "Do you want to see what is written on it?" ”

"There's no need for that." An impatience flashed in Chu Cong's eyes, "Those soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom always can't see their own status clearly, the regent princess of the Shen Kingdom, the future queen mother, is it that they can see it if they want to?" ”

After speaking, he said specially: "You'd better not tell Lu Ziyue about this matter, otherwise, she may go out to see them directly without telling you, the current situation is very complicated, Lu Ziyue must stay in the regent palace." ”

Shen Xie's key point tomorrow, he lowered his eyes and picked up the tea on the side and drank it all.

The day passed quickly.

Lu Ziyue didn't have the habit of sleeping lazy, she got up as soon as she arrived.

Mu Hua hadn't come over to serve yet, and there was no one in the courtyard.

She sat under a woodcut tree.

Shen Guo also planted a lot of mulberry trees, and they liked the floral fragrance of mulberry flowers very much, and they would make many things out of this flower.

Eat, drink.

In the eyes of the people of Shen Guo, the only purpose for the existence of flowers and plants in this world is to meet their needs.

Lu Ziyue sat under the tree in a daze, and Shen Xie watched her in a daze not far away.

The distance between the two people is only a few dozen steps.

I don't know how long I stood before I heard the crowing of a rooster in my ears.

The people in the courtyard gradually woke up, and Shen Xie saw Lu Ziyue get up, so he left.

Mu Hua got up early today, and she came out of the room to go to the courtyard to ask the maid to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard.

There was some light rain last night, and the leaves and dirt in the yard must have mixed together today.

It's just that she didn't expect that Lu Ziyue was sitting in the courtyard, she hurriedly stepped forward, took off her coat and draped it on Lu Ziyue's shoulders, and said softly: "Why did the princess get up so early today?" Now it is autumn, and the dew in the morning is heavy, if it is contaminated with the cold, I am afraid that the princess will be uncomfortable for a few days. ”

"It's okay, when I was still in Da Yue before, I always got up before dawn in the morning, and I have long been used to it all year round."

Lu Ziyue looked at Mu Hua with a smile and put her coat back on her body: "Didn't you say that the Ministry of Rites was going to come over to order the clothes?" Is it all arranged over there? ”

Lu Ziyue would take the initiative to ask about Shen Xie, but Mu Hua didn't expect it.

She nodded and replied: "Yes, the prince will go out to the household department this morning, and the people from the Ministry of Rites will come over after he comes back, there are many things to be busy today, and the people of the Ministry of Rites are not only for the princess to judge the clothes for the ceremony, but also for some daily wear after entering the palace." ”

Mu Hua said as he led Lu Ziyue into the house.

She was relieved when she made sure that the door was tightly closed: "When the princess tells them all the patterns and colors of your clothes that you like, this will make all the clothes for a year." ”

"Okay, I'll think about it later."

She smiled, put her hands on her cheeks, and didn't know where her eyes were looking.

Mu Hua felt that Lu Ziyue was a little different from a few days ago.

She is the person who the prince has already planned to send over, so it took a month to get to know her character in the corner where Lu Ziyue couldn't see.

On weekdays, the princess stays alone in the room most of the time and does not come out, she will do a lot of things in the room with her maids.

Maybe it's reading a book, maybe it's playing a game.

Occasionally, I will go out in disguise, but I am always active around the palace.

The princess will always control the scope of her movements well, and in any case operate within the sphere of influence of the palace.

Mu Hua thought that she should be very smart and would never put herself in danger.

But now, I'm afraid that the princess won't be smart either.

Living in this world, people are always easily affected by various things and being affected by all kinds of people.

When she feels that there is no burden in living in this world, God will always play a joke with her.

In other words, the first half of life is too smooth and has not suffered any hardships, and the second half of life will come to atone for sins.

The fifteen-year-old princess has a delicate face and unparalleled talent, and I don't know how many nobles are full of jealousy of her behind her.

I don't know how many sons and daughters fall in love with her.

has taken all the good luck of the women of the three countries, and now it is time to repay it.

The country is ruined, and her father and mother are still locked up in the prison, but she wants to marry the emperor who ruined her country and become the queen of his mother's world.

Mu Hua was silent, she stood behind Lu Ziyue, giving her plenty of time to stay alone.

Mu Hua's expression changed, and Lu Ziyue didn't know it.

And she herself is in an abnormal mood today, and she is not unaware.

It's just that people always have to learn to get used to it, Lu Ziyue has already made a choice, so she must get used to the changes that this choice has brought to her life.

Now that she has found a way to save the lives of her father and queen mother, the most important thing for her at present is that she must make Shen Xie not regret it.

Let's live first, as long as we can live well, there is hope for everything.
