Chapter 119
After a banquet, almost all the children of the nobles were deeply attracted by the song "Shu Dao Difficult" by the Nine Princesses and the arrogant character of Rulan.
Originally, she was just an ordinary woman, a nobody. But unexpectedly, with his heavenly voice, sinking fish and geese-like appearance and aura that cannot be ignored, he became famous, which made many princes and nobles dream!
But since the peach blossom incident, the East Palace has not been at peace.
Gong Haopu defiled the concubine of the Yan family because of his momentary emotion, and was also watched by people in public, and now he is beaten up.
Moreover, the object is still Yan Ruling, who has been regarded as a treasure by the Yan family since childhood, and a woman's chastity is regarded as life.
And when he went to court, Feng Jingyu also pointed the finger at the prince, and what happened that day was seen by everyone, and the mouth of Youyou could not be stopped. The pressure of these public opinions also gave Gong Haopu a headache, and he reluctantly agreed to marry Yan Ruling as the crown princess.
The Yan family's current power is monstrous, and it is the first of the four major mansions, but it is because of such a ridiculous reason that they have to marry their daughter out, which is really unacceptable to the Yan family.
But even if Yan Ruling's reputation is ruined, she would rather die than marry into the East Palace as a crown princess.
Yan Ruming, who felt sorry for her sister, kept comforting her, only to know Yan Ruling's thoughts: It turned out that she had already had a favorite Langjun in her heart, but what happened that day completely ruined all the hopes and beauty in her heart, and those dreams could no longer be realized.
"Master, I guess Xiao Yuqi must be very remorseful and painful at this moment, I really want to see it with my own eyes, I must be very happy!"
Dew looked happy, raised a bright little face and looked at Chu Xuewei, her eyes were full of pride; Let her always have trouble with your master before, now it's okay. If something like this happens, let's see if she can laugh!
Chu Xuewei put her hands on her cheeks, sat on the stone bench of the pavilion in the Yanyu Pavilion, and looked at the surrounding scenery boredly.
Even if she is just a woman without half of the power in this era, she really can't look down on a woman like Xiao Yuqi!
Since refining the Human Pill, Chu Xuewei put the prescription in the Yanyu Pavilion and instructed them to sell it according to the generic medicine. And the sales are very good, and they are always sold out.
Ku Niang and the people of Yanyu Pavilion finally made a lot of money, even if the people under them usually don't say anything on the surface, but in fact, they have long wanted to know in their hearts, who is the real boss behind the scenes of Yanyu Pavilion?
With such ingenuity, and being able to see business opportunities and put them into the market in a timely manner, he must be a brave and resourceful, resourceful and witty young man.
But who is this man? It's really strange why she only lets Ku Niang pass on messages and instructions to everyone, but never shows up for the big guy to see.
During this time, everyone was talking about the real owner behind the Yanyu Pavilion, and such rumors had been rumored for a long time.
"Ku Niang, you go to Shajing Qingtang Valley to find the Dawn Messenger to explore, and see if there are any precious materials, if there are puppet incense and candle dragons, then it is even better. A full box for each of them. Chu Xuewei pondered for a moment, looked at Ku Niang and said.
For China, it has always been a four-legged stand. In the country of Tanglin, the civil ministers are inside the lord, and the military generals are outside. The two work well together, so it has become the most powerful country in China.
In second place is West Korea, where the current ruler of West Korea is more respectful of governing the country with culture, and now the people are rich and the country is developing steadily. As for the other two kingdoms, they are on par.
Five years ago, the entire Shenzhou region fell into a bloody battle, the four great powers killed each other, in this battle, the four countries did not have an absolute winner, and all of them damaged their vitality to varying degrees. Now, all countries are accumulating strength, and no one dares to act rashly.
However, the Shajing Qingtang Valley mentioned by Chu Xuewei is not within these four countries, but is located in the mountains and mountains at the junction of countries.
Almost no one knows the exact location of this place, but some traders have seized this opportunity to bring some jade jewelry from Shikoku to sell here, falsely claiming to be from the Qingtang Valley in Shajing.
The puppet incense and candle dragon that Chu Xuewei just mentioned are the things that are used by the royal talents of Western Korea.
In Tanglin, it is difficult for ordinary people or even ordinary eunuchs to see it, and some people have never even heard of it. But Chu Xuewei wants a whole box, isn't this a fool's dream?
But in Ku Niang's opinion, although this matter is difficult, it is not extremely difficult, and there is no expression on her face: "Is there a time limit?" β
Chu Xuewei smiled and moved her gaze to the familiar back below.
A glimmer of light flashed between her eyes, and she took out a handful of paper from her sleeve, and Ku Niang immediately took it when she saw this, "Wait a minute, there will be a big customer coming to Yanyu Pavilion, and in two days, you can prepare everything according to the information I gave you." β
Two days? It's a tough task.
It will take at least a day to go back and forth from Yanyu Pavilion to Shajing Qingtang Valley, but who knows if there will be puppet incense and candle dragon directly when you go? Coupled with the fact that there are so many requests this time, I'm afraid it's not so easy.
However, Ku Niang has never liked things that can be accomplished overnight, and the things that are done through hard work are often the most valuable, and this task can only be completed by yourself!
But...... Ku Niang glanced at the piece of paper, then looked at Chu Xuewei, and said, "Princess, don't you know this person?" If it's an old acquaintance, we'll cut the price appropriately. β
The corners of Chu Xuewei's mouth hooked up a sneer, and her eyes were full of coldness.
She looked down and looked at the man in purple, her voice was indifferent, and she said without a trace of warmth, "No need, Yanyu Pavilion should also be opened well." β
Ku Niang was stunned, followed Chu Xuewei's line of sight, and saw the man who was talking to someone at this time, as if he was a little excited.
The purple embroidered gold brocade robe was not an ordinary fabric. At first glance, he is a rich and noble person, but this face is unbearable to look at.
Looking at this man, Ku Niang seemed to understand something, and her eyes stared at the man like a sharp sword: "Princess, I will not let you down." β
Chu Xuewei slowly retracted her gaze and looked up at Ku Niang, the previous coldness disappeared in an instant, replaced by a soft gaze: "Remember, those things will be temporarily put away when they are shipped, and someone will come to buy them soon, we just need to wait quietly and knock him hard." β
Chu Xuewei seemed to be a little distracted, and her big light eyes seemed to have some mist.
She remembered that Chu Xuewei never smiled easily in the past, and even when she smiled, she always smiled humbly and sadly.
It's because of Gong Haopu that her life is gone, so treat him so sincerely, but what did she gain in the end?
Now she is no longer the submissive Chu Xuewei she used to be, she no longer has to live carefully, she can laugh openly and recklessly when she wants to laugh.
"I'll leave this matter to you." Chu Xuewei smiled at Ku Niang, like the most touching spring light and the most charming fireworks. The clear phoenix eyes are like the sunshine of the lake pouring into the destruction, and the beauty is moving.
After finishing speaking, Chu Xuewei stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked downstairs calmly.
Gong Haopu is the crown prince, but he came to Yanyu Pavilion alone, which is enough to see that although the Yan family married their daughter to him, the resentment in their hearts has not been eliminated.
Even if it's a small matter like taking something, let him do it himself.
Once upon a time, this man was also the beloved of the owner of this body, willing to do anything for him, just so that he could look back at her.
However, he didn't know how to cherish it at all, and he wanted her life. Now, the phoenix and water are turning, and he can't imagine that he will have today.
Chu Xuewei ignored the prince at all, and passed by him directly, her face full of disgust and disdain.
Seeing that she was about to walk out of the door of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, a light purple appeared in front of her, blocking her in front of her, "Wait. β
This voice once haunted Chu Xuewei in her previous life, and she was deeply immersed in it, and it was difficult to extricate herself.
It's just that when Chu Xuewei heard it in the ears of this world, she was extremely disdainful.
Chu Xuewei's face was indifferent, and her eyes were very unhappy, but her figure still stopped and did not walk away directly.
Gong Haopu took a few steps forward and looked at her, the original face of the upside-down beings couldn't be seen at all at the moment, it seemed that Yan Rumi's hands were heavy enough!
He stood in front of her, his eyes open with crimson eyes full of resentment and remorse.
The aura around him seemed to be frozen, and his hideous face looked as if he was going to eat her.
On the other hand, Chu Xuewei was unmoved, ignoring the anger of the person in front of her, raising her innocent little face, and pretending to look at him confusedly, "Yo, who is this, the little girl in the blue sky and the day will not let her go." β
As soon as the words fell, Gong Haopu's green tendons burst out, and it seemed that he was not lightly angry.
Gong Haopu is not the kind of brainless, if something like this happens, you can figure it out after a careful stroke, this incident is definitely not an accident, it must be man-made.
So, who else but Chu Xuewei could come up with such a vicious plan.
But now, she's pretending to be innocent here?!
Gong Haopu was full of anger, and a pair of eyes that were about to breathe fire glared at Chu Xuewei, "The field I have landed now, I'm afraid all of it will be thanks to you!" β
Chu Xuewei was also not afraid, her cold eyes were on him, in her previous life, she poured out her heart and lungs to him, only begging him to stay by her side, but in the end, in exchange for something, except for being covered with scars and a desperate heart, she got nothing.
His own affection is lighter than grass mustard in the eyes of others.
After being reborn, Chu Xuewei must live for herself, she wants to watch the people who have bullied her, and they all get their due retribution.
In an instant, he changed into a pitiful appearance, looking at him with big eyes, as if he was very innocent.
She pretended to be unrecognizable for a long time, and finally covered her chest and took a few steps back: "It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived!" The concubine was clumsy, and she didn't even see it. β
The tone was full of sarcasm, but looking at her harmless and beautiful face, I couldn't bear to expose her, and even subconsciously believed her.
He clenched his fists, took a few steps closer, and stared at her deadly, "You woman, if it weren't for you, how could I possibly set foot in that room?" β
Chu Xuewei's eyes widened, her face was full of disbelief, and she shouted loudly as if she was panicked, "The concubine knows that Your Highness is unhappy now, but you can't slander others casually." In this capital, who doesn't know that you and the young lady of the Yan family are very affectionate, like glue. The concubine has already married a wife, if this word reaches the ears of the prince, then how can I live! β
As soon as these words came out, the busy guests and guys in the Yanyu Pavilion all stopped and looked at them in unison.
At this time, the corner of the man's mouth hooked up with a sneer, and his slender fingers held the teacup, looking at the show in front of him with interest.
This man has a clear atmosphere, although he is wearing plain clothes, he can't hide this innate nobility, and people are not ordinary people at a glance.
Yanyu Pavilion is not something that everyone can enter and exit at will, the people here are either rich or powerful, and people who have both money and power are also common.
Gong Haopu and Yan Ruling's peach blossom affairs have long been used by the people of the entire capital as a topic of conversation after cooking.
A group of people listened to Chu Xuewei's words at all, and looked at Gong Haopu who was down at the moment with disdain: A manly man, if you dare to do it, you must dare to be it, ruining the reputation of other girls, and not wanting to be responsible, it really makes the world laugh, he is still the emperor's son!
Gong Haopu heard the gossip in everyone's mouths, and he was very embarrassed for a while.
Since that day, Yan Ruling was watched by everyone, she nested at home, was depressed, and washed her face with tears all day long. I heard that last night, he even hanged himself, but fortunately, the next person found it early and saved a small life.
This news was known even to the emperor, who did not ask about the world and was bent on pursuing immortality.
The Yan family is not easy to offend, if it really annoys them, then Tanglin is afraid that it will be turbulent again, and the stable order that has been established with great difficulty will be destroyed again.
Therefore, the emperor issued a holy decree overnight, so that Gong Haopu and Yan Ruling would get married on a certain day, Yan Ruling is the daughter of the Yan family after all, in order to appease the Yan family, the wedding must be held Feng Feng Guangguang, give them enough face. As for Yan Ruming's out-of-control actions that day, after all, it was Gong Haopu's fault first, and the emperor couldn't say anything more, so he skipped it hastily.
As the prince of the East Palace, the future monarch of Tanglin, he is now dominated to come to Yanyu Pavilion to get medicine, and he is ridiculed in front of so many people, but he really has no face.
Gong Haopu was angry, his face was full of gloom, but he seemed to have something to say, he spit out for a long time, and said word by word: "It's you, Chu Xuewei!" I fell for your tricks to save you, and now my reputation is ruined! β
Chu Xuewei frowned slightly, her eyes full of disdain.
It's really cheap! I didn't think about it until something happened, and I was shameless!
Now he still regards himself as the mastermind of the whole thing, and he should be made to understand, otherwise if he vents his anger in the future, it will be more than worth the loss.
"Fell for my tricks?" Chu Xuewei looked puzzled.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that these are really wishing concubines! It was Chun Feng'er who led me to change clothes, and I just changed into a pair and hurried out. Who would have thought that you and Miss Yan would be ...... there?"
Chu Xuewei's voice came and went, and at the end of the sentence, she couldn't say it anymore with shame.
The innocent little face was raised, and she looked at Gong Haopu lightly, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
Gong Haopu was stunned, stood in place, and the whole person fell into deep thought. After a while, I had an epiphany as if I had just woken up from a big dream.
Looking at the swollen face like a pig's head, how can there be the usual handsomeness, it is really funny.
Gong Haopu figured everything out in an instant, with a terrible face that wanted to eat people, like a Shura in hell: Chu Xuewei still has some affection for herself no matter what she says, how can she accept that she and others are sympathetic?
Except for Chu Xuewei, only Xiao Yuqi is left, it is she who thinks about the princess day and night!
In the banquet hall, he once clearly warned her not to do things that harm others and herself.
After all, she didn't hear it in her ears, and came up with such a vicious plan, but she failed to bring down Chu Xuewei, but let herself plant such a big heel and carry this black cauldron.
The more Gong Haopu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he turned around and disappeared into the street without looking back.
His menacing appearance made everyone feel shocked. From this point of view, Xiao Yuqi's good life is probably coming to an end, she harmed Gong Haopu so humble, how could he let her go easily?
Chu Xuewei looked at Gong Haopu's rapidly disappearing shadow, instantly removed her ignorant look, replaced it with an indifferent face, and a trace of viciousness quickly crossed between her eyes, and turned around and disappeared. She raised her hand to summon in the dew that was guarding the door, "We should go back, I'm afraid we don't miss the part I want to see!" β
The dew drops don't know why, but looking at the happy expression on the master's face, I can also guess that someone must be about to have a disaster, and it's always right to follow the master, the master is happy, and she is naturally happy, so she went to prepare the carriage as instructed.
After Chu Xuewei got into the carriage, the masked man sitting in the corner stood up and looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away.
He stared at the direction in which Gong Haopu ran out, his eyes were cold, as if he had some deep hatred with him.
For a moment, he withdrew his vicious gaze and looked at the piece of paper in his hand, a trace of gloom crossed his eyebrows.
Then, he slowly moved to the counter, handed the piece of paper, and said to the guy inside, "Is this medicine available?" β
The guy who was reading the ledger at the moment took the list casually, and after reading the words on it clearly, he suddenly raised his head with a surprised expression, "I'll come when I go." β
As soon as the words fell, he quickly ran to the second floor, pushed open Ku Niang's room, and handed her the paper in his hand.
When Ku Niang saw the medicinal materials recorded on the list, her eyes lit up instantly: I didn't expect this person to come so quickly, the princess said that she would visit in a few days, but as soon as she left with her front foot, this person came with her back foot. That's true.
Although it is still a little difficult to obtain these medicinal materials, if this transaction is completed, it will bring a lot of benefits, Ku Niang smiled happily.
She hooked her fingers, and the guy next to her immediately leaned forward, "You go and reply to him immediately, we have all these medicines, and if they are enough, as long as he has enough silver, we will not lack his medicinal materials." β
"Huh? But we don't seem to have puppet incense and candle dragons in our storehouse, right? β
As soon as the man's voice sounded in confusion, Ku Niang directly chose to ignore it.
I saw her go downstairs, go to the back yard, and shout to the guys who were still drinking and talking at the table: "I know how to drink all day, now I have something to do, hurry up and follow me!" β
Chu Xuewei quickly returned to the Nine Kings' Mansion, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw a few sneaky girls in front of the court looking around looking for something.
Luzhu looked at Chu Xuewei with a hint of displeasure, so she hurriedly stepped forward to reprimand, "What are you guys doing here, don't be good on an errand, be careful to send you to the backyard to chop wood." β
Honglian saw that it was Wang Fei who came back, and hurriedly ran forward in small steps; "Please also ask the princess to calm her anger, it's justγIt's just that we have some urgent matters that need to be returned."
"What's wrong?" Chu Xuewei looked at everyone's embarrassed expressions, and guessed for a while, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Honglian glanced at the back in great embarrassment, and said in a dark voice, "Master, Miss Hermione came not long after you left, and she also claimed to ask her master for her guilt, and the slaves couldn't persuade her to leave." β
