Chapter 35: Pride

A string of footsteps broke the embarrassing atmosphere, and Xiao Luzi walked in and bent over to Yan Yumo quickly, and said in a low voice: "Shengshang, Niangniang is here." ”

It is said that there are three thousand beauties in the harem, but in Yan Yumo's harem, there is only Fang Caiwu, which makes outsiders feel strange.

At first, everyone was curious, and then gradually a saying spread that the saint was dedicated to the queen and favored the queen, so he didn't choose a concubine. But only Fang Caiwu knew that Yan Yumo was doing this for another person entirely, that is, Fang Jinyi.

"Let her in."

Yan Yumo glanced at Fang Jinyi, then walked to the dragon chair and sat down, watching Fang Caiwu walk in with her personal maid Su Zhi.

"The concubine has seen the saint."

Fang Caiwu walked to the center and bowed to Yan Yumo, glanced at Fang Zihuai next to him by the way, and when he turned his head again, the smile on his face instantly froze.

"Du Yue has seen Niangniang." Fang Jinyi bowed and saluted, not flustered at all when facing Fang Caiwu.

Fang Caiwu looked at her with straight eyes, a little at a loss for a moment, "Excuse me...... Excuse me. ”

"Why are you here?"

Fang Caiwu came back to his senses, retracted his surprised gaze, looked at Yan Yumo and said, "The concubine heard that the county lord of Dongli Kingdom had arrived, so she thought of coming over to see her. ”

Yan Yumo looked at her expressionlessly, then looked at Fang Jinyi and said, "This is the county lord of Dongli Kingdom, Du Yue." ”

Fang Caiwu turned to face Fang Jinyi, looked at her carefully, and finally determined that this was her second sister, Fang Jinyi.

"Dongli is far away from the southern country, and the county lord has been tired along the way, so you don't have to care about etiquette, please sit down." Fang Caiwu said with a smile, since Fang Jinyi wants to pretend to be Du Yue, and Yan Yumo has the intention to cover for her, then she will fulfill them.

"Xie Niangniang."

Fang Jinyi saluted and walked to the chair next to Fang Zihuai and sat down, while Fang Caiwu sat in the position where she had sat before, which was closer to Yan Yumo and more in line with her identity.

"Zihuai, when did you come back?"

"Yu Niangniang, I just arrived in the capital today, and I immediately entered the palace after receiving the order." Fang Zi replied in a proper manner.

Fang Caiwu chuckled lightly and said, "There are no outsiders here, you and I are sisters and brothers, so you don't have to be so restrained." ”

Fang Zihuai's face became a little unnatural, and he nodded silently, indicating that he knew.

Fang Caiwu looked at him with a smile, although she had always felt that Fang Zihuai was stupid, but he was also her younger brother, not to mention that he had made meritorious contributions on the battlefield some time ago, maybe Yan Yumo let him enter the palace at this moment to reward him.

Yan Yumo looked at Fang Jinyi, and then the other party Caiwu said: "Next, the county lord will live in the palace for a period of time, and live in Liufang Garden in the West Palace." ”

"Nishinomiya Ryufangen?" Fang Caiwu looked at him with some surprise, wasn't that ......

Yan Yumo frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What? Do you think I'm not arranging it well? ”

Fang Caiwu hurriedly shook his head and explained, "No, it's just that Xigong Liufangyuan is not where Eniang lived?" Isn't it inappropriate to let the county lord live in it? ”

Yan Yumo looked at her expressionlessly, and after a while, he said, "That's it." You take the county lord out for a walk first, and Zihuai and I have something to discuss. ”

"Yes."

Fang Caiwu and Fang Jinyi got up and saluted, and then exited the imperial study together, and Xiao Tao, who was waiting outside the door, saw them and immediately stepped forward to Fang Jinyi's side.

"Who are you?"

Xiao Tao knelt down and saluted Fang Caiwu, bowed her head and said respectfully: "Yu Niangniang, the slave is the county lord's maid, named Xiao Tao." ”

Fang Caiwu glanced at Fang Jinyi, and then smiled lightly: "Get up." ”

"Xie Niangniang."

"County Lord, I'll take you around, this palace is very big. The county lord must be accompanied by someone for the first time, otherwise he will get lost. Fang Caiwu smiled, and even reached out to pull Fang Jinyi's hand very affectionately.

Fang Jinyi quietly avoided Fang Caiwu's hand, and looked at her without any fluctuations in her eyes, "I'm tired of my mother." ”

Even though he was unhappy in his heart, because there were many people around, Fang Caiwu had to endure it.

Along the way, Fang Caiwu always probed Fang Jinyi's tone intentionally or unintentionally, asking her why she came to Nanguo for a while, and asking her if she had any relatives for a while, but Fang Jinyi avoided the questions one by one.

Fang Caiwu felt more and more that he had guessed wrong, because the person in front of him was completely different from Fang Jinyi in speech and demeanor, except for looking like Fang Jinyi.

"Don't hide it from the county lord, you look very much like my sister, the first time I saw it in the imperial study, I thought I was dazzled."

Fang Caiwu finally stopped being vain and wronged, she didn't have the patience to play Tai Chi with Fang Jinyi here, she wanted to find out if this person was Fang Jinyi as soon as possible.

Fang Jinyi naturally knew what Fang Caiwu had in mind, and she really didn't want to hide her identity as Fang Jinyi. However, when I saw the panic in Fang Caiwu's eyes when I was in the imperial study, I thought it was a little funny, so I just wanted to tease her.

With a light smile, Fang Jinyi looked at Fang Caiwu, who was secretly looking at her, and said, "Niangniang is too worried." ”

Fang Caiwu looked at her puzzled, and was about to speak, but saw Fang Zihuai suddenly come over, first saluted her, and then said to Fang Jinyi: "I'm going out of the palace, what else does the county lord have to order?" ”

"Xiao Tao, you go back to the General's Mansion with Gongzi Fang and bring Sheng Sheng into the palace." Fang Jinyi looked at Xiao Taodao, ignoring Fang Caiwu who looked surprised.

"Yes, County Lord."

Fang Zihuai bent down to Fang Jinyi and clenched his fists, "Then let's go back first, if there is anything wrong with the county lord, he will send a message to me." ”

Fang Jinyi nodded, and waited until the two left, then looked at Fang Caiwu, and saw that she was still looking at herself in surprise, and couldn't help laughing: "Niangniang, what's wrong?" Why are you looking at me like that? ”

Fang Caiwu came back to his senses, looked at Fang Jinyi with a smile on his face, and frowned: "Who are you?" ”

"Didn't Niangniang guess it a long time ago?" Fang Jinyi took a few steps forward, turned to look at her, and said with the corners of her mouth raised: "After two years, how is the third sister doing?" ”

Suddenly, the aura around Fang Caiwu became much colder, she squinted, and then waved away all the palace maids and eunuchs, including Su Zhi.

"It's really you."

Fang Jinyi looked at Fang Caiwu and nodded, "Yes, it's me, I'm back." ”

"When I first heard the news of your departure, I knew that you would come back one day, but I didn't expect you to come back so quickly, and you came back with a different identity." Fang Caiwu walked around Fang Jinyi, looked at her carefully, and sneered: "County Lord? What method did you use to make the king of Dongli Kingdom give you such an identity? ”

Fang Jinyi shook his head with a smile and said, "You are wrong, I didn't change my identity, but I am the county lord of Dongli Kingdom, this is destined early on, and it has nothing to do with what happens next." ”

"Really? So, you're not really your father's daughter, you're a ...... Bastard. Fang Caiwu said with a disdainful face, looking at Fang Jinyi's eyes with mockery.

Fang Jinyi looked down at the peony flower in full bloom, stretched out his hand to pick one, and put it in front of him to watch it carefully, "I advise you to speak a little politely, after all, my current identity is not ordinary, and I am here to represent Dongli this time." Don't be like your mother, just trying to be happy for a while, but in the end, you can't get angry, but you will be slapped. ”

As soon as Fang Caiwu heard her words, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean?" Fang Jinyi looked at her with a light smile, "What kind of virtue is your mother, I guess you know it very well in your heart, do you say that she will be respectful when she sees me?" Even if I am the county lord of Dongli Kingdom. ”

Fang Caiwu looked at her with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Jinyi, no matter how you say that she is also your elder, aren't you afraid of shaking your position in your father's heart by doing this?" ”

"Elders?" Fang Jinyi sneered, "If you want me to admit that she is an elder, then she has to look like an elder." Besides, what kind of status I have in my father's heart, I think you know very well, even if I dispose of your mother today, my father will not say anything. ”

"Your status in Daddy's heart is indeed incomparable to us. But don't forget, my mother is the general's wife, no matter what, my father will not favor you for no reason. ”

Fang Jinyi looked at the domineering Fang Caiwu, chuckled and shook his head, "You're right, your mother is the general's wife after all, and it's really a little unreasonable for me to deal with her as a junior." But if she does something wrong, she won't be spared because of her identity. Even if I don't care, my father won't condone it. ”

Looking at the calm Fang Jinyi, Fang Caiwu had a bad premonition in his heart, and frowned: "What did my mother do?" ”

Fang Jinyi's face suddenly became gloomy, and her eyes became cold and deep, "She burned Youjin Yuan." ”

Fang Caiwu frowned, looked at Fang Jinyi fiercely and said, "So what? It's just a yard that has been abandoned for many years, and my mother is the general's wife, can't you burn down an abandoned yard? ”

"You've been a queen for two years, and your temperament hasn't changed at all." Fang Jinyi sneered and mocked.

Fang Caiwu showed a cheerful look and said with a smile: "Aren't you the same?" It will always be only behind the scenes that those unseemly means. Do you think Yumo will still protect you like before? I tell you, he is now the king of the southern kingdom, and he has the safety of millions of people on his shoulders, and he will not give up the entire southern kingdom for you. Don't think that Su Muqiu can still help you, now that he has a feud with the imperial court, it is difficult to protect himself, just ...... you" Fang Caiwu glanced at Fang Jinyi up and down, and sneered: "It's just a concubine, I don't think he will give up everything for you." ”

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, Fang Jinyi looked at Fang Caiwu indifferently, and finally sneered.

"You're thinking too much." Fang Jinyi approached Fang Caiwu with a smile, stood in front of her, looked at her close face, and hooked the corners of her mouth.

"I never needed protection."
