Chapter 124: Exploitation
Sun Yu was very polite, he only brought one entourage with him, and he was considered to be obedient when he arrived at the county lord's mansion: "What about your county lord?" ”
Hao Xue looked at him with a gentle appearance, and her heart was even more irritable: "The county lord is still resting, I'm afraid I will make His Royal Highness the prince wait for a long time." ”
"It's okay, I'll go to the flower hall and wait." He whispered, and then went to the flower hall on his own.
Sun Yu naturally has Zhao Guifei's eyeliner by his side, and now Sun Yu came to the county lord's mansion with such fanfare, and walked so close to Yunyan, which really made Zhao Guifei feel a little headache.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Guifei finally made a will, and announced Zhao Mingsheng to the palace on the grounds of missing her nephew.
This can be regarded as a mistake that helped Zhao Mingsheng get out of the state of being imprisoned by his mother, he almost happily changed his clothes, and then embarked on the road to the palace to meet Zhao Guifei under Sun Ying's somewhat unwilling gaze.
After a long palace road and many more salutes, Zhao Mingsheng arrived at Zhao Guifei's palace.
"Sit down," Zhao Guifei was dressed extremely luxuriously, she slowly sat on the main seat of the hall, took the tea handed by the palace maid, and then frowned slightly: "Do you know, what did the palace call you over?" ”
How do I know what you called me for, and I'm not a roundworm in your stomach. Zhao Mingsheng scolded like this, but a smile gradually appeared on his face: "The father-in-law who passed the decree said that you miss your nephew." ”
"Hmph," Zhao Guifei snorted coldly, Zhao Mingsheng, a nephew, went out a lot more flamboyant than before, but she was not easy to fool: "You have been trapped at home by your mother these days?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Mingsheng was not surprised at all, after all, as a noble concubine and with such great ambitions, she knew that it was normal for her mother to be locked up in the mansion, after all, her eyeliner was everywhere.
"Niangniang Mingjian," Zhao Mingsheng smiled awkwardly: "Mother's order, Mingsheng is really difficult to disobey." ”
"Rubbish!" Zhao Guifei shouted angrily: "Do you know that Yunyan wants to open a restaurant in the capital, you are not here these days, but Sun Yu often goes to the county lord's mansion, looking very courteous, and the outside world is rumored that Sun Yu has taken a fancy to the county lord of Yunyan." ”
Zhao Mingsheng was slightly stunned, these days he was trapped in the mansion is indeed incomprehensible, and he doesn't know anything about the outside world at all, although he has been worried about Yunyan, but he really didn't expect that Sun Yu would go to make friends with Yunyan.
But that's just right!
"Concubine Niangniang, you also know, my mother really doesn't agree with my marriage with Yunyan, and I am also trying to catch Yunyan, but my mother obstructed me and locked me up in the house, and I can't help it." Zhao Mingsheng looked aggrieved, and he could see that the temperament in Zhao Guifei's heart had disappeared a lot.
"Okay, this palace knows that your mother is stubborn," for Sun Ying, Zhao Guifei also had a little headache, she frowned: "You can rest assured to get along with Yunyan, as long as you can prevent Sun Yu from befriending Yunyan, this palace will naturally talk to you more in front of the emperor, and your family affairs with Yunyan should also be put on the agenda." ”
Zhao Mingsheng was waiting for this sentence, although he wouldn't really do anything to Sun Yu, but since Zhao Guifei said so, he should definitely make good use of this.
"Ming Sheng thanked the concubine!" Zhao Mingsheng thanked him knowingly, and then chatted casually, and Zhao Guifei asked Zhao Mingsheng to retire on the grounds that she was unwell and needed to rest.
Zhao Mingsheng, who left the palace, was like a bird that had been released from the cage, humming a little song and going to the county lord's mansion in Yunyan.
The porter knew Zhao Mingsheng, but he hadn't been here for a long time, and he was a little surprised at first glance: "Zhao Gongzi!" When he reacted, he directly welcomed Zhao Mingsheng in.
Zhao Mingsheng was familiar with the road and wanted to go to Yunyan's yard, but he didn't want to meet Haoxue halfway: "Yo, isn't this Zhao Gongzi?" What wind is blowing you in? ”
Haoxue stopped Zhao Mingsheng, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with his lack of appearance for a long time.
"Haoxue!" Zhao Mingsheng smiled and patted Hao Xue's shoulder: "I really have a hard time during this time, so I can't come to see Xiao Yunyan from time to time, so don't be angry with me!" ”
Hao Xue waved away the hand he slapped on his shoulder, ignored him, and only looked at the little guy who brought Zhao Mingsheng in and said: "There is a county lord and his daughter living in the backyard, how can the guests be brought directly to the backyard without being passed on?" If it spreads, what will happen to the reputation of the county lord? ”
That little guy slandered, didn't Zhao Gongzi go directly to the backyard to find the county lord every time he came before? What's more, isn't there still a rumor outside, saying that the emperor is about to give marriage to the county lord and Zhao Gongzi? How could it be said in Hao Xue's mouth, as if Zhao Gongzi and the county lord were ordinary friends, or just two people who knew each other, and they didn't have any friendship?
But he thought about it like this, but he didn't dare to refute it, so he only bowed his head and said, "Then I'll invite Zhao Gongzi to wait in the flower hall." ”
"Go ahead." Hao Xue nodded with satisfaction.
Zhao Mingsheng looked at Hao Xue as if he was unwilling to deal with him, and he was also interested, I am afraid that Hao Xue's attitude towards him now is the same as Yunyan's attitude towards him, it seems that if he wants to restore the previous relationship, he will have to spend some thought.
The little guy took Zhao Mingsheng to the flower hall to wait, after all, his identity is here, and the people don't dare to slack off.
Zhao Mingsheng was also patient, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't show any impatience.
After the time of the two teas passed, Yunyan was late, she sat directly on the main seat, straightened her clothes before slowly speaking: "Zhao Gongzi is a rare guest." ”
Zhao Mingsheng's heart sank slightly, sure enough, Yun Yan was angry that he hadn't appeared for a long time, and from the side, it also showed that Yun Yan still cared about him very much.
"Xiao Yunyan~" Zhao Mingsheng saw that everyone had retreated, took two steps forward, walked in front of Yunyan, and his tone was unconsciously gentler: "Don't be angry, I haven't come for so long because I'm trapped in the house, you know, my mother's person is very stubborn." ”
Yunyan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Since Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't like me, then don't think about this marriage again, lest the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law make people laugh at it in the future." ”
Hearing the discord between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Zhao Mingsheng was not angry, but felt a little happy, after all, Yunyan thought of their married life.
"Xiao Yunyan~" Zhao Mingsheng pulled Yunyan's sleeve and shook it: "Don't be unhappy, I'll come often in the future." ”
Yunyan shook off Zhao Mingsheng's hand: "What do I have to be unhappy about, who wants you to come often!" After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only Zhao Mingsheng looking at her back and sneering.
After a period of time, Zhao Mingsheng really fulfilled his promise and ran to the county lord's mansion almost every day, but Yunyan didn't give him a good face.
It's just that Zhao Mingsheng was not annoyed, and only collected some good gadgets as gifts for Yunyan, after all, he felt that girls, whether ancient or modern, needed to be coaxed.
Yunyan received those small gifts, and her heart was somewhat sweet, but now she was really a little conflicted.
"What are you hesitating about?" Hao Xue saw Yunyan staring at these gifts in a daze, and she was a little puzzled: "Zhao Mingsheng is like this to you now, just to take advantage of his liking for you, isn't it?" "Her man's love for women won't last long, so she should take advantage of Zhao Mingsheng's current liking for Yunyan and make more use of him.
But Yunyan refused to agree: "Although he is not a good person, he is not a bad person in the final analysis, his heart is still good, if I want to use him, especially his feelings to achieve my goals, I am still a little guilty." Yunyan said and sighed slightly: "At least now I am not fully prepared to use Zhao Mingsheng. ”
Haoxue raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't say anything, she has always seen Zhao Mingsheng's affection for Yunyan, and sometimes she envies Yunyan, there is such a man who doesn't care about the world and takes good care of her, but she has her mission and tasks, so she has to persuade Yunyan more and let Yunyan focus on the overall situation.
But now, it seems that Yunyan has also been moved by Zhao Mingsheng.
"Do you really like him?" Haoxue asked softly, and when she saw Yunyan's face was slightly sluggish, she knew that her guess was correct.
"How is it possible, I just think that when I was injured, when I returned to the capital, and when this mansion needed to be taken care of, he almost helped me, so I was a little grateful to him." Yunyan subconsciously denied it, but it was very clear in his heart that in addition to gratitude, there were some strange feelings that became clearer and clearer.
Hao Xue looked at her expression, and saw her flustered appearance when she explained, and became more and more sure of her inner thoughts, but this kind of thing is not something that her identity can take care of at will.
After a while, Haoxue spoke again: "I heard that Zhao Mingsheng was able to come out this time, or Zhao Guifei made a move, you said that you were grateful, guilty, and didn't want to use Zhao Mingsheng, but how do you know that Zhao Mingsheng didn't use you?" ”
"I ......" Hearing Haoxue say this, Yunyan was speechless, she believed in Zhao Mingsheng, so she told Zhao Mingsheng all those things before, but she had to guard against Zhao Mingsheng, after all, this man was very close to Zhao Guifei and Sun Yu, and she had to guard against some things.
Haoxue looked at Yunyan's hesitant appearance, knowing that she had listened to her reminder, so it was enough to talk about it here.
"You can rest well, I'm afraid Zhao Mingsheng will come tomorrow, and I will have to toss when the time comes," Hao Xue instructed, and checked the original wound for Yunyan before turning around and preparing to leave: "I'll come to see you tomorrow morning." ”
Yunyan nodded and watched Hao Xue leave, but after Hao Xue's figure disappeared, her gaze did not retract for a long time.
"Do you really have to use it......" Yunyan muttered softly, sighing very clearly in the night.
