The distance from Xufu to Taoyuan is only one or two miles, less than an hour's foot, but Chen Yuanyuan slowly delayed for two hours before slowly returning to Xufu.

Hu Qi, who was guarding the guard, had been waiting impatiently and urged the subordinates of the Xu Mansion several times.

Fang Yuan sipped the tea with a calm expression, chatting with the Li family without a word. By the time Chen Yuanyuan returned to Xu's mansion late, the tea had already been changed twice.

Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan had dragged on for two hours to return to the Xu Mansion, it was extremely rude in front of Fang Yuan, so he hurriedly got up to meet her, took her slender hand, and asked, "Yuanyuan!" The Lord Regent has come to your door, and he's looking for you! ”

Chen Yuanyuan didn't ask and knew what Fang Yuan was doing on this trip, Hua Rong was as calm as water, and said lightly, "Mother, you should retreat first!" I'm here to receive the regent. ”

Li Shi lowered his voice and persuaded him, "Yuanyuan, don't provoke the regent again, and bring endless troubles to the Xu family!" ”

Although Fang Yuan's trip was in the name of asking about the successor, it was actually a private matter between him and Chen Yuanyuan, and when the Li family retreated, Hu Qi also retreated with Jinyiwei in a knowing and interesting way, leaving only Fang Yuan and Chen Yuanyuan in the lobby.

Chen Yuanyuan bowed to Fang Yuan Yingying, and said softly, "The concubine invited the regent several times before, but she couldn't invite her, why did the regent suddenly come to the cold house today?" I didn't inform the concubine earlier, and the concubine did not welcome her from afar, and asked the regent to atone for her sins. ”

Fang Yuan looked straight at the woman in front of him who didn't stop, she was late, but blamed Fang Yuan, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Yuanyuan, I heard that you agreed to His Royal Highness King Lu, and I am willing to go to Huai'an Mansion with His Royal Highness King Lu, but is there such a thing?!"

Chen Yuanyuan pursed his lips and chuckled, "Yes, this was seven or eight years ago, and the regent only got the news at this moment?!" It can be seen that the regent has never cared about Yuanyuan's affairs. ”

Fang Yuan was once again beaten by her back, and then he deeply felt this woman's sharp teeth, and smiled awkwardly, "I'm just curious, why Yuanyuan wants to go back on his word, he was unwilling to follow King Lu to Huai'an Mansion before, and now he has agreed to King Lu." ”

Chen Yuanyuan chuckled a few times, his voice was like a warbler's cry, and he said unhurriedly, "Isn't the regent also going back on his word, he obviously rejected Yuanyuan before, and he didn't want to marry Yuanyuan into the palace, and now he came to scare the people of Xu's mansion." ”

Fang Yuan was once again dumbfounded by her, she kept looking at him left and right, and she was also annoyed, she restrained her smile and said, "Yuanyuan, you put down the peach garden and welfare lottery industry, and follow King Lu to Huai'an Mansion, this is by no means a joke, there is no turning back when you open the bow!" ”

Chen Yuanyuan is good at observing words and feelings, since Fang Yuan was slightly annoyed, she didn't laugh anymore, and said solemnly, "Regent, I don't joke with you either, the reason why I agreed to His Royal Highness King Lu is that I don't want to repeat Liu Ruyi's mistakes." ”

She suddenly moved out of Liu Ru is matter, Fang Yuan's eyes flashed, and her anger was gradually rising, and she asked in a deep voice, "This matter has something to do with Liu Ru is matter?!" ”

Chen Yuanyuan stared at his slightly angry cheeks, and said without giving in, "Since Liu Ru was contaminated with the regent, it is really difficult to ride a tiger!" forced Qian Qianyi to divorce his wife for the time being, but now she wants to enter the palace, and the regent will not give her a title; If you want to find another son-in-law, the regent and her romance are well known, who dares to touch the regent's tiger beard, no matter the officials and talents in Jiangnan, they are all far away. Regent, ask yourself, is Liu Ru doing miserably now, or is she not miserable?! Yuanyuan wants to avoid repeating her mistakes, what's wrong?! ”

"In the final analysis, the regent values both identity and face, but his possessiveness is incomparably strong. He didn't want to marry me and Liu Ru into the house, and he didn't allow us to contact other men. A dignified regent, who wants to possess beauty in his heart, but looks forward and backward, dragging mud and water, and is no different from those rotten Confucians who come to Peach Garden to be pretending to be serious. ”

Chen Yuanyuan's words were quite straightforward, precisely because they were too straightforward, they were in one sentence, and they hit Fang Yuan's inner thoughts. has long classified Liu Ruis and Chen Yuanyuan as his women, even if he can't marry him, he won't allow other men to get involved.

Fang Yuan trembled, he was exposed by Chen Yuanyuan, he couldn't get off the stage, he swept the teacup to the ground with a blue face, got up angrily, and scolded, "Chen Yuanyuan, you dare to compare me to an old rotten Confucian, it's bold!" ”

"Bang!"

The two teacups immediately shattered, Chen Yuanyuan looked at the broken teacups, and said with tears in his eyes, "Regent, a woman's best years are only a few years, and those of us who are born in Qinglou are even more youthful meals." If we don't take advantage of the prime of life to find a good home, and wait for the old pearl to be yellow, who will ask us whether we live or die? If Yuanyuan is now a forty or fifty-year-old lady, the regent will rush to Xu's mansion to ask for the crime? ”

She wiped the tears that ran across her cheeks, whimpered and said, "Yuanyuan just wants to ask the regent to raise his noble hand and let Yuanyuan go!" ”

Fang Yuan stared at her glamorous Tianzi and national beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, the pitiful pear blossoms with rain, and the complaining warbler's pleading, and the anger in his heart gradually extinguished.

Chen Yuanyuan had already seen through the affairs of men and women in the dust, so he would take the initiative to propose to Fang Yuan to marry into the palace and enter the haven in advance. After being rejected by Fang Yuan, he had to turn to Zhu Yihai. In terms of reasoning, this matter was also Fang Yuan's rejection of her first, she promised Zhu Yihai to be behind, to say who was wrong, first Fang Yuan was wrong.

Fang Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and asked with a sigh, "King Lu agreed to marry you into the palace?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness King Lu promised me to accept me into the palace from the main gate of the palace during the day." ”

Fang Yuan sighed secretly when he heard this, Zhu Yihai really fought hard to get the beauty, and even left the prince's face behind, and even promised Chen Yuanyuan, a woman in a green building, to enter the palace from the main entrance.

The matter has come to this point, now that Chen Yuanyuan has made a choice, Fang Yuan is reluctant to her, and he has nothing to say. When Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty saw Wang Zhaojun's true face, he was also very reluctant, but he still agreed to the proposal to send Wang Zhaojun to the Xiongnu and his relatives.

Compared with the foundation of the country, the private relationship of children is really insignificant.

Fang Yuan's anger was completely gone, and he slowly got up and walked in front of Chen Yuanyuan, "Okay, Yuanyuan, you can go to Huai'an Mansion with King Lu!" Peach Garden, the Xu family's green building industry, and the welfare lottery industry, recommended by the Xu family to come to the palace for review. After the review is passed, the delegation will be carried out. ”

He arranged for Chen Yuanyuan to leave, the aftermath of the peach garden, the green building, and the welfare lottery industry, and strode towards the main entrance of the lobby. ”

In the poems he chanted, he frankly confessed his admiration for Chen Yuanyuan's stunning appearance, and even sighed that the beauty is easy to grow old, and he will not force it to stay.

Chen Yuanyuan listened to the verses he chanted, and his delicate body trembled slightly, and he should chant behind him, "Persuade the monarch not to cherish the golden clothes, and persuade the monarch to cherish the youth, when the flowers bloom and must be folded, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches." ”

Fang Yuan just walked to the door of the lobby and listened to Chen Yuanyuan's poems, which was to persuade him not to be bound by those worldly identities and reputations, rules and regulations, and to enjoy the beauty when he was a teenager, and not to reminisce about the past when he missed it.

Fang Yuan stopped, his face twitched slightly, and his heart was full of emotions.

After a long time, Fang Yuan finally sighed and said softly, "Yuanyuan, let's do it for yourself!" ”

Fang Yuan threw down this last sentence, strode away, and left the lobby. Chen Yuanyuan was left standing alone in the lobby, tears coming out of his eyes again and crossing his cheeks.
