Chapter 190: Between the Two Women (1)
"If the general has done it, the minister must admonish. If you can't be listed, why should you be a minister? This is the duty of a minister. Cui Xian straightened up and was not afraid.
Gao Cheng was already pale and about to have a seizure, but after hearing Cui Xian's words, he died down again.
"Lord Lang, Cui Xian is not sensible, and he has spoken far away. Let's settle the matter of kinship first. Cui Jishu was afraid that Cui Xian would completely anger Gao Cheng, so he quickly brought the topic back to the matter of kissing.
This time, even Chen Yuankang could see that Cui Jishu's words were redundant.
"Can I decide the matter of kinship alone?" Gao Cheng glanced at Cui Jishu.
Cui Jishu was stunned, this is not like what the prince said. Marrying a side concubine, in fact, to put it bluntly, is marrying a concubine, does this still need to be decided by King Gao? But he suddenly realized that this matter is neither about King Gao nor about the Lord, and what really makes the prince embarrassed is the current princess and Princess Feng Yi Yuan Zhonghua.
"It's just a side concubine, presumably the princess won't embarrass Lord Lang for this little thing, right?" Cui Jishu said tentatively, his tone was like a general's fear.
Gao Cheng ignored him, slowly moved his body that had been sitting for a long time, left his waist and stood up slowly, and then looked at a few people condescendingly, "I heard that at the beginning, Yuwen Black Otter was going to establish Princess Rouran as the queen, and even the original queen of the Yuan Bao Torch was abolished." However, the son of Rouran, Bald Tujia, still dislikes this son of heaven and has no real power. Bald Tujia has such a bad appetite, can it be that now a princess and concubine can make Rouran grateful to Dade? ”
Yang Su followed and stood up, "General, Rouran is not Tuguhun, its momentum is great." I am fighting with the two great powers of Xikou, and the attitude of Rouran is very important, and the general should not be underestimated. If the general deposes Princess Feng Yi, and the new Princess Rouran is the princess, I can easily let Rouran help me, why not? The Lord must be willing, and the general does not have to worry. ”
Cui Jishu's heart jumped when he heard this, and he looked at Gao Cheng uneasily.
As he expected, Gao Cheng's brows furrowed, and his face became gloomy.
The greenhouse, which had been noisy just a moment ago, suddenly fell silent. There is a surging undercurrent hidden in the quiet. Abolishing Princess Feng Yi's position in the main room is not a matter of Gao Cheng and Yuan Zhonghua. This also represents a change in the relationship between the Gao and Yuan clans. If you get soft and lose it within the Xiao wall, this is not necessarily a good thing. However, at this time, Rouran's attitude is more important to Da Wei, and it may be that as long as it changes a little, it is a difference of a millimeter for Da Wei, a difference of thousands of miles. And in the long run, what Yang Su said makes sense, and Rouran's power should definitely not be underestimated.
The deeper layer is only Cui Jishu can see it most clearly. Can the prince really be ruthless enough to abolish Princess Feng Yi's position in the main room?
"Zunyan is right." Gao Cheng suddenly spoke, breaking the terrible silence. "Do things and follow the power, and you have to do it as a last resort."
No one spoke again. Cui Jishu was very surprised, he didn't expect the prince to say such a thing. Is it really going to abolish Princess Feng Yi? Let the Gao clan and the Yuan clan quarrel again? Is the prince really willing to abolish Princess Feng Yi in his heart? The prince can really be so decisive. But he also heard that the prince would not take this step unless he had to.
The slave who reported the news went out, and Yuan Yuyi had been lying on the bed. I don't feel sleepy, and I have to lie here patiently. First, I don't want to leave suspicions, making people think that she has approached the greenhouse to watch; Second, I don't want to be looked down upon, thinking that as soon as the general comes, he will immediately invite pets.
Tossing and turning, my heart is restless. I don't know how long it has been, but it feels like it's been a long, long time. I doubted it, did the general really come? As soon as this thought passed, curiosity immediately arose, and in the middle of the night, he brought so many confidants and ministers, what was the matter discussed? And for so long?
From no sleepiness to gradual sleepiness, as if sleeping not sleeping, just about to fall asleep, suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, slightly sharp and long, especially clear in the middle of the night. As if a signal had stimulated her nerves, Yuan Yuyi woke up immediately, and her sleepiness was driven clean again.
Knowing that it must be him coming, I couldn't help but feel my heart beat. Then he heard the magnetic and beautiful man's voice, and he ordered the slave maid who followed him to light the lamp, and his voice was deliberately lightened. Was he afraid of waking her up? Yuan Yuyi's heart trembled slightly.
After a while, Yuan Yuyi felt a warm light filling through the outside of the dormitory, so that her eyes were no longer blindly pitch black. She suddenly hesitated, should she get up immediately to greet her, or should she pretend to be asleep? Before she could make a decision, she had lost the opportunity to choose. The sleeping tent was suddenly opened, and she was not afraid of waking up the sleeping person, as if Gao Cheng knew that she had not been asleep. It turned out that she was wrong.
The lights poured in, and all at once they became much brighter. Yuan Yuyi couldn't bear the sudden light, and was stabbed so that she frowned and closed her eyes, and turned her head sideways. Before she could catch it, she felt that a person had already gone to the couch and was lying beside her. She slowly opened her eyes and turned around again. There was a bright light in front of her, and sure enough, it was Gao Cheng lying beside her and looking at her. He was wearing a soap-edged white gauze tunic with his hair tied up and not falling apart.
"Childe ......" Yuan Yuyi looked like she had just been woken up, her eyes were slightly confused, as if she hadn't figured out what was happening in front of her at all.
"It smells so good." Gao Cheng, who had just laid down, propped himself up slightly and lay on the side of the pillow, facing Yuan Yuyi who was lying down, he looked at her excitedly, and then searched with his eyes, as if he had found some surprise. It's so naughty that it doesn't look like the general who strategized and won a thousand miles just now.
Gao Cheng leaned over and half-pressed against Yuan Yuyi, sniffing her sideburns. He inhaled deeply, "oh ......" and exhaled long, a rare scent of flowers that made him smell particularly pleasant. "Tanuki, what kind of incense is this?" He asked with great interest.
"Childe didn't come for more than a month, he only asked about incense when he came, and he didn't care how much the raccoon slave missed Childe in his heart." Yuan Yuyi didn't answer his question, still lying motionless. Does he have her in his heart? As soon as this question popped up, she was taken aback. She cares about him, and she cares more about whether he thinks about her in his heart.
Gao Cheng listened to her question, looked at her pitiful appearance, and thought about it in his heart, after receiving a rod from the Taifu Mansion, he recuperated in the mansion, and he hadn't seen her for several days, so he thought she was also lonely. If he doesn't come, Dongbai Hall will be crowded. Her eyes were watery as she looked at him, and the lip fat on her lips was extraordinarily fresh, which made his heart move.
The distance was so close, Yuan Yuyi felt that those green eyes were so deep and full of evil aura that they were so beautiful, her heart beat wildly, and her face turned red. The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became ambiguous. She couldn't stand the burning gaze of him. So he spoke first to break the pressure. "The raccoon slave misses the son in his heart, but the son doesn't miss the raccoon slave, and he just talks to others for a long time......" The tone carries a sense of coquettishness and anger, which means that it is really intentional to pretend to be true, which will only make people feel tasteful, but will not make people feel disgusted.
Yuan Yuyi blurted out, but before she finished speaking, she felt that it was inappropriate in her heart, so she didn't say any more. The original smile on Gao Cheng's lips slowly faded, and he didn't know what he remembered. Yuan Yuyi keenly caught this suspicious information, she was suddenly scared in her heart, and quickly stretched out her arms to wrap her arms around Gao Cheng's neck, as if she was afraid that he would disappear in an instant. By the time I rubbed my lips against his cheeks and neck, the lipstick had already stained his skin and clothes.
Gao Cheng had already had a mind in his heart, but for some reason he suddenly remembered the princess Yuan Zhonghua in his heart, most of it was because he remembered what Cui Jishu and Yang Su said just now. But Zhuyu was in front, and the strange fragrance attacked people, and he was a little reluctant to leave. At this time, Yuan Yuyi relaxed her arms and said with grievances, "If the son has something to do, just go, the raccoon slave is only here waiting for the son." There was no resentment in his tone, so he just looked at Gao Cheng with a blank eye.
Gao Cheng was helpless, took the initiative to hug her tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Who said I was leaving?" "It's obviously not a mouthful, but what you say seems to be true.
The sky was almost dawn, and I didn't see the slaves and maids waiting for Lord Lang at the gate of the mansion to report back and forth, and Ah Jiao thought that Lord Lang must have gone to Dongbai Hall. I didn't see the princess summoning people in again, and Ah Jiao kept guarding outside. It was so quiet that there was no sound at all, and Ah Jiao was still not at ease, so she gently pushed the door in alone.
Yuan Zhonghua really didn't go to bed, he was still the same as when Ah Jiao went out a few hours ago, and his clothes were neat. It's just that he reclined on the couch and fell asleep, holding a jade flute in his hand. Ah Jiao knew that the jade flute was given to the princess after the prince broke the original one.
In the spring night, whether it is outside or indoors, there is still a chill, especially Yuan Zhonghua's postpartum disorder has not healed so far, and he drank too much alcohol in the palace yesterday. Looking at the tips of her eyebrows that were not completely relieved in her dreams, and I don't know if she felt cold, Ah Jiao felt extremely distressed.
I was just about to take the quilt and cover it for the princess, when I suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside, as if I was in a hurry. Ah Jiao was afraid of shocking the princess, so she quickly turned around and came out to see who it was and what was going on so early.
"Lord Lang is back!" It turned out that the slave and maid who were guarding the gate of the house rushed back, and hurriedly returned the news that made the master's mother wait all night.
But Ah Jiao hesitated. It's not dawn yet, who knows where Lord Lang came back from, why did he come back at this time? Don't do anything unpleasant elsewhere. If there is any unhappiness in the heart outside, you can't let the princess see the lord of Lang. Besides, maybe Lord Lang didn't come to the world, and the princess went here and went elsewhere, and it is unknown.
What I didn't expect was that when Ah Jiao was thinking about it, the slave reminded her in a low voice, "Master Lang is here!" There was excitement in his voice.
Ah Jiao was startled, and looked up to see that Shizi had already walked in front of her.
Gao Cheng looked refreshed, not like he was unhappy. Glancing at the closed door, she asked, "Isn't Madame awake yet?" ”
Although the sky was already bright at this time, it was not yet the time when Yuan Zhonghua usually got up in the morning, after all, it was still early in the morning.
"The mistress slept late last night and hasn't woken up yet." When Ah Jiao answered Lord Lang's question, she suddenly noticed that there were several marks on his cheeks, which were very unusual. It was the mark of a woman's lipstick. No one in the palace dared to be so careless and leave such a mark on Lord Lang.
Ah Jiao wanted to remind the world, but she didn't know how to remind her. Before she could think of what to say, Gao Cheng had already gone to the house where the princess Yuan Zhonghua lived. Ah Jiao hurriedly followed, who knew that the prince waved his hand, and she was not allowed to follow, so she pushed the door and went in.
Gao Cheng walked in, thinking that Yuan Zhonghua was still in the tent on the bed. Unexpectedly, through the curtain, I saw Yuan Zhonghua reclining on the couch and still asleep. She was well-dressed, obviously she didn't sleep all night, Gao Cheng was a little surprised. It's not hard to understand when you think about it, she is waiting for him. This discovery made him feel a surprise in his heart, and he felt a little heavy, and he actually felt sorry for her.
walked lightly to the couch, saw Yuan Zhonghua holding a jade flute in his hand, and remembered that this was a gift from him. Gao Cheng sat down opposite her and looked at Yuan Zhonghua, she didn't know that he was already sitting in front of her at this moment. He reached out and took the hand she held the jade flute. After touching it, he realized that Yuan Zhonghua's hand was very cold, so cold that it made him feel piercing. He gently took the hand and warmed her with his own.
Yuan Zhonghua suddenly opened his eyes, and at first glance, he saw Gao Cheng sitting in front of her, and he didn't reflect for a while, looking at him as if he didn't know him. He squeezed her hand a little harder, looked at her very tenderly and smiled, "Your hands are so cold, you can't take care of yourself so much, why are you asleep here?" ”
"Husband......" Yuan Zhonghua seemed to have just recognized him. Gao Cheng's hands were so warm, and she was cold all over her body at the moment. She sat up straight from a few miles with some difficulty, so that the distance between them was closer. But she felt that it was still far away. She involuntarily leaned forward again, but sat back in an instant. The scene outside the side hall that I saw yesterday resurfaced in front of me. She also knew that he might not have any other meaning to the Duchess of Taiyuan, but she couldn't tell why she was so uncomfortable. When did they become estranged? And why is it estranged?
"What's wrong?" Gao Cheng saw that she was a little uncomfortable, and she was full of worries, so he simply got up and sat next to her, and the two of them sat next to each other, and they were close all of a sudden.
Yuan Zhonghua raised his head to look at him. Gao Cheng looked at her and smiled as if he was fine. Yuan Zhonghua was sour and hot from his heart to his throat, his eyes were full of tears and he looked at him, he couldn't say anything, and called again, "Husband......" The voice was choked.
Gao Cheng didn't speak again, stretched out his arms and hugged her into his arms, full of gentle comfort. In fact, when he remembered the words about Heqin last night, he couldn't say that he didn't feel guilty when he saw her at the moment.
Yuan Zhonghua felt that this moment was extremely real, and his heart was already full of satisfaction. She leaned into his arms, and already felt a great compensation in her heart. Suddenly, I felt that as long as this was the case, with him, everything would be worth it.
