Chapter 108: Asking for a Concubine



Jiang Hanyu sat in his room, full of anger and nowhere to vent.

Now, although months have passed since that incident, it is still like an indelible wound in her heart, bleeding all the time.

It was Yun Xiangrong who was obviously calculating, but in the end the retribution was on herself, who can understand the pain in her heart?

There is as much hatred as there is pain, and she can't wait to peel off Yun Xiangrong's skin and cramp at the moment.

But she couldn't do anything, couldn't do it.

That's what she hates!

When Jiang Hanyu was angry, her personal maid Qingtao hurriedly walked in from outside, and looked vigilantly at the outside to see if someone was snooping, and then closed the door.

"Madame, I've got a letter." Qingtao said respectfully, took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Hanyu.

Jiang Hanyu opened the letter and read it, and finally smiled coldly, as if mocking.

"I didn't expect Huo Chen and Yun Xiangrong to be in private contact, Huo Chen actually stabbed this matter in front of everyone, vainly trying to marry Yun Xiangrong as a concubine, it's really beautiful!" Jiang Hanyu said coldly.

"King Zhennan actually wants to marry a young lady as a concubine? The green peach on the side is very incredible.

Maybe it was Qingtao's words that stinged Jiang Hanyu, and her extremely condensed gaze fell directly on Qingtao's body, Qingtao trembled and didn't dare to speak again.

"Green peach. Come here, I have something to tell you to do. Jiang Hanyu's face was slightly cold, and he opened his mouth low.

Qingtao hurriedly came to Jiang Hanyu's face, listened to her instructions, and kept nodding.

In the end, Jiang Hanyu sent Qingtao to do things, while Jiang Hanyu himself was sitting in the same place, with coldness in his eyes.

Yun Xiangrong, you have harmed me so far, you don't want to have a good life!

At this moment, Yun Xiangrong didn't know that Jiang Hanyu was secretly busy with her, and was still busy with her own affairs.

There is Fufeng in the Wandering Garden, so she doesn't have to worry about it at all, and the medical hall has Sun Sheng, so she doesn't have to worry about it, what she is busy with now is about Huo Chen.

Huo Chen wants to rebuild the Biannan Army, and he has to personally select people to go to a secret base to train troops, and he is afraid that he will not come back for several months.

She thought that she had never given Huo Chen anything, so she took matters into her own hands and made a bracer for him.

For several days in a row, Yun Xiangrong was closed and busy rushing to work.

When Yun Xiangrong finally made the bracers, Xiao Qi also came to the door.

"Sister, what are you busy with?" When Xiao Qi came, he happened to see Yun Xiangrong packing up the needle and thread, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Nothing." Yun Xiangrong shook his head, he didn't plan to tell Xiao Qi, and asked again: "Why did you have time today." ”

"Brother Chen is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, sister forgot? Xiao Qi heard that the fourth brother said that he was practicing for Brother Chen in Xiangmanke today, so he asked the imperial grandmother to let me come out. Xiao Qi said.

Yun Xiangrong was stunned, he said before that he would leave in three days, and today is the third day!

"What, doesn't my sister know?" Xiao Qi asked strangely.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for Yun Xiangrong not to know about this kind of thing!

"No, I don't think about it." Yun Xiangrong covered up a sentence and said a few words to Xiao Qi, and the two went to Xiangmanke together.

Yun Xiangrong and Xiao Qi had just arrived at Xiangmanke, and before they arrived at the box, they met someone that Yun Xiangrong didn't want to meet.

The second prince, King Xiang!

"What a coincidence, I was able to meet Xiao Qi and Princess Xiangrui here." King Xiang greeted him with a smile.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Xiang."

"I've seen the second emperor brother."

Yun Xiangrong and Xiao Qi saluted at the same time.

"It's all my own family, so I don't have to be polite." King Xiang spoke.

Yun Xiangrong: Who is your own family with you

Yun Xiangrong didn't like King Xiang very much, and he didn't like the gaze he looked at, it was a kind of evil and presumptuous gaze.

The memory of King Xiang in her previous life was too thin, as if she had no impression at all, and Yun Xiangrong was not even sure how he would end up in the end, so she could only deal with King Xiang with her understanding of him in this life.

"The second emperor brother also came to Xiangmanchu for dinner." Xiao Qi seemed to sense Yun Xiangrong's dislike, stood in front of Yun Xiangrong, and talked to King Xiang with a smile.

Xiao Qi is not very old, and he has a delicate and lovely face, which makes people feel a little softer about him.

King Xiang's attitude towards Xiao Qi seems to be the same. "Well, I made an appointment with a friend, do you want Xiao Qi and Xiangrui to be together? This king is in for a treat. ”

"No need for the second emperor brother, we have made an appointment with the fourth brother and Brother Chen to have a meal, but it is not okay to miss the appointment. Taifu said that a gentleman should treat others with faith. Xiao Qi blinked and said seriously.

Yun Xiangrong silently watched Xiao Qi and King Xiang talking, lowered his head slightly and looked at Xiao Qi's innocent expression, and always felt that Xiao Qi had matured a lot.

She is very familiar with Xiao Qi, and she also understands Xiao Qi's various states, Xiao Qi at this moment, clearly smiles are not up to the bottom of her eyes, that is to say, Xiao Qi, like her, does not like this Xiang King, but Xiao Qi can perfectly hide her emotions and respond with a smile, even if the smile does not reach the bottom of her eyes, but this performance can already hide from others.

"I knew what a gentleman said at a young age, not bad." King Xiang smiled and nodded, as if he really admired Xiao Qi.

He was no longer entangled with Xiao Qi, and said to Yun Xiangrong: "Xiao Qi must abide by the courtesy of a gentleman, Xiangrui is a woman, there are not so many rules, let's go, how about a drink with this king?" ”

said that it was a question, but he stretched out his hand to Yun Xiangrong, and he actually wanted to pull Yun Xiangrong away in person.

Xiao Qi was anxious, and Yun wanted to retreat, but a big hand grabbed King Xiang's hand faster.

That hand was like an iron hoop, imprisoning King Xiang's hand and not moving a single bit.

A cold voice slowly sounded: "His Royal Highness King Xiang is not afraid of being criticized for such a move!" ”

Looking up along that hand, Huo Chen's face came into view.

Yun Xiangrong saw Huo Chen, smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to pull himself behind him.

"This king just invited Princess Xiangrui to have lunch together, so what's the point?" King Xiang seemed to be smiling, and said: "Besides, the man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, what if it is hot?" It's a big deal that this king asks his father for a decree to marry Xiangrui as a side concubine, so what's the difficulty? Or. King Zhennan thinks that you have shown your heart for Xiangrui, and she is your person? ”

This blatant clamor was as hateful as the thing that stabbed Huo Chen and Yun Xiangrong in the main hall a few days ago.

For King Xiang, that time Xiao Xiangyun wanted to be Rong but failed, but was beaten with a stick, although he didn't see who the other party was, but later Huo Chen appeared at the scene of Yun Xiangrong's rape, saying that it was not Huo Chen, and he didn't believe it himself.

And Huo Chen was also particularly disgusted with Xiao Xiangyun's appearance when King Xiang, if it weren't for the overall situation. He killed King Xiang in the first place.

The two met together for the first time in front of Yun Xiangrong, looking at each other without giving in, with coldness and murder in their eyes.

The stalemate between the two attracted onlookers, and there were already people standing there not far away pointing at this place, and Yun Xiangrong frowned slightly.

At this moment, a slightly feminine voice sounded.

"What is Your Highness doing? After a long delay, the distinguished guests have been waiting for a long time. When everyone heard the sound, they only felt that their eyes lit up.

Appearing not far away was a man in white, his appearance seemed very soft, his facial features were not as handsome as the man next to him, and he frowned slightly. There is a feeling of beauty and delicateness. He was dressed as a man, and the Adam's apple between his throats protruded, indicating his identity.

When Huo Chen saw the man, his pupils stretched out and shrank unconsciously. The person in front of him is Murong Xiao, the strategist that King Xiang has relied on very much recently!

According to the spies' report, this Xiang King has been like a tiger after getting Murong Xiao, and it has been smooth sailing recently. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name.

"It's nothing, I happened to meet the king of Zhennan, and I just said a few more words." King Xiang smiled lazily, gave up fighting with Huo Chen's eyes, and said with a light smile: "King Zhennan still doesn't let go?" ”

Huo Chen let go of his hand, took out a sweat towel and wiped it in disgust, and said indifferently: "I knew that the rumors were true, and this king really shouldn't touch His Royal Highness King Xiang." ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways towards Yun Xiangrong and said, "After eating in a while, accompany me to Sun Yi's place." ”

King Xiang's expression suddenly turned cold, "Huo Chen, what do you mean by this?" ”

I haven't seen Sun Yi before, but the name Sun Yi is known to most of the powerful people, and the Holy Doctor is not sealed in vain.

Huo Chen said such things for no reason, which really made King Xiang angry.

However, Huo Chen did not mean to explain.

At this time, the king came.

"Why is everyone blocking this hallway? You should go to the private room to catch up. "King Liwang came up with a smile, pretending to have just discovered King Xiang's appearance." Hey, the second brother is also there? It just so happens that we have dinner today, so we won't talk about the second brother, let's go first? ”

The last words were filled with some doubts about the king.

King Xiang was unwilling, and wanted to say something, but he was grabbed by the son who came out to call him, and shook his head imperceptibly.

King Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and watched Huo Chen and the others leave with a cold face and entered a private room in Tianzihao.

And King Xiang, who followed the white-clothed boy back to his private room, was furious, and directly dropped a cup, and the sound of the cup breaking sounded with her angry voice, "This Huo Chen really doesn't take this king in his eyes more and more." ”

"Lord Wang doesn't need to worry, Huo Chen has just won the military power now, and it is the time when he is in the limelight, it is not beneficial for us to deal with him at this time, and it is the best policy to avoid his peak for the time being." It was still the man in white who opened his mouth to persuade.

"Murong, you just stopped me, do you know what Huo Chen's words mean?" Showang calmed down and asked.

The white-clothed man who was called Murong flashed a cold glint in his eyes, and said coldly: "The prince doesn't have to worry about this matter, he should focus on major matters." ”

"Murong, don't think that you have outstanding strategy, this king has to be you, this king doesn't need a disobedient minion under him." Xiang Wang's voice was also cold.

After he finished speaking, seeing that Murong still didn't speak, he snorted coldly, turned around and walked outside.

Murong You's voice came from behind, "Because the outside world is rumoring that the prince is a broken sleeve." Just one sentence of broken sleeves can make King Xiang understand what Huo Chen's words mean.

Xiang Wang's steps as he left froze in place, so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Suddenly turned around and looked at Murong coldly, and said, "When is it, why didn't you tell this king about such a big thing earlier." ”

"There were some rumors earlier, but the subordinates used means to suppress them, and the rumors of the Qingyang County Lord at that time were all over the place, so no one cared. I didn't think that it had become more and more powerful in the past few days, and I couldn't suppress it, and the more I pressed, the faster it rebounded. Today, I asked the prince to come to solve this matter. There must be someone behind this matter, and this person must be the king of Zhennan! Murong said in a deep voice.

His voice was already softer than that of ordinary men, and when he lowered his voice like this, he revealed some hoarse temptation.

King Xiang looked at him and was a little distracted. Realizing that his mood had changed, King Xiang hurriedly shook his head and shook off the ridiculous feeling in his heart.

"There must be no doubt about him, this Huo Chen" King Xiang gritted his teeth, after all, he didn't have the impulse to confront Huo Chen, this kind of thing without evidence, Huo Chen would not admit it.

took the initiative to find Huo Chen, but fell into the inferior class.

"What do you think of the matter to be resolved?" King Xiang sat down again and asked with a cold face.

Murong's expression was calm, as if this matter would not have any impact on him, and said calmly: "Huo Chen will leave for the training ground of the Biannan Army in the near future, and he will not come back for a while. As soon as the king of Zhennan leaves, he will lose the most important right-hand man from the king, and it will be much easier to deal with at that time, and in terms of Huo Chen's attention to Yun Xiangrong, Yun Xiangrong must be one of his weaknesses, as long as Yun Xiangrong can be controlled, Huo Chen is not afraid! ”

Saying these words, Murong's eyes flashed with confidence and brilliance, and the whole person exuded a dazzling light, making King Xiang couldn't help but believe his words.

"Murong can have a countermeasure?" King Xiang asked in a low voice.

Murong smiled indifferently and raised his hand to signal King Xiang to approach.

King Xiang approached, the two whispered in a low voice, and finally King Xiang couldn't help laughing, looking very happy.

And the other side. Huo Chen and his party entered the box, and after sitting down, they left the king and said, "How could you be against King Xiang?" He's not an easy character. ”

Liwang's face was slightly solemn, Huo Chen was about to leave Beijing, and he would have to face all the enemy's open guns and arrows alone, which was really a lot of pressure.

"It doesn't matter, I have been prepared for the matter of King Xiang, and the matter of broken sleeves is all the rage, if he stabs the emperor, he will naturally not be able to please him. It's just that the man next to him is not an easy one to deal with. You need to guard against him. Huo Chen said calmly.

After finishing speaking, he ignored the king and talked to Yun Xiang in a low voice.

Thinking about it, everything that should be planned in the past few days has been planned, and everything that should be prepared has been prepared, so Huo Chen also went.

After a practice banquet, Huo Chen almost ignored others, and his eyes fell on Yun Xiangrong's body as if he couldn't move away.

At the end, King Liwang hurriedly pulled Xiao Qi and said, "Let's go back first." Then he fled.

It's a terrible feeling between the two.

"How long are you going to go?" After leaving Wang and Xiao Qi, Yun Xiangrong finally couldn't hold back. He asked.

Huo Chen smiled lightly: "At least a few months, at most half a year and a year." ”

A year is also long enough.

Yun Xiangrong paused, took out the bracer from his arms, handed it to Huo Chen, and said in a low voice: "This is made by me myself, maybe it doesn't have much effect, but you take it, if you miss me, you can take a look, remember that I am waiting for you in the capital." ”

Yun Xiangrong's rare and soft words made Huo Chen overjoyed, and he hugged Yun Xiangrong in his arms, directly blocking her lips and tongue.

After a bit of wanton lightness, he let go of her.

Yun Xiangrong snuggled in Huo Chen's arms with a red face, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

After that, Huo Chen sent Yun Xiangrong back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he hurried back to the Zhennan Palace.

In a blink of an eye, Huo Chen had been away for ten days.

Yun Xiangrong basically didn't go out for ten days, until the eleventh day, Chu Er came to pass the word, saying that Jiang Hanyu had sent someone to invite her, saying that someone in the front hall wanted to see her.

Yun Xiangrong was confused in his heart, and he didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, he went to see what kind of demon Jiang Hanyu was going to do.

After instructing Chu'er to freshen up, he went to the front hall.

When he arrived at the front hall, Yun Xiangrong saw an unexpected person appear in the front hall.

Li Mingyue.

She was dressed in a dark red brocade robe, her hair was meticulously combed, and she looked extremely majestic.

Although Yun Xiangrong didn't like it in his heart, in front of many maids, he still did enough etiquette and saluted the two respectfully.

After Yun Xiangrong sat down, Jiang Hanyu smiled and asked Li Mingyue: "I don't know why the old princess came today?" ”

"Presumably what happened in the hall last time, Aunt Jiang should have heard about it, my family Huo Chen, said that she wanted to marry Miss Yun as a concubine." Li Mingyue put the teacup in her hand on the side and said lightly.

Jiang Hanyu knew it in his heart, but he was puzzled on his face: "That's true, what does the old princess mean?" ”

"Today, Mrs. Ben is here to propose." Li Mingyue opened her mouth lightly, looking at Yun Xiangrong's eyes with a smile, as if she had given her a great grace.

Yun Xiangrong was a little surprised.

According to what he knew before, Li Mingyue should have hated Huo Chen extremely much, how could he personally come to the door to propose marriage when he was away!

There must be something in this that she doesn't know.

Yun Xiangrong was thinking about it, when he heard Li Mingyue say again, "Although Miss Yun is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and has been canonized as Princess Xiangrui, it stands to reason that such a noble status is no problem with any royal family and nobles." ”

Li Mingyue opened her mouth to praise, and then said: "But after all, Miss Yun has married someone once, and she is remarried, and my Huo Chen, the back house, does not even have a concubine in the house, so it seems that my Huo Chen has suffered a little." ”

Yun Xiangrong looked at her calmly, without the slightest ripple in his eyes.

Li Mingyue's intention. She got it!

"But you two are deeply affectionate, and Mrs. Ben is not a person who beats mandarin ducks. Now Chen'er is busy with big things outside, and I, as a mother, always have to worry about his life's affairs for him. Since you have been married, you are not suitable for the position of the princess of Zhennan, so it is better for me to send someone to send a sedan chair to carry you into the mansion and be Huo Chen's concubine, which can be regarded as a round of affection between the two of you. Li Mingyue said seriously, looking like Yun Xiangrong was considerate.

"This is a great thing, if you can marry into the palace, you will be a concubine, and you will be able to enjoy the glory with the favor of the prince." Jiang Hanyu clapped his hands and laughed on the side.

"Miss, what else are you considering? It is only right to hurry up, after all, although you look at the glory, this and the identity of the separation are already daunting. Jiang Hanyu turned to Yun Xiangrong and said seriously.

Yun Xiangrong's smile remained unchanged, and he said lightly, "It turns out that Aunt Jiang thinks like this?" No wonder I begged the queen to marry my father as a concubine when I said anything, it turned out to be like this. All these years down. I couldn't get my father's favor, so I thought about red apricots out of the wall. ”

Looking at the more and more wonderful discoloration on Jiang Hanyu's face, Yun Xiangrong was refreshed in his heart, and still said lightly: "It's just that what I don't understand is that since my father said that he was willing to go to the queen mother to intercede and let you regain your freedom, why didn't you want to?" Don't you dislike that Guo Gongzi's family is not as powerful as his father? Or are you worried that you are old and decrepit, and you may not be able to keep Guo Gongzi's heart? ”

"Yun Xiangrong, you, you are full of nonsense, you know best in your own heart what happened that time, don't want to pour dirty water on me!" Jiang Hanyu was so angry that he was almost pounced on and tore Yun Xiangrong.

was pulled by the green peach behind him.

Now in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Hanyu's position is embarrassing, and she conflicts with Yun Xiangrong, and she can only suffer from it.

Li Mingyue on the side looked at Yun Xiangrong in amazement, she knew that Yun Xiangrong was powerful, but she didn't expect that she would be so sharp-tongued.

The queen and Jiang Guogong also said that they could ask Jiang Hanyu for help in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Jiang Hanyu was useless at all.

Li Mingyue restrained her expression and said sharply: "I thought that you would guard the grace of the Queen Mother, and you must be a knowledgeable person, but I don't want to be so ignorant of etiquette. Aunt Jiang is an aunt. Now you are also the mistress of this Prime Minister's Mansion, you are so presumptuous, aren't you afraid that Yunxiang will know and punish you. ”

Yun Xiangrong's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "This is not for the old princess to bother." The old princess has this mind to worry about the marriage of King Zhennan, so it is better to take care of her own son. I heard that two days ago, he was jealous of a Qinglou woman in Chunfeng Building, and offended a certain magnate, but I don't know if it has been solved now! ”

"You, how do you know!" Li Mingyue was extremely shocked.

She had already blocked the news of this matter and strictly ordered it not to be spread outside, and the rumors had not been exposed at all, how did Yun Xiangrong know.

"If you don't know, don't be afraid that people will know if you have done it. Miss Ben's marriage to the king of Zhennan is not worried about the old princess. Yun Xiangrong said coldly: "If the old princess is fine, please." ”

This is a direct drive away.

Li Mingyue also made a policy with the queen to let Yun Xiangrong enter the palace as a concubine, and at that time, she would have great ability, and it would be difficult to show it.

However, I didn't want to, Yun Xiangrong was so hard-hearted, he dismissed her face on the spot, and slapped her and Jiang Hanyu's faces with a bang, which was really embarrassing.

"Yun Xiangrong can let you think clearly, if I leave today, you will never want to marry into the palace, after all, I am Huo Chen's righteous mother, without my consent, your affairs will never be possible, if you rely on me and enter the palace as a concubine, you can also stay with Huo Chen." Li Mingyue said coldly.

"Hehe" Yun Xiangrong suddenly chuckled, and said lightly: "This matter is not for the old princess to bother, the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion is outside, the old princess, please take care of herself." Chu'er, let's go. ”

If he continued to entangle, Yun Xiangrong left with Chu Er in a chic manner, and his calm and calm demeanor made the faces of the two people in the hall change greatly, and they were as black as the bottom of a pot.
