Chapter 126: The Arrival of the Envoy (1200 plus one change for diamonds, plus one change for willfulness)
When Wen Zhixiao went to Wen Xinlan's room, Wen Xinlan was throwing something and losing her temper. ziyouge
"Enough. looks like this, how can there be a little bit of everyone's beautiful appearance. Wen Zhixiao looked at the fragments of the vase shattered in front of her heels, her face sank, and she let out a low sigh.
Wen Xinlan was startled, turned her head and saw that it was Wen Zhixiao, and immediately called "Dad" aggrievedly.
"Why don't you go back to bed and rest, you really want this leg to be useless before you are happy." Wen Zhixiao said with a cold face.
Wen Xinlan's face was full of grievances, she was already standing on the edge of the bed, holding on to the edge of the bed and sitting on the bed.
"Dad, marriage" Wen Xinlan bit her lip, her eyes rolling in her eyes.
Wen Zhixiao looked at the softness in his heart, in the end, he was the daughter who had been spoiled for so many years, and he hoped that Wen Xinlan's marriage would be successful.
At the beginning, he would marry the Yun family, but also because Yun Xuan was in full swing, and he became a prime minister at a young age, Yun Qing was polite when he was young, he thought that he would inherit the mantle of Wen Xuan and have some achievements in the officialdom, but he didn't want him to abandon his pen and become a soldier.
He was not optimistic about Yun Qing's joining the army, so he also acquiesced to the divorce at that time.
Later, Yun Qing hurriedly set out on the expedition, and the matter of retiring from the marriage was put on hold, he thought that Yun Qing would die on the battlefield, and it didn't matter much whether he retreated or not.
But I don't want him to come back alive and become a general, how can he be willing to let go of such a talent?
So his face softened, he stepped forward to stand in front of Wen Xinlan, and said in a low voice: "My father has sent them back, and the marriage has not been returned." ”
Wen Xinlan was overjoyed when she heard this, hugged Wen Zhixiao, and choked up: "Father, my daughter doesn't want to get out of the marriage, father, you can help your daughter." ”
At this moment, Wen Xinlan really doesn't want to get married.
Last time at the racecourse, although Xing Yunping caught up with her, he told the horse to run away, and later argued with her. Although he carried her to the carriage and sent her back to the house, he also drenched her, and when she returned, she fell ill, which made her full of disappointment.
She thought that if Yun Qing caught up with her at that time, it would definitely be a different situation.
He will control the horse, will take her to avoid the rainstorm, and at this moment in Wen Xinlan's heart, Yun Qing is a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and a man worthy of being entrusted for life, while Xing Yunping is just a little white face who has no power to restrain the chicken.
Yun Qing has both the ability of a military general and the demeanor of a literati, and she feels more and more that this kind of man is what she wants to pursue.
How did Wen Zhixiao think about this family business? At this moment, Yun Qing can be said to have a bright future, I don't know how many people want to marry their daughter, he already has the advantage of marrying, how can he be willing to destroy it?
"Lan'er, don't worry, since you like him, whatever you say for your father, you will let this family matter be settled, and you will leave it to your father." Wen Zhixiao said in a low voice.
"Father has a way?" Wen Xinlan looked up at him in surprise when she heard this.
"Hmm." Wen Zhixiao responded, patted her shoulder, and said, "Hurry up and let someone change the medicine for you, otherwise if this leg really falls into the root of the disease, you won't be able to marry at that time, and you won't even have a place to cry." ”
"Okay, the daughter listens to her father, so she will obediently take the medicine." Wen Xinlan suddenly burst into tears and laughed, relieved Wen Zhixiao, and asked the next person to take the medicine.
This side is busy and not to mention, on the other side, Yun Xuan and his son left the Wen Mansion and sat in the carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The marriage was not withdrawn, and Yun Qing was not much disappointed, but she vaguely felt a little unhappy in her heart.
He also saw Wen Xinlan and Xing Yunping together with his own eyes, and also saw Xing Yunping's concern for Wen Xinlan, if he wanted to say that the two of them had nothing, he didn't believe it, but just now, he said that Wen Xinlan was in trouble, and Mrs. Wen fainted, if he really wanted to withdraw from the marriage on the spot, I am afraid that there would be rumors that his Yun family was bullying, and the marriage had dragged on for so many years, and it would not hurt to delay it for a few more days.
Yun Qing thought like this, and suddenly heard Yun Xuan ask him.
"What's the matter with Miss Wen and that criminal son?" Yun Xuan asked slowly.
Fang was in the Yun family, he didn't want to ask carefully, and only now did he speak.
Although he didn't want to interfere in the marriage between Yun Qing and Yun Xiangrong, he didn't want Yun Qing to marry an unclean woman and enter the mansion to humiliate him.
Yun Qing told what happened in the racecourse last time, and said: "I thought that the two of them were in love, so I simply withdrew from this marriage, which fulfilled them, and it was better than worrying about her going out of the wall in the future, but I didn't want to, she didn't want to withdraw from the marriage." ”
Yun Xuan frowned and said, "Leave this matter to my father, if it is true, my father will make the decision for you and withdraw from the marriage." ”
"Thank you, father." Yun Qing thanked him.
The two returned to the mansion, and Yun Xuan directly sent someone to investigate the matter of Xinlan and Xing Yunping.
Yun Xiangrong also knew that Yun Qing's marriage had not been completed, and frowned unhappily.
This Wen Xinlan is really good at dying, and now this peaceful way to divorce is not wanted, if she really has to calculate it in private, she Wen Xinlan can't get out, it seems that it's time to beat it up.
A few days later, the Prime Minister's Mansion welcomed a guest, who was Wang Xuejing.
After Yun Qing told Yun Xiangrong that she could find someone to accompany her to relieve her boredom, she wrote a letter to Wang Xuejing and invited her to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few days.
brought Wang Xuejing to his Yunfu Garden, and Yun Xiangrong ordered his subordinates to serve tea.
"I thought you would have to wait a few days to come, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." Yun Xiangrong said with a smile.
"What could I have to delay, if it weren't for my mother, I would have come long ago. She takes her everywhere to attend the feast every day, I really don't know why she is so happy to do this, but others squeeze out us, and she wants to go, it's really "Wang Xuejing complained in a low voice, twisting her eyebrows and looking very puzzled.
Yun Xiangrong tilted his head when he heard this, looked at Wang Xuejing, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Xuejing is almost over." ”
"Huh? It's almost over, but what does it have to do with my mother taking me to the feast? Wang Xuejing was stunned and asked a little blankly.
Yun Xiangrong shook his head with a smile, admiring her rough nerves.
I didn't even notice such an obvious thing.
"That's right. You're almost over, and Mrs. Wang is running like this to help you find a good family. Yun Xiangrong said.
Wang Xuejing happened to take a sip of tea, and almost didn't squirt out directly when she heard the words, so she was afraid that Yun Xiangrong was sitting opposite, and reluctantly swallowed it, choking and coughing several times.
"Be careful." Yun Xiangrong wanted to laugh a little, thinking that Wang Xuejing was really cute, and being with her was like bringing a younger sister.
"Family?" Wang Xuejing finally relieved, pointed to her nose and said, "You mean that my mother is going to marry me?" ”
"Didn't my aunt tell you at all?" Yun Xiangrong raised his eyebrows and said.
"No, how old am I, my mother wants to marry me off. It's too bad to see me. Wang Xuejing complained softly.
"Don't worry, it's so easy to get married, and my aunt is also helping you look at each other, it's still early to really marry." Yun Xiangrong said soothingly.
Wang Xuejing thought about it, too, since her mother hadn't mentioned it yet, there was no suitable partner yet, and her worries in her heart had been put down a lot.
Besides, if the mother finds her someone she doesn't like, it's a big deal for her to run away from marriage.
Wang Xuejing thought about it, suddenly recovered her spirits, put the matter behind her, and talked with Yun Xiangrong for a few days.
The two are already like-minded, and after they really sit down and chat, they feel even more sympathetic.
Yun Xiangrong said with a smile: "This time, you have to stay here for a few more days, I am preparing for marriage, and the days before marriage are also boring, with you with me, I will relieve my boredom, and I can have a better life today." ”
"I'm afraid I can't stay." Wang Xuejing said.
Seeing that Yun Xiang looked at himself puzzled, he explained: "My father is very busy these days, and he is often summoned to the palace by the emperor. My father is not in the house, and my mother has to take my sister and younger brother, which is very hard, and I can help one or two when I go home. ”
Yun Xiangrong was stunned when he heard this.
The departing envoy is coming?
The border of Qiguo is adjacent to many countries, and this is the closest to the country, and then it is the country of Sang to the east.
Qiguo and Sang are both big countries, and they are constantly fighting and making small troubles on weekdays, but they will not start a war easily.
And the national strength of the country is not weak, that is, the territory is slightly smaller, which restricts development, so whenever the national strength is strong, it will start a war, and if you want to defeat the country, you will divide some land from the side of the country.
However, Qiguo is not easy to bully, and this time he will directly beg for mercy and courtiers, and is willing to send a large amount of compensation to avoid the rekindling of war.
This is also the reason why Yun Qing and Huo Chen, who returned from this victory, are so favored.
Because this is indeed a rare victory in decades.
But what Yun Xiangrong was thinking about at the moment was not these, but what would happen after leaving the country this time.
In the previous life, this big victory also existed, and she also came to the dynasty after leaving the country, she remembered that she brought a princess to kiss at that time, and finally married King Xiang.
At that time, Princess Heqin didn't seem to be looking at King Xiang, but someone else, and it seemed that she had made a fuss about accepting her fate, and she was boiling.
It's just that after a long time, she can't remember the scene for a while.
Yun Xiangrong thought about it, and couldn't help frowning tightly.
No matter what happened in the previous life, but in this life, King Xiang has been sent to the fief, so, who will marry this princess in this life?
"Sister don't worry, although I can't live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion every day to accompany my sister, and I will never make my sister bored." Wang Xuejing saw that Yun Xiangrong frowned and didn't speak, thinking that she was concerned about the things she couldn't live, so she hurriedly said.
Yun Xiangrong came back to his senses, saw Wang Xuejing looking at him with a very concerned gaze, suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart, smiled, and said: "Silly girl, I just thought about the things on the side, and I don't blame you." You are so filial, how can I embarrass you because of my own selfishness? ”
Seeing that the nervous look on Wang Xuejing's face dissipated, Yun Xiangrong said again: "Every day, I will send someone to pick you up and come to the house to play, but it will be hard for you to go back and forth." ”
"It's a car back and forth, don't run around, as long as my sister is happy." Wang Xuejing said with a smile.
It was noon, Yun Xiangrong asked people to prepare lunch and used it with Wang Xuejing.
When it was getting late, Yun Xiangrong asked Ge Quan to send Wang Xuejing back to the palace.
For a few days in a row, Wang Xuejing came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to accompany Yun Xiangrong, and the relationship between the two became better and better, and it has become a handkerchief.
On this day, Yun Xiangrong received the news. said that Fufeng wanted to see her, and she was in Yunyi Pavilion.
Ge Quan had already gone to pick up Wang Xuejing, and it happened that the few clothes he had made for Mrs. Wang last time had already been ready, so Yun Xiangrong asked people to wait for Wang Xuejing at the gate to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After Wang Xuejing came, Yun Xiangrong told her that she wanted to go to Yunyi Pavilion to get clothes, and the two went out again.
When he arrived at Yunyi Pavilion, Yun Xiangrong took the clothes and gave them to Wang Xuejing, and said: "Xuejing, you go to the private room to see if there is anything you are not satisfied with with this dress, if there is, say it, I will tell someone to change it, I still have some accounts to deal with, I have to bother you to wait for me for a while." ”
Wang Xuejing knew that this shop was Yun Xiangrong, and when she saw that she was busy, she didn't ask much, nodded and agreed, and then went to the private room with her clothes.
After Yun Xiangrong entered the private room, he moved a vase, and a door suddenly opened on one of the walls.
Yun Xiangrong walked in, and the secret door closed again.
"Why are you in such a hurry to see me?" After Yun Xiangrong sat down, Fufeng served Yun Xiangrong tea, and Yun Xiangrong took a sip. Asked lightly.
"In recent days, with the arrival of the embassy from the country, the business of the major restaurants, teahouses and men's ready-to-wear shops under the Exile Garden is very good, I have bought a lot of goods, and the amount is a little large, so I want to give you a look." Fufeng chuckled.
He pushed the ledger in his hand to Yun Xiangrong, but his eyes fell on Yun Xiangrong's body without a trace.
"There is no doubt about employing people, since I said that I believe you, you don't have to tell everything like this, even if the amount is huge, I believe you can also handle it." Yun Xiangrong looked at the ledger and said calmly.
"Yes, Fufeng remembered." Fufeng answered calmly.
In fact, he just wanted to take the opportunity to see her, after all, he hadn't seen her for a long time. Fufeng lowered his eyebrows slightly, hiding his thoughts.
She used to be Zhou Mu's wife, he had just come to work under her, and he had affection in a hazy way, but he didn't dare to show it, he felt that he was not worthy of her.
Later, the Exile Garden became bigger and bigger, and she had already reconciled. However, before he was happy, she had Huo Chen by her side.
What else could he do but smile wryly?
She was not destined to belong to him. He just thought about it when he wanted to see her.
"On paper, this man's ready-to-wear shop has the best business." Yun Xiang said in a low voice.
Thinking of the upcoming envoy group with a princess of harmony, he couldn't help but sneer.
These people are really self-conscious, even if they want to be married, they are all married to the prince, or there are more royal relatives and nobles, but there are very few children of ordinary high-ranking officials.
Besides, the princess's temperament and Jiang Qing have to fight, and how can ordinary people control it.
"I heard that the princess who left the country and sent a friendly princess over, the envoy group is about to arrive in Beijing, and almost all the sons of wealthy families have ordered new clothes." Fufu explained.
His explanation wasn't much different from what Yun Xiangrong thought, so she wasn't too surprised.
Just thinking of the princess and the princess, Yun Xiangrong couldn't stop frowning.
After all, now that King Xiang has been sent to the fiefdom, there are not many marriageable princes, and if it is not suitable at that time, it is necessary to choose among close imperial relatives or excellent ministers.
And now Huo Chen and Yun Qing, who have returned from victory, are undoubtedly the best among them, no matter which one is chosen, Yun Xiangrong can't accept it.
Fufeng frowned when he saw her, although he didn't know why she frowned, but he couldn't bear it, so he said: "Liuli Yuan has opened a new restaurant, called Ruyixuan, and has hired a good cook, and the craftsmanship is not bad, why don't you try it." ”
Yun Xiangrong heard this, and the folds between his eyebrows slowly loosened.
The princess has not yet come, and it is useless for her to think about these things now, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and when the matter arrives, she naturally knows how to solve it.
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Yun Xiangrong smiled and said, "It's okay, if there is nothing to do, I'll leave first." ”
"Okay, Miss first, please." Fu Feng was reluctant in his heart, but he smiled lightly on his face.
The Exile Garden is now growing stronger and stronger, and Fufeng is the owner of the Exile Garden. She kept a distance from Yun Xiangrong, which was also requested by Yun Xiangrong, and she didn't want people to know that Exile Yuan was her industry.
Yun Xiangrong left the secret room first, went to the private room next to him to find Wang Xuejing, and took her to Ruyixuan.
"There is a new Ruyi Xuan in the city, I heard that the dishes in it are good, take you to try it." Yun Xiangrong took Wang Xuejing to stand at the door of Ruyixuan and said with a smile.
Wang Xuejing glanced up at the signboard of Ruyixuan, and stepped to keep up with Yun Xiangrong, who was walking in front.
"How many girls, do you want to sit in the lobby or the private room on the second floor?" As soon as the two stepped into Ruyi Xuan, a shopkeeper greeted them with a smile.
"Two, private room."
"Okay, you two come with me." The shopkeeper responded and took the lead to go up.
Yun Xiangrong's eyes swept lightly, and seeing that Ruyixuan's business was indeed very good, he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.
Sighing secretly, Fufeng is indeed a rare business wizard. The major restaurants, teahouses, ready-to-wear shops, and fat powder shops under the Exile Garden, as long as the shops opened by Fufeng, they are all profitable.
When he arrived at the private room upstairs, Yun Xiangrong's eyes inadvertently swept over a private room where food was being served, and when he saw the people inside, his eyes froze.
Huo Chen, why is he here?
Yun Xiang was puzzled.
But he subconsciously hung his head and walked away.
They are about to get married, but this is not the right time to meet.
The shopkeeper took the two to the door of a private room and said, "Two girls, look at this place." ”
Yun Xiangrong glanced up, and was about to speak, but his wrist was tight.
Then I heard an indifferent voice, "No need, they are with us all the way, add two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and serve a few signature dishes." ”
Yun Xiangrong turned around, and saw Huo Chen standing behind him with a noble and calm face, holding her with one hand.
I couldn't avoid him, and I felt a little helpless.
"Yes, wait a minute." The shopkeeper answered and retreated.
Wang Xuejing saluted at this time. "I've seen King Zhennan."
Huo Chen bowed lightly, and then took Yun Xiangrong's hand and went to his private room.
The three of them entered the private room.
Liwang, who was sitting in the room, immediately smiled when he saw Yun Xiangrong.
Peach Blossom's eyes were full of fragrance, and she said: "I said why did Achen leave in a hurry, I think that except for Xiangrui, there is no one else who can make Achen so anxious." ”
Huo Chen glanced at Wang lightly, his eyes were slightly dark, and the meaning of the threat was very obvious.
Li Wang coughed lightly, and the smile on his face was retracted.
"I've seen His Royal Highness." After their confrontation, Yun Xiangrong took Wang Xuejing to salute, and finally said, "Your Highness, don't make fun of me." ”
After the ceremony, everyone sat down again, and several people chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
"General Wang came back with a message, saying that in two days, the mission would be able to enter Beijing, and then there would be another storm." Away from the king's low opening, his voice was a little deep.
He naturally knew that there was a princess in the mission who was going to come and kiss, and he was also embarrassed in his heart.
"Hmm." Huo Chen replied lightly.
He has no interest in these things, and his main focus now is on his marriage with Yun Xiangrong, just waiting for Qin Tianjian to set the date, so that Yun Xiangrong can be married back to the palace as soon as possible.
Yun Xiangrong raised his head and glanced at the king.
When I saw the face of the king, something seemed to flash through my mind.
Yun Xiangrong frowned suddenly, and after thinking about it carefully, those vague and broken memories suddenly became a piece of the city, and he stared at Liwang with wide eyes, only to feel a roar in his head.
She said why she had been upset, it turned out that this was the problem.
Before, she only thought that Princess Heqin had liked someone, but she couldn't get married, but she didn't know who that person was, but now when she saw the king, those vague memories appeared, and she was taken by the princess of Heqin, isn't it the king.
So, who is the daughter who was implicated and pushed into the water and drowned?
Yun Xiangrong widened his eyes and thought carefully, but he couldn't think of anything.
After all, it was the first time in two lifetimes, and she couldn't think of it for a while, but it was nothing, but she was a little anxious at the moment.
She remembered that at that time, Wang Ke was assigned to guard the border because of this incident, and he was not summoned and could never return to Beijing, which was worse than what happened to King Xiang.
After all, King Xiang went to the fiefdom, and the emperor was far away, so he would not have to worry about his life, but the battlefield was a place of killing, and no one could guarantee that he would be stationed all year round, but he could retreat with his whole body.
Moreover, Huo Chen and Liwang are people in the same boat, one is prosperous and the other is lost, if something happens to Liwang, then Huo Chen will definitely be implicated.
Yun Xiangrong thought about this, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
"What are you doing watching him like that?" With a warm face, Yun Xiangrong raised his head, but saw Huo Chen holding his face with both hands, and there was some displeasure in his eyes.
Yun Xiangrong came back to his senses, looked at Huo Chen and blinked, and immediately understood that the picture of him just looking at the scene of leaving the king and thinking about things was seen by Huo Chen. He's eating it!
Suddenly I couldn't laugh or cry.
Huo Chen also knew in his heart that Yun Xiangrong would not have any thoughts about leaving the king, but he was just unhappy that Yun Xiangrong looked at the people next to him, and he was still like this, concentrating!
"I said, is it really good that you are so affectionate in front of me and Miss Wang?" Liwang on the side only felt that he had been abused, and he opened his mouth helplessly.
It was Wang Xuejing, who was very open-hearted and concentrated on eating food, but ignored their actions.
Yun Xiangrong broke free of Huo Chen's hand, looked at King Liwang and asked, "His Royal Highness King Liwang, is there a concubine in your house?" ”
Although he has lived for two lifetimes, Yun Xiangrong has never paid attention to this question, so he asked.
As her words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.
The cynical smile that had been hanging for many years was gone, and the look in his eyes became a little cold, and even Huo Chen on the side frowned.
"Yes, she died many years ago." It is a few points away from the king to return to his senses. Said lightly.
Yun Xiangrong frowned, understanding that there must be something in between, but her hands tightened slightly, and when she saw that Huo Chen gave her a look not to ask too much, she didn't dwell on this, anyway, her original intention was not this.
After a pause, he asked: "Then what does Your Highness think about leaving the country and relatives this time?" Do you want to marry that princess? ”
Li Wang was stunned when he heard this, but he also knew Yun Xiangrong's temperament, since he asked this, it would definitely not be as simple as curiosity.
opened his mouth to say something, but his eyes fell on Wang Xuejing's body, a little jealous, and he didn't speak.
Wang Xuejing on the side also sensed that something was wrong, looked up at them, and blinked.
Wang Xuejing put down the dishes and chopsticks, approached Yun Xiangrong, and said in a low voice: "Sister Rong, I'm in a little anxious, go out first, you use it first." ”
"Go ahead." Yun Xiangrong nodded.
Wang Xuejing apologized to Huo Chen and Liwang, and then got up with a smile and left the private room.
And the king gave the guard behind him a look, and the guard left knowingly, standing at the door.
"It's all my own people, I'll tell you the truth, in this situation, my chances of winning the position above are extremely low, but if I want to protect myself, I have to do something!" Liwang's face looked very solemn.
Originally, he not only had to be cynical to eliminate the enemy's vigilance, but also carefully hide the sadness and depression in his heart.
But after King Xiang fell off the horse, he and the prince faced each other, and now he is really walking on thin ice, and he can't tell when he will fall off the horse, and like King Xiang, he will not be able to do it for life.
After all, there is a queen behind the crown prince, there is Jiang Guogong, and there is nothing behind him. If it weren't for Huo Chen, he wouldn't have been able to hold on a long time ago.
But he couldn't, so he had to hold on desperately.
Otherwise, what should he do with his mother's hatred and his wife's hatred? That's it?
No, he was not reconciled. So no matter what, he has to keep going.
Now he urgently needs a bargaining chip to stabilize his position in the court, and this is obviously an excellent opportunity for him to be with the princess.
After all, it is a matter of peace between the two countries, and if he marries the princess of Heqin, the prince and the prince will be afraid of him if they want to do something to him.
Yun Xiangrong understood Liwang's thoughts, pursed his lips and did not speak.
If she didn't know what happened in her previous life, she would definitely feel that it was the best choice to leave the king and fight for the princess, but since she already knew that some tragedies were just around the corner, how could she stand idly by?
"Does Rong Rong feel that there is something wrong?" Huo Chen on the side said in a low voice.
Yun Xiangrong nodded without explanation. Instead, he said to the king: "If Your Highness really wants to protect yourself, then on the day of the banquet for the envoys, don't enter the palace." ”
Li Wang frowned when he heard this, and Huo Chen was also full of puzzlement.
"What is the meaning of Xiangrui's words?" Liwang asked.
Yun Xiangrong had already thought of the excuse, so he said: "I had a dream a few days ago, I dreamed that His Royal Highness was stabbed by Princess Heqin, and he was in danger, and he was uneasy, so I said this. If His Highness thinks this statement is ridiculous and untrustworthy, it is naturally up to His Highness himself. ”
When Wang Li heard this, his face suddenly changed.
Although this dream may be credible, after all, it is a bad omen, an extremely unlucky thing, and he really does not dare to take risks.
Huo Chen, who was on the side, glanced at Yun Xiangrong and silently did not speak.
He knew Yun Xiangrong, and knew that she wouldn't talk about such things as uncertainty, and since she opened her mouth, she must have known something they didn't know.
But he didn't ask at such a time, there are some things that are more appropriate to ask in private.
Because of what Yun wants to say. The atmosphere in the private room froze for a while.
In the end, the king said, "In any case, thank you Xiangrui for your advice." ”
Yun Xiangrong nodded and did not speak.
Leaving the king to call back his guards, Wang Xuejing also came back after a while.
Several people had different thoughts, and each used some things casually, so they got up and said goodbye to the king, and took the lead in returning to the house.
Outside Ruyi Xuan, after Yun Xiangrong asked Ge Quan to drive Wang Xuejing back to the palace, he got into Huo Chen's carriage waiting on the side.
After she got into the carriage, the carriage slowly drove away and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the carriage, Huo Chen held Yun Xiangrong in his arms and made a wanton light, causing Yun Xiangrong to glare at him angrily, and then he stopped his movements with a smile.
Yun Xiangrong's face was still flushed, and he tried to calm his heartbeat.
"Why did you let the departing king not attend the banquet of the envoys? What do you know? Huo Chen asked in a low voice.
Everyone knew very well in their hearts that asking the king not to attend the banquet meant that he should not marry the princess.
This is the most suitable bargaining chip to become the talisman of the king at the moment, but Yun Xiangrong told the king to give up. Huo Chen was puzzled.
Hearing Huo Chen's question, Yun Xiangrong suddenly stiffened slightly.
Why did she not let the king not participate, and how should she answer?
Could it be that she was reborn, and she knew what had happened in the previous life, so she wanted to let the king avoid it in advance, so as not to get into trouble?
Not to mention whether Huo Chen believes it or not, even she herself can't say it.
This is her biggest and least known secret today, which she can't say or say.
Trying his best to calm himself, Yun Xiang said in a low voice, "I do know something." I heard that this is arrogant and arrogant with the princess, and Jiang Qing is somewhat similar, if such a person marries back to the palace, it may be advantageous at the time, but in the long run, it is a burden that drags the legs, so it is better not to. ”
Huo Chen squinted his eyes, if he really heard about it, why didn't he hear the slightest rumor?
He sensed that Yun wanted to hide something from him.
He didn't speak, Yun Xiangrong said again: "Although the situation is tense now, it can barely be maintained, it's not worth using this matter as a bargaining chip, otherwise this follow-up thing will break out, which is enough to make Liwang anxious, and when the backyard fires out, it will only make Liwang anxious, it's not worth it." ”
Yun Xiangrong's hairs stood on end, and he was frightened but tried his best to speak calmly, afraid that Huo Chen would not believe it.
"Rong'er has a point." Huo Chen hugged Yun Xiangrong, played with her hair casually, and said lightly.
Did he mean to believe it? Yun Xiangrong thought a little uncertainly.
Yun Xiangrong wasn't sure if he believed it or not, but she understood that this matter was over for the time being.
"By the way, is there anything you can't mention about the king's concubine? Why did I just ask, both of you have changed your faces? Yun Xiangrong hurriedly changed the topic.
Huo Chen paused, and then slowly said a mystery that Yun Xiangrong didn't know even if he had lived two lives.
It turned out that Liwang and his concubine Yan Yuke were childhood sweethearts, and they didn't dislike that he didn't have a mother behind him, he was a prince who was not favored, and after marrying Liwang. The two respect each other like guests and have a very deep relationship.
And King Lili also carefully protected Yan Yuke, so as not to let the wind and rain outside blow to her.
But when manpower is exhausted, no matter how closely guarded, there will always be a time for omission.
When he went out to perform a task assigned by the emperor, Yan Yuke was poisoned.
Liwang didn't even see her for the last time.
Since then, the king has been depressed for a long time, and after cheering up, he disguised himself with cynicism, and often went in and out of Fireworks Willow Lane, creating an image of a prince who was sad for love.
Yun Xiangrong didn't expect that behind the wanton smiling face of King Li, there was such a poignant story hidden.
"No wonder you looked like that." Yun Xiangrong replied, and said, "Have you found the person who left the princess?" ”
Huo Chen didn't hide it from her, he played with her long hair with one hand, and said lightly: "From the bright side, it seems that it is the hand of King Xiang, but we have checked, the matter here is not simple, it may be the hand of King Xiang." He was framed. ”
"That's the Queen's hand?" There are only a few princes who grew up safely, and King Liwang and King Xiang are the most outstanding among them.
The others were either sent to the fiefdom by the emperor early, or died early, and the two pinched each other, and the only beneficiary was the prince.
"There is no evidence." Huo Chen was still indifferent, "Okay, let's not mention these things, let's talk about it." ”
Yun Xiangrong's doubts had been solved, but he didn't insist on asking, so he said, "What to say?" The topic finally diverged, and Yun Xiangrong was not as nervous as Fang Cai.
"I received the news that the Heavenly Supervisor will set the date in the near future, do you have any ideas on the layout of the new house, tell me that I can also prepare in advance." Huo Chen smiled lightly.
Hearing him say that the date was about to be set, Yun Xiangrong's heart suddenly tightened.
settled, which means that the day of marriage is coming.
"Why don't you speak?" Huo Chen didn't wait for Yun Xiangrong's answer, raised his hand and held the hand she was leaning on in his arms in the palm of his hand, and asked in a low voice.
Yun Xiangrong looked at him, chuckled, and teased: "What's the use of telling you what I like?" With Li Mingyue here, the layout of this back house is her business, and you can't be the master. ”
"Laughing at me?" Huo Chen raised his eyebrows, and his eyes flashed.
Yun Xiangrong blinked and said, "I'm just telling the truth." Could it be that you, a big man, still want to meddle in the affairs of this back house? Don't toss, when I pass the door, I'll change to what I like. ”
"Can't wait to marry me? Well? When Huo Chen heard her say the door, a smile suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he was full of brilliance and lazy.
Yun Xiangrong stopped talking.
Where did he tell she couldn't wait? She's obviously fine, but she has a little expectation.
However, nothing could be said about this, so there was silence.
Huo Chen knew that she was thin-skinned, so he chuckled and stopped chasing this stubble, and said with a smile: "You just have to tell me, now let her toss first, and on the wedding day, I will definitely give you a new house you like." ”
Yun Xiangrong looked at him with some puzzlement, with a slightly confused look with a heart-warming haze.
Huo Chen looked at it, and finally couldn't help but lean over and kiss her lips.
The kiss came quickly, leaving Yun Xiangrong unprepared. He could only fall into his arms and let him take what he wanted.
Three days later, Wang Jing'an escorted the departure delegation into the capital, and after meeting the saint, he was placed in the post house of Honglu Temple.
On the evening of the day when the envoys entered Beijing, the palace prepared a dinner for the envoys, and Yun Xiangrong was also invited.
As soon as he entered the palace, Yun Xiangrong and Xiao Qi talked together, before the dinner began, there would be various performances, first by the dancing girl brought from the country to sing and dance, and then by the show arranged by Qiguo, which seemed very lively.
When the banquet was about to start, Xiao Qi quietly left Yun Xiangrong's side and went to sit down in his place.
When the song and dance were almost in progress, the envoy who left the country suddenly stood up and said to the emperor at the top: "Your Majesty, the princess of our country admires the style of Qiguo, and specially prepared a dance music for Qiguo. I wish the country a smooth wind and rain, and the country and the people are safe. ”
The emperor's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Accurate." ”
With the sound of silk and bamboo, a group of scantily clad dancers went up from the side, exposing their slender white thighs and arms, and even their stomachs were exposed, which was very eye-catching.
The minister below suddenly gasped, and he heard that this was open to the national style, and even this dance was like this.
There are many ministers who have seen this kind of scene and seem to be very light-hearted, while some pedantic ministers are low-minded and vulgar.
But no matter what kind of position and performance the minister is, he unconsciously meows his eyes to the stage.
Chromophobia also, no man is not lustful.
Yun Xiangrong secretly sneered in his heart, his eyes swept over Huo Chen's body, and when he saw that he was drinking without much interest, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Huo Chen seemed to notice her gaze, and raised his eyes to meet Yun Xiangrong's gaze.
As if he knew what she was thinking, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile flashed in his deep eyes, as if he was very satisfied with Yun Xiangrong's actions.
Yun Xiangrong's face was a little hot, but she didn't wait for her to respond with her gaze. I heard a low exclamation.
Yun Xiangrong followed everyone's gaze, and saw that as the dancing girls dispersed, a girl in a fiery red dance dress stood in the middle of the dancers.
I saw that she had a bewitching figure, and her dance skirt was not as exposed as that of the dancing girls, only when she twisted her waist, a section of white skin on her abdomen was faintly exposed, lined with a fire-like color, giving people a bewitching meaning.
The face was covered with a fiery red scarf, revealing a pair of eyes as hot as fire, looking bewitching, so that people couldn't help but follow her gaze and dancing body.
Although Yun Xiangrong had never seen her in his previous life, he also understood that this person must be the princess who left the country.
As the dance music gradually entered the high court, her dancing posture became more and more enchanting, which caused the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to inhale more than once.
After the dance, the dancers retreated one after another, and the princess strolled up the hall, knelt down to the emperor and saluted, and said: "The second princess who left the country, Huo Lian'er has seen the emperor, long live, long live." ”
The sound is as crisp as the cry of a yellow bird. Listen tactfully.
