Chapter 9: Destiny Revelation
After listening to what Ouyang Yu said, Gongsun Yuting looked at her quietly, and didn't say a word, he shouldn't know what to say, right? Ouyang Yu looked at him carefully, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"If it was like in the past, I wouldn't ask you, but today's matter is not ordinary, of course, if Yu'er trusts me, I can say nothing, and you don't ask anything, I'll arrange it" Gongsun Yuting pulled Ouyang Yu to sit down and made two cups of tea for the two of them.
"Isn't the princess who wants to marry..."Ouyang Yu once again confirmed what he was thinking.
"Well, I plan to let Qianyu marry the Seventh Prince of the Southern Kingdom, I don't think Yu'er should object" Gongsun Yuting stared at the painting on the wall when he said this, ignoring Ouyang Yu's gaze towards himself, seemingly unintentional, Ouyang Yu felt that he was avoiding his eyes.
"Yu Ting, it's not that I don't believe you, have you forgotten? You have promised me that you will not let my children be involved in the affairs of the government, whether it is Yan Feng or Qianyu, I just want them to live plainly" Ouyang Yu's hand holding the teacup trembled, and his eyes dimmed.
"Yu'er, you also promised me that everything will be based on big things, for Qianyu, she is my daughter, I don't want to be like this more than anyone else, but, Yu'er, you believe me, although I can't give her the right to choose by herself now, but I will let her choose again" Gongsun Yuting retracted his gaze with nowhere to hide, and held Ouyang Yu's trembling hand with both hands, his words were dignified, and no one could question him, not to mention Ouyang Yu, the person next to him.
"The southern kingdom, among the five countries, does not have the military strength that can threaten us, on the other hand, the other three countries are the lords with the most sufficient troops, if they join forces, they will attack at any time, why choose the southern country?" Ouyang Yu let go of the hand holding the teacup and escaped from Gongsun Yuting's palm, her face was not very good.
"The current strength of the southern country is indeed in an unstable state, but it does not mean that they do not have real combat power, the time when the instability of the southern army and the gradual increase in the number of defeats began three years ago, if the news I found is correct, at least three former war generals in the southern country have been secretly replaced, the purpose is very simple, it is obvious that they are waiting for the moment when the southern army is exhausted, so, there is no need for me to say more, Yu'er also knows what this represents" Gongsun Yuting sighed lightly, and the loss of his palm was too obvious, He got up and walked behind Ouyang Yu and hugged her head.
"Are you sure? I don't want Qianyu to become a victim of politics, if it is for the people of Chu, as the king of Chu, of course I know that I should accept any kind of arrangement, but, Yuting, I'm so afraid, I'm afraid that Qianyu will hate me" Ouyang Yutou leaned on Gongsun Yuting's arms, feeling the tenderness with which he stroked his hair.
Before this, there was no connection between the Chu State and the Southern Kingdom, and if you want to say that there is, it is nothing more than that Gongsun Yuting and Ye Qiuke had several relationships when they were young, and the other layer is a secret that Gongsun Yuting decided to bury in his heart.
In the evening, Ye Qiuke was safely delivered to his residence by the palace guards, and after all the guards were sure to leave safely, Ye Qiuke closed the doors and windows, for Gongsun Yuting's kindness, he had no reason to refuse, in fact, with his own kung fu, there was no danger in the Chu State, unless that person had the ability to go against the Chu prince Sun Yuting, because, after they reached a certain consensus, the Chu prince Sun Yuting had already issued an order, no one should offend Ye Cheng.
In the dimly lit room, on the desk, a secret letter is open, there is no letter paper in it, only a small power ring, Ye Qiuke put it aside, drank the wine in his hand, a few glasses of wine in the stomach, Ye Qiuke slowly took out a secret scroll from his arms, opened the volume, looked at it carefully several times, under the lamplight, it can be seen that the back of the scroll is embroidered with delicate patterns, and under closer inspection, it turned out to be the Zhu character pattern of Chu State.
After thinking about it three times, Ye Qiuke put the power ring into the secret scroll, and then came to the door, his hand knocked lightly on the side of the door three times, and a figure appeared quietly outside the door in the dark night, the door was only opened a little crack, Ye Qiuke in the house handed over the secret scroll to the person outside the door, and in an instant, the person disappeared into the night, as if no one had come.
Not many people knew about Ye Qiuke's news in the Chu State, let alone what he had talked about with Sun Yuting, the prince of Chu, and no one knew what kind of task he had left the Chu State overnight.
In the brightly lit Zhilan Palace, the maids were all arranged to wait outside, if there were only Yan Feng and Ouyang Yu in the big dormitory, and Qianyu sleeping on the bed, the crowd of people waiting outside the door discussed in a whisper, but no one knew what happened, only that after the king and the distinguished guest left in the afternoon, the queen mother locked herself in the room, and the maids outside sent dinner and snacks into her without moving, which made Yujing outside worried.
"Seeing that the mother is about to go out of confinement, it's only two days away, why are you in a mood? I don't know if I should inform the king," a little maid muttered quietly, anxiously walking back and forth in the corridor outside.
"Bud, I beg you not to dangle back and forth, okay? We're worried, too! However, I don't know what happened, what can I do? Niangniang not only locked herself in the house and did not eat or drink, but even took Prince Yanfeng and the little princess inside, and the nurse had already coaxed them to sleep at this hour on weekdays" Yujing's little hand patted her head gently, thinking hard about the look on her face when she left this afternoon, and felt that there was nothing wrong, as usual, but the queen's face was not very good.
"I think, especially if you are waiting like this, it is better to inform the king, you can't watch the mother not eat or drink, right? Aren't people often saying that women should take good care of themselves during confinement? Otherwise, what should I do if I fall into any pain? Yazi was still anxiously walking back and forth, and didn't listen to Yujing at all.
"Yazi, we can't bother the king now, besides, let other people know, I don't know what to say, those masters are staring at our mother's side" Yujing looked at the transparent screen window and sighed, it is estimated that she has thought a lot about the few hours she has been waiting outside.
"Sister Yujing, is there anything you can do?" Bud also stared at the light shadow on the window.
"Now, I can only find a way to let Prince Yan Feng persuade Niang Niang to have dinner" Yujing clapped her hands and decided on an idea, she waved to the maids on both sides, and everyone gathered around to listen to her ideas.
As expected, the method that Yujing came up with was feasible, although they outside the door didn't know what method Prince Yan Feng used to make the queen have dinner, but they used a lot of methods to contact Yan Feng in the house, and after tossing, it was already half a night and the moon was cold, and everyone was relieved.
Just when there were two days left in the confinement period of the queen mother's mother, she suddenly assigned Princess Qianyu and Prince Yanfeng's nurse to another place, and took care of the two children herself, which made the people of the entire Zhilan Hall frightened, if outsiders knew, I am afraid that the entire Chu country would be surprised.
Ouyang Yu was out of confinement for more than a month, it was spring at that time, and it was still a little cold outside, Ouyang Yu took Yan Feng and Qianyu to a garden between Yuzhilan Hall and Yuchu Palace, that day Gongsun Yuting was whimsical, went out to relax, and just bumped into it, he hadn't seen Ouyang Yu smile so brightly for a long time, and his heart was finally relieved, he just stood far behind the rockery and the screen and watched, quietly watching the painters in the palace paint them, watching Yan Feng's child dance the sword in the garden without flowers, Watch her tease the baby in her arms.
It was not until they left that Gongsun Yuting slowly recovered from his distraction, and found the painter that night, and his request was that in the future, whenever the queen ordered him to paint, he would draw one more and send it to his dormitory, and no one should know about it.
Time passed quickly, three months passed in the blink of an eye, Ouyang Yu learned from various news that in addition to successfully repelling the foreign invaders in the battle last year, Nanguo also reorganized the rules of the army at the fastest speed, and also established the death gate that Nanwang had never dared to establish, and the current strength and political achievements of Nanguo have almost stabilized.
Although Ouyang Yu has not asked about any affairs in the DPRK and China for nearly half a year, she is very concerned about what happens in the DPRK every day, she not only knows about the recent earth-shaking changes in the southern country, but also knows that the Chu State should secretly be training new troops, because she knows that that person is also in the embankment, and that person also has concerns, and even worries at every step.
Ouyang Yu didn't know how she spent the three months of her confinement, and she didn't know what other people said, because no one dared to tell those gossips directly to her, and those loyal maids in Zhilan Hall would not be stupid enough to hurt their mother's heart with those words, so there was no banquet for Princess Qianyu on the full moon! The queen didn't accept everyone's visits when she was out of confinement, and even Laba before last year didn't say a word! Everyone was dissatisfied, as if she Ouyang Yu was so delicate, but unfortunately, these Ouyang Yu didn't know.
In June, the weather was very hot, Ouyang Yu couldn't coax the two children in the house, helpless, had to lead Yan Feng and Qianyu, who had just learned to walk, to the Yueru Song Pavilion, just took advantage of the cool of the pavilion to sit there, Ouyang Yu was dressed very plain and cool, and the two children were too, Yan Feng helped carry Qianyu in front of her, she shook the embroidered fan and followed behind, and the three of them went to the Yueru Song Pavilion.
Passing through the shaded path, turning left and right, almost when he arrived at the Yueru Song Pavilion, he heard the sound of laughter coming from there, Ouyang Yu should have thought that there must have been someone there for a long time, there should have been a lot of people listening to the sound, and... The voice......
