Chapter 460: In the Palace
But Chang'an spoke extremely fast, and it was too late for Fu Yunkai to stop him.
So he watched Zhao Ruxi's gaze turn cold.
In her eyes, he must be a man who can't afford to lose and has no responsibility, right?
It's just that Chang'an is dedicated to his own good and fights for himself, Fu Yunkai really can't say anything about him.
Chang'an probably realized that he had said the wrong thing, and said in his mouth: "Childe, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." What Miss Zhao said won't have an impact on you, right? ”
He looked around in horror until he saw that the second floor was empty. Moreover, the teahouse is a place for people to talk about things, and the boss has also thought of some ways to sound insulation. The voices of the guests downstairs could not be heard upstairs, and no one heard their conversation just now.
That Zhao girl was very dignified, he gave her a moral kidnapping without concealment, and she immediately returned them a big hat.
What "for the sake of peace and tranquility at the border, that is, you want to marry a princess, and you dare not refuse if you want to come to the emperor", in this case, if it is heard, it will be bad.
The situation of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion was already embarrassing and sensitive, and the crown prince and the third prince were eager to kill them so that they could cut off the wings of the second prince and the fifth prince. If they use this to make a fuss, the Pingnan Hou Mansion will be in danger.
"Don't worry, it's going to be fine." Fu Yun said.
He made an appointment for Zhao Ruxi to come to the teahouse to meet, so he naturally had to think about her reputation. There seemed to be a few tables of guests downstairs, but the guards sitting next to the stairs were all disguised guards of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
Moreover, Chang An didn't pay attention to it when he was emotional just now, but Fu Yunkai did.
When Zhao Ruxi said the latter sentence, he deliberately lowered his voice. No one could hear them except them.
But it is precisely because of this that this sentence is not unintentionally mentioned, but her angry counterattack to Chang'an's words.
- If you dare to kidnap morally and ruin the reputation of this girl outside, then this girl's words will also spread.
Thinking of this, Fu Yun's regret and discomfort in happiness became stronger and stronger.
At the end, he let out a long sigh: "Forget it, after all, I have no relationship with her." ”
After a pause, he added: "Pass on my orders, don't mention today's events, as if they never happened." ”
"Yes." Chang'an was busy.
Childe doesn't say it, he also has to tell everyone. When today's incident spreads, Zhao Ruxi will lose some of his reputation at most. But they Pingnanhou Mansion want their lives.
He said worriedly: "Miss Zhao won't say it, right?" ”
"No, it won't." Fu Yunkai is very determined.
Fu Yunkai thought that no one knew about today's events, but he didn't know that Xiao Lingyan's two gray-clothed men had been secretly protecting Zhao Ruxi.
In order to prevent Zhao Ruxi from feeling offended by her privacy after knowing about it, Xiao Lingyan specially ordered her subordinates to only protect Zhao Ruxi, not to get too close to her, and not to go out of their way to inquire about her.
But he also explained that if Fu Yunkai came into contact with Zhao Ruxi, he must find out all the details.
Keeping in mind the master's instructions, the man in gray deliberately leaned in to listen to a corner today.
Fu Yunkai and his subordinates are good at the battlefield, but they are different from the dead soldiers specially trained by the royal family who specialize in assassination, tracking, and exploration. The gray-clothed man eavesdropped, but Fu Yunkai and his party didn't notice it at all.
When Zhao Ruxi and Fu Yunkai separated, the gray-clothed man followed one each.
The one who followed Fu Yunkai saw him go back to the Pingnan Hou Mansion directly, so he turned around and went to find Xiao Lingyan and reported the matter to him.
Xiao Lingyan "snapped" and slapped the table hard, his face turned blue with anger.
"It's really bold for him to dare to threaten Xiaoxi to marry him!"
He stood up and spun around twice, waving his hand: "You go back to protect Miss Zhao first." ”
When his subordinates left, he thought for a moment and went directly into the palace.
During the period before the Chinese New Year, because of Zhao Ruxi's incident, the emperor annoyed Concubine Jin and went to Concubine Cen to rest for a night, breaking the situation of Concubine Jin's exclusive favor over the years, and then he has been staying in his own palace of heart cultivation.
Cen Guifei knew that the emperor was jealous of the Cen family, no matter how disappointed the emperor was in Concubine Jin, no matter how much he felt about her, he would not favor her.
She seized this opportunity and let a young concubine in their camp meet the emperor by chance when she had a conflict with her on the surface.
This concubine, regardless of her appearance or personality, was sent to the palace specifically for Xiao Qi's preferences.
It's just that a few years ago, the concubine was favored, and this concubine didn't even have the opportunity to meet the emperor. Now that she has this opportunity, she will naturally not let it go, and she will do her best to attract the emperor.
Sure enough, Xiao Qi flipped over her sign that night.
Concubine Jin was so angry that she wanted to rectify this concubine, where would the other concubines be willing to follow? finally broke the monopoly situation, and everyone naturally did not want to go back to the old way.
Therefore, everyone not only reached out to help, but also sent the concubines who were close to them to the emperor.
Although Xiao Qi was still coaxed back by Concubine Jin in the end, compared with the older Concubine Jin, the young woman is still attractive to Xiao Qi. He no longer favors concubines, and stays with young concubines from time to time.
In addition, the second prince and the third prince became princes and went out of the palace to build a mansion, and the situation in this palace has changed completely.
Seeing her youngest son coming, Cen Guifei was very happy and beckoned to him: "Little Five, come and see which lady you like?" ”
As she spoke, she handed the portrait book in her hand to Xiao Lingyan, and she said very regretfully: "It's a pity that the portrait drawn by Miss Zhiwei is black and white, which is not very lucky." Otherwise, these albums should also be changed, and the drawings are too unrealistic. ”
Xiao Lingyan was like encountering a hot potato, and avoided this portrait booklet.
"Don't give it to me, I won't look at it."
"You're sixteen, it's time to pick a family. Your fourth brother's family affairs have been decided, and they will get married in the second half of the year. You can also get married next year. If you don't pick it at this time, how long will it be delayed? Cen Guifei said angrily.
"Don't pick, I have a girl I like." Xiao Lingyan said.
"Oh?" Cen Guifei looked at him in surprise, "Which girl is it?" ”
"Very, very wonderful girl, you will be satisfied. But I don't want to get married yet, so I can't tell you just yet. Xiao Lingyan said.
He was impulsive just now, and he wanted to enter the palace to tell Cen Guifei about his favorite Zhao Ruxi, so that Cen Guifei could watch it, lest anyone rely on his status and run to Xiao Yu to ask for marriage.
But when Cen Guifei asked, his mind also cleared up.
His relationship with Zhao Ruxi should not be made public. And he knew Zhao Ruxi's temper very well, if he shouted about it without her nod, she would definitely ignore him.
Cen Guifei asked suspiciously: "Why can't you get married, isn't her identity sensitive?" ”
As she spoke, she secretly made up her mind in her heart to call Xiao Liuzi to ask her to see which girl Xiao Lingyan had been getting closer to recently.
