Chapter Seventy-Two: The Return
"There is indeed some misunderstanding between me and Mr. Zhao, so I made a special trip to clarify this misunderstanding this time!"
"Misunderstanding?" Tian looked at Lin Yufu, it seems that it was really this little girl who made Zhao Yuru so sad!
"Miss Yufu, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the first beauty of our Dayan, our family is not as good-looking as you, but she is the head of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and she is a strange woman who does not lose the world's eyebrows! I can't tolerate you people! I'm not afraid of offending you, if you still want to continue to make fun of her, I don't care what kind of Oiran you are or the prince's new favorite, I will beat you out! โ
Lin Yufu didn't expect Tian's hostility to her to be so great, she stood up, knowing that she wouldn't be able to see Zhao Yuru who was angry today, so she saluted and turned around and left Zhao's mansion.
Because she was depressed, she didn't get into the carriage, but just wandered around the street, and unknowingly, attracted a bunch of onlookers.
"Girl, girl! You'd better get in the carriage! Xincha chased after her, trying to block the crowd of onlookers for her.
Only then did Lin Yufu realize that she was surrounded by people.
"Wow, Lin Yufu is really a heavenly immortal!"
"Yes, looking at her appearance, she came out of the Zhao Mansion?"
"I heard that she has a close personal relationship with the fat lady of the Zhao family recently!"
"That Zhao Yuru? Oh my God, she's embarrassed to stand with Miss Yufu? It's my words, I'm ashamed! โ
"That's it! What kind of face? โ
The criticism of the people around her came into Lin Yufu's ears, and she turned around a little angrily, looking at the crowd in front of her, and she didn't know who had just said it.
Seeing Lin Yufu turning around and glaring at them, those gossiping people also stopped talking.
"Is it a big sin to not be good-looking enough?" She said angrily: "Don't you see the heroic actions of President Zhao's head coach to protect his family and defend the country?" She is squandered her blood on the front line, risking her life to protect you, are you slandering her so much behind your back? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? โ
When they heard this, they looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Or does it matter, no matter how well she does and how much she achieves, just because she is a woman, she has to be made fun of by you because of her appearance? Do you make fun of a man for being ugly? Will it? Coach Zhao is such a hero, she has to be so instructed by you, what if she is just an ordinary woman? Do you know that what you say can drive people to death? She stepped forward, and the men, knowing that they were talking too much, lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
"Oh, Miss Yufu, we're just talking a few more words, don't be angry!" An older man stepped forward and said with a smile on his face.
Xincha also hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Lin Yufu and said, "Girl, let's go back quickly!" You're here, you're going to cause a commotion! โ
Lin Yufu's expression was gloomy, and she was numbly pulled away by the new tea.
Returning to the carriage, Lin Yufu said sadly: "Xincha, you see, no matter what I say or do, just because I am good-looking, there are always people who smile at me!" โ
Xincha was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "Girl, what are you talking about, since I was a child, even my mother is reluctant to say a heavy word to you!" What are they, dare not give you a smile? โ
Lin Yufu glanced at Xincha and knew that she couldn't understand her heart.
She also understood that Zhao Yuru would be so angry all of a sudden, drinking her cherished wine was just a fuse, the real reason was probably because she saw that the lives of the two were completely different at this time, a woman who was once held by the stars suddenly became a fat girl who was pointed at, even if she was optimistic by nature, but how long can she be optimistic?
Wine, money, beauty and the prince should have belonged to her.
I'm just a dove occupying a magpie's nest, why do you forget your identity?
"Girl, what are you thinking?" Xincha took out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes and said, "Don't listen to those people's farts, you never cared about what others said before, and the most important thing is to be happy!" โ
"You're open-minded!" Lin Yufu said helplessly.
"I learned it all from you, girl!" Xincha said with a smile without hesitation.
"Really?" Lin Yufu squeezed out a smile, if she could learn this open-mindedness, how good would it be?
But she didn't know at this time that it would not be long before something even more unacceptable would come to her.
In the deep palace, Yan Xiyue was sitting in the palace, looking at the sound of playing, her expression was indifferent, and even the laughter of a child could not make her smile a little.
"Cherish the moon!" At this time, Concubine Wang came over, she held a plate of snacks in her hand, and handed it to Yan Xiyue.
"Wang Niangniang, I don't eat!" Yan Xiyue shook her head and refused.
"How can I do it without eating? Listen to your palace maid, you have eaten less and slept less in the past few days, and if you continue like this, your body will collapse! โ
"I'm fine!"
"Even if you don't eat it, think about your child. Su'er asked me yesterday why my aunt didn't like to eat shortbread, saying that my aunt didn't eat it, and she didn't eat it either! โ
This remark really made Yan Xiyue a little relieved, she raised her eyes and said, "Really? โ
"Don't believe you ask the child yourself!"
At this time, Suyin ran over, and Concubine Wang hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it on her face. She picked up a piece of shortbread on the table, looked at Yan Xiyue who was sitting on the side, and then broke half of the cake and handed it to her.
"Auntie, eat the cake! Delicious! โ
Faced with the child's innocent smile, she finally showed a sincere smile.
"Good!" She took the cake with both hands and took a bite. Princess Suyin ran away happily.
Seeing her sad eyes, Concubine Wang sighed, took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of the child!" โ
Yan Xiyue nodded weakly, and said with a wry smile: "I know, Wang Niangniang, you have always treated Suyin as your own daughter, I am very grateful!" โ
"It's nothing, if it weren't for your mother back then, I'm afraid I would have been a pile of bones by now. It's lonely in this palace, it's a long night, and it's better to have a child with me! โ
"I have already told the imperial brother, when Su'er grows up and reaches the age of marriage, you can go out of the palace with her and spend your old age in Dingyang County!"
When Concubine Wang heard this, she said with a little relief and pity: "This leisure should have been your enjoyment!" โ
Wang Niangniang laughed, even if I don't marry Beiban, I can't live with Su'er forever! I hope that when she grows up, you can educate her well, and don't let her make the same mistakes as me! โ
"You kidยทยทยทยทยทยท" Concubine Wang sighed and did not speak.
"Are you going not to tell Lord Zhao about this for the rest of your life?"
Yan Xiyue was stunned for a moment, shook her head violently and said, "Don't disturb his stable life." His wife is innocent, and it is us who have made the mistake! โ
Concubine Wang glanced at her meaningfully, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then said, "Okay, then don't tell him!" โ
Just as they were talking, Grandpa Hu walked in from outside the door.
"See the eldest princess, see the concubine!" He saluted respectfully, then looked at Yan Xiyue and said, "Eldest princess, the emperor is invited!" โ
"What's the matter with Brother Huang?" Yan Xiyue asked with some displeasure.
"This slave doesn't know, please hurry up the eldest princess!"
Yan Xiyue stood up, glanced at Concubine Wang, sighed in her heart, and followed Gonggong Hu to Yan Linyu, just now, the king of Nan'an County was also there!
"See the Emperor! Uncle Huang! She bowed to the two of them.
Yan Linyu looked at his sister, but in a few days, he had lost a lot of weight, his face was no longer bright, and he was a little distressed when he looked at him.
He and the king of Nan'an County glanced at each other, and his heart was a little more determined.
"Sit down!" He said with some distress: "Why have you lost weight like this in the past few days?" โ
"Maybe it's hot and humid, so I don't have much appetite!" Yan Xiyue smiled reluctantly and said, "Brother Huang, what is the matter with you coming to me this time?" โ
Yan Linyu hesitated for a while, thought for a long time, and then said slowly: "That's the case, I have been thinking about it for a long time. After all, we are close relatives of flesh and blood, and I can't bear to let you marry far away! โ
Hearing this, Yan Xiyue was stunned, she raised her head and looked at Yan Linyu in disbelief, what did he mean? Could it be that you don't have to kiss each other?
Impossible, the holy decree has been issued, and the letter from the Northern Barbarian asking to marry the princess is still in the imperial study. How could the emperor ignore the peace between the two countries and cancel the peace relationship?
"What are you talking about?" Yan Xiyue looked at Yan Linyu with some puzzlement and said: "If you want to enlighten me, then don't worry, I have already decided to go and kiss, I don't need you to say, I will also go." โ
"No, I'm serious! Because I have a better person than you! โ
Yan Xiyue looked at him and the king of Nan'an, her eyes full of doubts.
In Zhao's mansion, after Zhao Yuru vented his emotions, he finally calmed down.
Tian walked in, looked at Zhao Yuru, and said distressedly: "Little sister, I have already sent you away, and I have warned her, next time she will not bully you again!" โ
Zhao Yuru looked at Tian and said suspiciously, "How do you know that she bullied me?" โ
"Sister-in-law can't see it? Those beautiful girls always like to satisfy their vanity by ridiculing women who are not as good as themselves. Of course, sister-in-law didn't say you weren't good-looking! You're much better than they can do! โ
Zhao Yuru wanted to refute, but after thinking for a while, she found that what she said seemed to be right, when she was still Lin Yufu, she also bullied people in Qinyunju!
"It's not bullying, it's just ยทยทยทยทยทยท It's complicated! โ
Tian looked clear, approached her and said, "I know, now Lin Yufu is the woman of the King of Huaiyang, I heard that the prince likes her very much, so you feel uncomfortable, right?" โ
Zhao Yuru felt a little embarrassed, she relied on the King of Huaiyang back then, are there still people who don't know?
"It's not exactly this, there have been some things recently, very strange things have happened to me, maybe I'll explain it to you later. Maybe this thing will finally get back on track. โ
Tian was entangled by her words, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, since you don't want to say it, then don't say it, are you in a better mood now?" Sister-in-law going to make you something to eat? โ
"I don't want to eat it right now!" Zhao Yuru shook her head, she was a little confused. When she was still Lin Yufu, she felt that the days passed quickly, she went to sleep, played the piano, and accompanied the guests at night, and the day passed.
But now that she is Zhao Yuru, whenever she is free, she doesn't know what she should do or what she can do.
"Otherwise, I'll go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to have a look!" She sighed, she didn't expect that she would take the initiative to go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to train her troops!
"Good! Go now! Tian said with a smile: "I'll go and steam a few steamed buns for you, so that you won't be hungry later!" โ
"No ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Before Zhao Yuru could refuse, Tian hurriedly walked out.
"Okay!" Zhao Yuru smiled bitterly, consciously changed into armor, and then took down the pair of copper hammers.
Looking at the surrounding rooms that had been demolished by herself, she sighed: "Not to mention anything else, the power of the two of you is really not to be underestimated!" โ
Packing up themselves, she and Doroku walked to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing with expressionless faces.
Before he stepped into the training ground, he heard a deafening shout.
"Wow!" After Zhao Yuru heard this, his spirit suddenly perked.
"I'm not here, but they're also conscious!"
"You're not here, those lieutenants don't dare to slack off!" Doroku said with a smile.
Zhao Yu got off the horse and walked in, and everyone who saw her respectfully saluted her. Those trained soldiers did not squint, and completed their moves seriously and rigorously!
On the stage, there was a middle-aged man with a dark face, and when he saw Zhao Yuru coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Vice General Dong!" Zhao Yuru smiled, she heard Lin Yufu say that this Deputy General Dong is upright and good at equestrianism.
"The head coach is finally here today!" Vice General Dong still said with a serious face: "If you don't come again, I'm afraid you won't even remember the faces of our deputy generals!" โ
Looking at the dissatisfaction written on his face, Zhao Yuru snorted, and Lin Yufu also said that this Deputy General Dong, no matter who he is, is impersonal and extremely serious.
"Oh, Vice General Dong, there have been a lot of things recently, and you know, I went pearl diving in Gwangju and almost lost my life. The post-sealing ceremony is imminent, and Lord Qi Yun is coming back. Bright and secret, there are so many undercurrents! โ
Although Vice General Dong's black face did not move at all, his eyes had already understood Zhao Yuru.
Besides, what she said was right, although she had not been in contact with those conspiracies and conspiracy in the court before, but now she is in a high position, and she can somehow spy on some of the dirt.
No wonder the king of Nan'an County told him that he could touch anything, but he couldn't touch this power.
Lord Qi Yun hasn't come back yet, and two factions have been formed in the court, one is to let the Zhao family replace Qi Yun to go to the Northern Barbarians, and the other wants the King of Huaiyang to take over.
No matter who it is, it will leave endless hidden dangers for the emperor.
These days, Zhao Guanming is also frowning, probably not knowing what to do.
He naturally wants to go, it has nothing to do with power or anything, he purely wants to have a good fight with the Northern Barbarians!
But he is not a reckless man, knowing that this is a hot potato, no matter whether he wins or loses, it is difficult to find a way out.
If you lose, you are a sinner for the ages.
If you win, you will be the master.
Presumably Yan Linjun thinks the same way!
Zhao Yuru shook his head and glanced at the recruits he had trained.
No matter who will replace Lord Qi Yun to guard the northern border in the end, one thing is certain, these recruits will go to the battlefield with them when the time comes!
Those immature faces, maybe some of them won't come back!
"I'm worried about what they're doing?" Zhao Yuru frowned, thinking that her emotions have been fluctuating too easily recently, right? I still care about them, and when the time comes, if I really go to the battlefield, whether I can come back is the point!
"Salty and don't worry about eating radish!" She scolded herself, pretending to walk through the crowd, when she suddenly saw a familiar face.
It was He Xiaofeng who she specially pointed out last time to learn martial arts with Deng Hu.
I haven't seen him for a few days, but his martial arts have grown a lot!
He Xiaofeng also saw Zhao Yuru and smiled at her, and then Vice General Dong whipped it over.
"Be attentive!"
"Yes!" He Xiaofeng, who was beaten, didn't dare to speak, so he straightened his mind and continued to practice.
Zhao Yuru, who was on the side, widened his eyes, this Deputy General Dong was really very strict!
"That's it!" Zhao Yuru patted him on the shoulder and said: "Tomorrow is the day of rest and rectification in the camp, I have already ordered the kitchen in the camp at night, a few good dishes and good wine, everyone is happy, tomorrow, you should rest, you should go out to see your mother and wife and children, just go out!" After tomorrow, who knows what will happen! โ
Vice General Dong was stunned for a moment, and understood what Zhao Yuru meant, it seems that Dayan and Beiban are really tense!
Who said no, Qi Yun was ready to return to Beijing, his subordinates packed their bags for him, and said with some concern: "My lord, yesterday the spies came to report that the frame of Prince Sumeng had set off from the royal capital!" If we are fast, we can be a day faster than them! โ
Qi Yun sighed, he looked at everything in his account, after he went back, he might not come again!
He was supposed to leave three days ago, but he dragged it out until now.
As long as he stays here for one more day, then there will be one more day of stability between the two countries!
"After I go back, let Vice General Zhang guard this place well. I only took a hundred people back and walked down the path. Remember, you bring food to my tent as usual, and keep quiet! โ
"Yes! But sooner or later, the Northern Barbarians will find out that you're not there! โ
"I know, but when I find out, their crown prince is also within the borders of our Dayan!"
The subordinates understood what he meant, and nodded in response.
"These things are all put away for me as they are, and not a grain of sand can be wrong!"
"Yes!"
Qi Yun touched these familiar maps and sand tables, and he didn't know who would take over.
"My lord, who will come here for you?"
Qi Yun shook his head, sighed and said, "I don't know either!" โ
"I hope it's Lord Zhao who comes, their family is loyal, and they will definitely be able to guard the northern border!"
Qi Yun smiled bitterly, all his five sons died on the battlefield, and his only daughter also died in the deep palace. He understands too well, this position, sitting too painfully!
"No matter who comes, it won't end much better than me!" Qi Yun grabbed a handful of sand from the sand table, put it in a cloth bag, and then left here without looking back.
In the dim tent, those weapons, those maps, those flags on the sand table, all quietly, waiting for their next master!
