Chapter 103: No longer a slave
On the third day, Yunlou held a banquet to entertain Xiao Qijin.
"Lord Xiao, are you still satisfied with these drinks and meals, as well as singing and dancing?" Yun Lou asked with a smile.
Xiao Qijin had an uninhibited smile on his face, "It's good to go back to the emperor." ”
"It's good that Lord Xiao is satisfied."
"Your Majesty, it's been three days, I don't know if the exquisite chess game brought by Xiao has been solved?" Xiao Qijin asked.
The smile on Yun Lou's face paused, and he coughed lightly, "This solution, naturally, there is, but Lord Xiao also knows that this chess game is not easy, and it will take some time." ”
Xiao Qijin held the wine glass and chuckled, "What the emperor said is that the emperor forgives me, but Xiao always heard others say that there are many people who can do it before coming to Da Liang, Xiao thinks that these three days are too much for those who can be very cool, it seems that Xiao is too anxious." ”
Xiao Qijin smiled and spoke, this sounds like he is taking the reason for himself, but in fact, he is saying that those who are capable of saying that the great cool ability is not as good as the rumors.
"Lord Xiao, don't worry, there are indeed many people who are capable of great coolness, just our emperor's prince is all smart, this chess game will not be long before it will be solved." Liu Fangfei said.
Although Yun Lou had a smile on his face, the displeasure in his eyes was already overflowing.
Xiao Qijin represents Chi Zhou, which already makes him lose face.
He just hated that someone couldn't solve the game right now!
"The chess game has been solved." Suddenly.
Everyone was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, it was Yun Rongjue who spoke.
After Yunlou was surprised, his face was full of anticipation, "Jue'er is unraveled?!" ”
Liu Fangfei frowned, glanced at Yun Feng on the side, and said, "His Royal Highness King Lin'an is unlocked?" If you haven't solved it yet, don't be in a hurry and say something urgent. ”
"Fifth brother won't talk nonsense, fifth brother, have you untied it?" Yun Huang looked at Yun Rongjue expectantly.
Yun Rongjue clasped his fists with both hands towards Yunlou, "Father, the son has solved the chess game." ”
Yun Lou was delighted, "Quick, let's talk." ”
Xiao Qijin raised his eyebrows and motioned for his entourage to present the exquisite chess game. Yun Rongjue walked to the center, little by little, in front of everyone, and untied the chess game.
Yun Lou's eyes widened, "Okay! Good! He turned his head to look at Xiao Qijin, "Lord Xiao, how is it?" ”
Xiao Qijin stepped forward, looked at it, nodded with a chuckle, and then clapped with his hands, "The chess game has been solved, Xiao admires." ”
"Hahaha." Yun Lou raised his head and laughed.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to His Royal Highness King Lin'an." The crowd chimed in.
The Linglong chess game was solved, and everyone was happy, even Xiao Qijin never had half of the annoyance that the chess game was solved. Liu Fangfei glanced at Yun Feng, and both of them had a bad face.
They wanted to take advantage of the chess game to rejoice in Boyun Tower, but they didn't expect that Yun Rongjue would take the lead again!
Xiao Qijin turned his eyes to look at Yun Rongjue, and there was a shallow look of appreciation in his eyes, "I have long heard that His Royal Highness King Daliang Lin'an is naturally smart and astute, and today Xiao saw it, and sure enough. ”
Yun Rongjue unraveled the Linglong chess game, so that Yun Lou did not lose face, Yun Lou was overjoyed, "Jue'er is my beloved son, he has been smart since he was a child, and he has solved a lot of worries for me, this Linglong chess game is not a difficult thing for him." ”
Yunlou's praise and joy fell into the eyes and ears of Liu Fangfei and others, and it was not very happy.
But a few people were helpless except for being angry, who let this chess game be solved by Yun Rongjue.
"Father, the son has solved this chess game, but this chess game is not solved by the son alone."
As soon as Yun Rongjue's words came out, everyone was surprised, and Yun Lou was even more surprised, "Oh? Who else has solved this chess game besides Jue'er? ”
"The servant beside Erchen, Jiang Wu."
"Jiang Wu?" Yunlou was surprised, he was no stranger to this name, especially remembering that the little girl looked beautiful and had some skills.
It's just that he didn't expect that girl to have this mental ability in addition to those skills of serving tea and making meals.
"His Royal Highness King Lin'an is not wrong, I remember that the one named Jiang Wu is a little prisoner, how can she solve this exquisite chess game." Yun Zhao sarcastically.
"Eh, His Royal Highness King Huai is wrong in what he said," Xiao Qijin said, "Whether this is a chess game or not, what does it have to do with identity, this chess game is not written on the face and says that only people with noble status can solve it." ”
Xiao Qijin's foil, blocking Yun Zhao's words, Liu Fangfei glanced at Yun Zhao, shook her head, and Yun Zhao pursed her lips and kept silent.
"Bring that girl over, I ask, if she really unraveled it, but it is not simple, it should be a good reward."
Jiang Wu was in Yilan Xuan, and when he learned that he was summoned, he almost thought that he had heard it wrong or that the palace people had misspoken it, and now this hour was the time when the emperor and the princes and ministers were feasting on the envoys of Chizhou.
What will happen when she is summoned at this time?
Although Jiang Wu had many doubts, he didn't dare to delay too much and followed the palace people.
When he arrived at the main hall, Jiang Wu saw the people in the hall, and the more nervous he became, "Slave see the emperor." She walked to the center and knelt down.
Yun Lou let her get up and asked, "Listen to Jue'er, you have also solved this exquisite chess game?" But really? ”
Jiang Wu subconsciously glanced at Yun Rongjue, and then nodded slowly, "Back to the emperor, yes." ”
"You can do it again." Yunlou said.
Although Yun Lou didn't think that Yun Rongjue would lie, he was really surprised that this little girl could solve this complicated chess game, and he also wanted to see if it was true.
Xiao Qijin ordered someone to rearrange the chess game, and the chessboard that had laid out the chess game was presented in front of Jiang Wu, Jiang Wu watched, and slowly untied the chess game with the memory of watching his mother fiddle with it before.
Everyone watched, and as Jiang Wu unlocked the chess game, everyone's faces were surprised.
"Back to the emperor, the slave is untied." She withdrew her hand and said respectfully.
Xiao Qijin looked at it with a smile on her face.
After being surprised, Yun Lou raised his voice and laughed, "Okay, good." ”
"Envoy Xiao, I solved this chess game with the prince, and I can also solve it with the little prisoner, it can be seen that my Daliang is full of talents, and there are many virtuous people." A minister spoke, his words full of pride, and even a little contempt for Chi Zhou.
Xiao Qijin naturally heard the words in the minister's words, and he was not ashamed or annoyed, "What this adult said is, but Xiao thinks that there are these virtuous people, but there are not many, and this chess game has so far only been solved by His Royal Highness King Lin'an and this girl, and only His Royal Highness King Lin'an is virtuous, do the rest of the adults ......" Xiao Qijin lowered his eyebrows and chuckled.
Xiao Qijin's words were directly blocked by Fang Cai's words, and he also went back with a little contempt.
The minister's face changed, he turned his head to look at Yun Lou, Yun Lou glared in displeasure, and he stepped aside.
"If this capable person catches it everywhere, then it will not show his extraordinary ability, I am so cool, think about it, Chi Zhou is also, all in all, Lord Xiao's chess game, within a limited time, was solved by my capable person, and it did not disappoint Lord Xiao." Yunlou said.
Xiao Qijin smiled and didn't say much.
"Jue'er has won my heart, and I should be rewarded for my deeds."
Yunlou was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded Yunrong Jue with a mansion.
After Yun Lou's reward came out, Yun Zhao's face changed suddenly, he was married, and he had not yet established his own house, Yun Rongjue was not married, but he was ahead of him? !
Liu Fangfei's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "This is really a great reward, it has always been a married prince who has the opportunity to set up his own house, His Royal Highness King Lin'an has not yet married, but he has received such a reward, it is really a blessing." ”
Yun Lou smiled and turned to look at Jiang Wu, "You have a good blue heart, you have solved this exquisite chess game, I should also reward you, what do you want?" ”
Jiang Wu blinked, she hadn't thought about asking for any reward, so Yunlou suddenly asked, which made her a little dazed.
Yun Rongjue glanced at her, there was a bit of a gesture in his eyes, Jiang Wu was clear and silent.
Yun Rongjue stepped forward and said: "Father, she is a servant by the side of her son, and her reward will be dominated by her son." ”
Yunlou bowed, "Jue'er said yes." ”
"I hope that my father will give her the status of a slave." Yun Rongjue said.
After Yun Rongjue's request was spoken, it caused a lot of discussion.
"The grace that the fifth brother asked for for this girl is really great." Yun Zhao sneered with the corners of his mouth slanted.
Jiang Wu also looked at Yun Rongjue in a little surprise, Yun Rongjue's request was also something she didn't expect.
It would be nice for her to get rid of the status of a slave.
"Father, it's not easy for her little girl to solve this exquisite chess game, and her father rewarded her with the status of a prisoner, which is actually not too much." Yun Huang opened his mouth to speak.
The surprise on Yun Lou's face disappeared, and he changed to a smile, "It's not too much, of course it's not too much, okay, I'll reward you today, and in the future, you will no longer be a prisoner, just like an ordinary maid in the palace." ”
"Thank you for your grace."
"Thank you for your grace."
Jiang Wu was rewarded by Yunlou and removed from the status of a prisoner, and it quickly spread.
Many palace people congratulated her.
"Xiao Wu, congratulations." Nanfu waited for the people to disperse before she stepped forward.
Jiang Wu was also happy, and pulled Nanfu to chat for a long time.
"It's okay now, Xiao Wu, you are no longer a slave, and your life in the palace will be much better in the future." Nanfu said.
Jiang Wu smiled and bowed his head.
yes, it's going to be much better.
Although she followed Yun Rongjue's side, Yun Rongjue treated her very well, and the palace people next to her did not dare to bully her at will, but, before that, she finally had the identity of a prisoner and slave pressed on her body.
"Actually, His Royal Highness King Lin'an wants to get rid of Xiao Wu's status as a prisoner, you can make your own decision, and you don't have to let the emperor reward you." Nanfu was a little puzzled.
The prisoner slave is the most despicable in Da Liang, but after the prisoner follows the master, the identity changes, which can be changed according to the master's will, especially the master of the prince's identity, just like Jiang Qiao, after being recruited by Yun as a concubine, he is no longer a slave.
Jiang Wu puffed out his lips, thinking about Nanfu's question, and felt a little strange.
After nightfall, Yun Rongjue came back, she waited for Yun Rongjue to wash up and sleep, and when the two talked, she asked casually.
Yun Rongjue lowered his eyes and said: "This hall can get rid of your slave body, but if this matter is ordered by the emperor, the people in this palace will not dare to talk about it and ridicule you." ”
He could have freed herself from being a slave, but if that were the case, those people would not stop talking, and they might not have been sarcastic about her, and he used her to solve the delicate chess game.
Her removal of the body of a prisoner is a reward from the emperor after unlocking the chess game, and no one dares to say anything about it.
Jiang Wu listened, with deep emotions in his heart, he got rid of the prisoner body for her, and thought so much for her.
"Your Highness." She said with a gleam of emotion.
Yun Rongjue's sword eyebrows moved slightly, "Huh? It's time for you to change your claims. ”
Jiang Wu was stunned and hurriedly changed his words, "The slave knows." ”
……
Changle Palace.
Yun Rongjue shined at the banquet, and the news of Yun Lou's long face soon spread throughout the palace.
"Congratulations to Niangniang, Your Highness has a long face for the emperor this time, and the emperor will be overjoyed." Caixia said.
But Chu Yin still had no emotion on his face.
After a while, I heard the voice of the people in the palace outside shouting, "The emperor has arrived." ”
Chu Yin put away the emotions on his face and got up to greet him, "The concubine sees the emperor." Yun Lou hurriedly helped her up.
"The emperor is holding a banquet to entertain the envoys of the Chizhou Dynasty today, the hour is late, you should rest early, and you don't need to come to the concubines again." Chu Yin said.
Yun Lou looked at Chu Yin with a smile and pulled her to his side, "It's okay, I want to see Yin'er, and I also want to talk to Yin'er." ”
Chu Yin took the tea handed by the palace people and offered it.
"Yin'er, our Jue'er is really competitive, this exquisite chess game, no one in the Manchu Dynasty can solve it, only Jue'er, it's solved! If it weren't for Jue'er, I was afraid that this time in front of the envoys of the Chizhou Dynasty, we would lose face. ”
Chu Yin smiled lightly, "It's Jue'er's luck." ”
"Eh, it's not," Yunlou waved his hand, "It's our Jue'er who is smart." ”
Chu Yin smiled lightly and was silent.
In the middle of the night, everything calmed down. The people around him were sleeping soundly, Chu Yin looked at it, his calm eyes were no longer calm, and there were waves underneath, and there was a touch of hatred curled up in the waves.
The best revenge for a person is to destroy it little by little, like Ling Chi, and ...... everything he cares about
————
The dust settled on Chi Zhou's problem for Da Liang, and in a few days, Yunlou and Xiao Qijin discussed major matters with the benefit of the two countries.
During this period, the Bitang Kingdom welcomed the envoys and also came to Daliang by order.
"What's wrong with the princess, this embroidery is very good." Jiang Wu looked at Yun Qingqing lying on the table weakly, her eyes full of tiredness.
Yun Qingqing supported her forehead with one hand, her eyes blinked, "You know that Bitang Kingdom is coming to envoys, right?" ”
Jiang Wu nodded.
Such a major event is well known to the palace.
Yun Qingqing pursed her lips, "The envoy is here, which means that this princess will get married soon, I'm worried." ”
"Didn't the princess figure it out?" Jiang Wu stroked the silk thread in his hand.
"This princess has figured it out and knows that this matter can't be changed, but during this time, this princess has snooped and heard that the three princes are very unfavored in Bitang, his father doesn't value him, and I heard that his brother is also disgusted with him, and his popularity is not good, and more importantly, ...... I heard that he looks ugly! ”
Yun Qingqing sighed, feeling extremely unlucky!
She wants to marry someone with her relatives, and she still marries such a useless person.
Jiang Wu smiled helplessly, "The princess only heard what people said, maybe it's because she hears it?" She said.
Yun Qingqing pursed her lips, "But perhaps, there is no wind and no waves." ”
Not......
Both make sense.
"Such a person, this princess married in the past, I'm afraid she will not have a good life," Yun Qingqing sighed, "Actually, it doesn't matter if he is not favored, this princess doesn't care about these things, but his appearance is not good, and this princess can't even be pleasing to the eye." ”
"No, the princess is relieved," Jiang Wu said with a smile, "The slave maid has heard from the master about the Bitang Kingdom, and I heard that the monarch of the Bitang Kingdom was also very good when he was young, and if so, his child's appearance should not be much worse." ”
Yun Qingqing tilted her head, "I hope." ”
"Mrs. Chu."
The voice of the maid next to them pulled the two emotions back, and when they saw Chu Yin and the two of them, they quickly stood up.
"See Mrs. Chu."
"Chu Niangniang'an."
"Get up," Chu Yin's indifferent eyes settled on the two of them for a moment, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Back to Chu Niangniang, Qingqing embroidered a scarf."
Chu Yin glanced at the needlework and embroidery on the table, and chuckled, "Yes, you will get married soon, and you will have to do all these things after becoming an adult." ”
"Yes."
Chu Yin Ruoyi glanced at Jiang Wu and looked away for a moment, "Okay, then the palace won't bother you." ”
Chu Yin turned around and left after speaking.
"Envoy of Bitang Kingdom, it's coming soon, right?" Chu Yin walked slowly and asked.
"Back to Niangniang, it will be there in about two days."
The corners of Chu Yin's red lips were imperceptibly tugged, "Okay, in this palace, it's time to be lively again." ”
When passing through the corridor outside the Chengming Palace, I saw Xiao Qijin coming towards him.
Xiao Qijin saw a woman dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and the internal officials beside her pointed out.
"It's Xiao Envoy, right?" Chu Yin spoke first.
"Xiao Qijin has seen Mrs. Chu."
Chu Yin saw Xiao Qijin's appearance clearly, he was handsome, and his eyebrows and eyes were ......
Chu Yin shook his head for a moment.
Jin'er ......
Being stared at intently by Chu Yin, Xiao Qijin was a little uncomfortable, "Mrs. Chu, why do you look at Xiao like this, isn't it that Xiao has something on him, which makes Mrs. laugh." ”
Only then did Chu Yin come back to her senses, she felt out of shape, and coughed lightly, "It's nothing, it's just that Mrs. Ben heard that Xiao Envoy made a sophisticated and exquisite chess game, and the chess game is special." ”
Xiao Qijin smiled, "The chess game is precise and special, and there are many people who are very good, Xiao Mou's chess game is still broken, and I am ashamed." ”
Xiao Qijin is a foreign man in the end, and it is not good to talk to Chu Yin, so he found an excuse and left.
Xiao Qijin left, but Chu Yin looked at Xiao Qijin's back, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"He's young." Chu Yin said.
"Yes, I heard that this Xiao envoy is only in his early twenties, but in Chizhou, he is already a national teacher, and he is in a high position." Caixia said.
"If Jin'er in this palace is still alive, she should be so old...... Jin...... What a good name. Chu Yin muttered.
Caixia trembled her eyes, "Niangniang, let's go back to the palace." ”
Chu Yin had a look of loss in his eyes, "Let's go." ”
……
The envoys of the Bitang Kingdom and their team arrived in Chang'an two days later and entered the palace.
Yun Qingqing's wedding day is approaching, and the palace is also busier.
The phoenix crown and the wedding dress also fell into it one by one.
"This wedding dress is so beautiful, the princess will be stunning when she wears it!" The palace maid praised.
"It's pretty good, isn't it?" Yun Qingqing looked at Jiang Wu with a smile.
Jiang Wu nodded.
This wedding dress and wedding crown are specially made by Yunlou, the workmanship is fine, and the embroidery and embroidery on the wedding dress are Suzhou embroidery, which is very precious.
