Chapter 236: Searching for the Far Reaches of the World (I)
Autumn Pavilion.
Su Liruo pondered, frowned, and half a month passed, I wonder if they received an invitation?
During this period of time, Yan Xingchen didn't make any movement, which made her relaxed for a while, but when she counted the days with her fingers, her heart hung again. If they have no news, and the wedding date is only half a month left, do they really want to put themselves in? She thought about Yan Jingnan's trust, and felt very guilty in her heart.
Su Liruo's eyes were full of melancholy, thinking about it, even if she was in danger, she was not Yan Xingchen's opponent, even if there were Ye Jingsong and Hui Wu, she still had no chance of winning.
Seeing that the sun was strong, Guzhu had already shone obliquely into the side of the pavilion, and Su Liruo was unaware of it, stunned in a daze.
Gu Zhu motioned to Gu Yun to get an umbrella to cover the shade, looking at Su Liruo, she was secretly anxious in her heart: Madame's temper is really strong! I'm always dizzy these days, and I'm just getting better, so I don't care about my body!
Gu Zhu could see that Emperor Chong loved Su Liruo very much, but she was depressed, and the warmth revealed from her eyes was not love, it seemed to be more like a relative.
Gu Zhu has always been unable to figure it out, Emperor Chong did not hesitate to use a city to protect Su Liruo's thoughtfulness, and the opponent was his father?
Gu Zhu shook his head, sure enough, he was still a child of the rivers and lakes, happy and happy, the love entanglement of these royal nobles was really incomprehensible.
At this time, Gu Yun came over with an umbrella, she took it, approached Su Liruo's side, and held up an umbrella for her to shield herself from the sun.
Su Liruo turned around, smiled at her, and nodded in thanks.
In the past few days of getting along, Gu Zhu has always wondered: she is really a strange person, she seems to be soft and weak, but her indifferent face and sharp eyes, how can she look like the unique anger of a Jianghu person?
Gu Zhu couldn't help but say: "Madam, it's noon, it's not appropriate to stay too long, not to mention that Madame's health is not good, let's go back to the house and rest!"
Su Liruo shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay, sit down for a while, don't get in the way, I'm not so weak."
Gu Zhu sighed: "It's not good for Madam to be so stubborn, obviously she has been unwell, but she doesn't let Your Majesty know?" If you look at it, let the imperial doctor come and take a look, don't you worry? ”
Su Liruo got up slowly, looked through the shady place on the side of the pavilion, glanced at the lush and charming flowers in the garden, and said lightly: "I am homesick, nothing else!"
"Madame is not from Yuguo?" Gu Zhu suddenly realized and said, "No wonder it's sullen!"
"It used to be, and then I went to a foreign country, and I was looking for a place of peace that became a concern in my heart." Su Liruo's gaze was far away, and he seemed to be floating beyond the end of the world.
The place of peace she said was Yueyi Villa, and her concern was naturally Feng Xuanyu.
But how can Lone Pearl understand? She was like falling into the clouds, frowning, and didn't know how to answer the topic!
Su Liruo finally withdrew her eyes, walked out of the gazebo, and walked towards the living room. Halfway through, seeing Xiao Fuzi coming in a hurry, her heart chuckled, and she felt that something was urgent!
Su Liruo stopped, Gu Zhu held the umbrella and made his eyes, and Gu Yun stepped forward to stop Xiao Fuzi and prevent him from approaching.
"It was His Majesty who asked the servant to come and tell Madame!" Xiao Fuzi was anxious.
Su Liruo instructed Gu Zhu with a side face: "Let him come over, without His Majesty's will, he will not dare to enter the Qiu Yi Pavilion."
Xiao Fuzi nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking rice, looking at the strict Lone Bead two with an eager expression.
Gu Zhu bowed his head, and Gu Yun withdrew his palm and stepped aside.
Xiao Fuzi came to Su Liruo, bowed and saluted, and said, "Madam, the guard who delivered the post has returned to report that the post has been delivered." No, Your Majesty saw that Madame was in a hurry, so he hurriedly sent the servant to say something, so that Madame could rest assured. ”
Su Liruo's heart was overjoyed, with a full smile, and she said excitedly: "So good!"
Gu Zhu saw her sweep away her previous sad face, and wondered in her heart: Who did Madame invite to the banquet, and she was so happy?
Seeing that the word had arrived, Xiao Fuzi gave a salute and left.
Su Liruo hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Did the post-delivery guard come back with a message?"
Xiao Fuzi scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty only asked the servants to rush over and inform Madame that there was no command!"
Su Liruo waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go!"
The little compound son saluted again and withdrew.
Seeing that she was silent in thought, Gu Zhu was still happy just now, why did she frown again in a blink of an eye? Then he whispered, "Madam, is there something wrong?"
Su Li didn't say anything, shook her head slightly, walked straight to the living room, locked herself in the inner room alone, and didn't open the door until Emperor Chong came over. stared at him fixedly, and after a long while, he asked in a deep voice, "Didn't the guards who delivered the post come back with a word?"
Emperor Chong looked at her thoughtfully, and then smiled: "They have all received the post, and they will come to the banquet in a few days, so naturally they will wait to see you in person, how can they ask others to talk?"
Su Liruo smiled bitterly in her heart: I'm afraid that the post was not handed over to them personally, otherwise, with Feng Xuanyu's keenness, how could he not observe the deep meaning of the invitation? There are also Zijin and the eldest sister, with their wisdom, they should be able to see the intention of the invitation at a glance.
Su Liruo's heart was in turmoil at this time, and she was in no mood to greet Yan Jingnan at all, sighed, turned around and closed the door, leaning on the back of the door and falling into deep thought.
Emperor Chong stood at the door in a daze, almost in disbelief that she had turned him away. After a long moment, he turned around and took heavy steps.
Emperor Chong swept in front of the two of them, lowered his eyes slightly, and left dejectedly. It turned out that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get into her heart and knock on the door of her heart. Even at the expense of the father and son breaking up, it was to no avail, what has she experienced over the years? What was the purpose of her sudden proposal to get married? She would never change her mind and agree to marry him for no reason. Because he knew her, she was not a person who compromised easily, her stubbornness, her arrogance, he had learned it a long time ago.
Su Liruo slowly slipped down the back of the door, crouched and curled up on the ground, although it was already a hot summer day, she still felt a burst of coldness pouring her whole body from her heart.
Su Liruo began to be annoyed that the dangerous move of getting married was really wrong, and the post was not so easy to send to Feng Xuanyu and them.
What's next for her?
Su Liruo bit her lip, and when she raised her head, her gaze was resolute and resolute.
Since the plan of the first step has failed, she can only implement the plan of the second step, because she knows that it is not easy to keep Yan Xingchen in the dark without revealing the news!
When Yan Jingnan started to prepare for the wedding banquet, I am afraid that this matter would not be hidden, she had to come up with a way to deal with Yan Xingchen's anger, and if this fireworks were not done well, it would burn the entire court.
Su Liruo closed her eyes tiredly, and murmured silently in her heart: Feng Xuanyu, why didn't you come to me?
Moon Country.
On this day, Chunde just got into the carriage with Wei Yingpeng and left the princess's mansion. The messenger of the guard who delivered the post from the country knocked on the door of the house, and the person guarding the door heard that the post was from a neighboring country, and he had no idea for a while. Neither can tell the other party that the eldest princess is not in the house, so as not to reveal the whereabouts of the eldest princess. Don't dare to rashly refuse to accept the post, in case you offend your neighbors, I'm afraid that he won't be able to protect his head? When she was in a dilemma, Jiahui rushed over, and the gatekeeper rushed forward to greet the savior, and informed the neighboring country of sending a post to invite the eldest princess to the banquet.
Jiahui is regretting that she came one step late, the eldest sister has already left, for so many years, it is rare for the eldest sister to let go of the past, open her heart, and be willing to accept Wei Yingpeng. This is also the first time she has been away for many years, and she doesn't know when she will return? However, Wei Yingpeng is quite capable, and he can even say that he can move the eldest sister to hike and travel the world with him!
She listened to the narration of the gatekeeper, pulled over the post, and said to the guard messenger who was waiting for a reply: "Okay, the post has been received, this princess will tell the eldest sister, you go back and resume your life!"
Several guard envoys looked at each other and hesitated, but as soon as they thought about it, since she was the princess of the Moon Kingdom, she would naturally hand over the post to the eldest princess. Thinking that they were sisters, the messenger of the guard breathed a sigh of relief, no longer questioned, bowed his hand, and immediately turned away.
Jiahui opened the post, touched a few lines of small poems, and unconsciously read aloud:
Cardamom years have encountered,
Flying fairy out of the sky,
I don't realize that the deceased has been hidden for many years,
There is only one birthday dance.
Su Liruo originally met her mother by chance in her early years, and she played together and became close friends. Later, on Concubine Ling's birthday, when she saw Su Liruo's dancing fairy outside the sky, she realized that she was the daughter of Ni Han, and she couldn't help but sigh that her friend had passed away for many years.
Dechun only told Su Liruo about the past, so Su Liruo incorporated the old things into the invitation, hoping that Dechun would guess the meaning of it, and after deep investigation, he would definitely see through it.
However, Jiahui hurriedly took a look and only felt that the invitation to the post was not interesting, and did not delve into it. Besides, she thought that the eldest sister didn't have any friendship with Yuguo, so how could she go to the banquet? What's more, the eldest sister has gone far away, so it's not a coincidence, it's just that.
She casually tucked the post into her pocket, jumped on horseback, and whipped her whip and galloped.
After a while, Zhao Zimo rushed to the princess's mansion, saying that His Majesty had sent him to see off the eldest princess, but asked if Princess Jiahui was here?
The people in the house pounced on the eight princesses who came to say goodbye, then turned around and left, and recounted it.
Zhao Zimo listened, didn't say a word, and pointed to the direction where Jiahui was walking, chasing and galloping.
Day, Zhao Mansion.
Not long ago, Emperor Hua issued an order for Zhao Yue to recognize Zhao Zijin as a righteous daughter so that they could meet in the future.
As soon as he recognized his daughter, Emperor Hua issued a decree to marry Zijin and stay in the harem.
It wasn't until he witnessed his daughter's phoenix crown and glory that Zhao Yue forced himself to believe that all this was true, not an illusion.
Zhao Yue was playing out, but he saw that the servants in the palace were entangled with a few guard messengers, he ordered the servants and asked the reason.
It turned out to be the wedding of Emperor Yuguo, and he sent someone to send a post to invite Zijin to the banquet, and the servants of the Zhao Mansion did not dare to inform outsiders at will that the young lady had gone to Rouran and kissed. just drove them away, saying that there was no such person in the house, and reprimanded them to leave quickly.
Those guard envoys were willing to give up, and insisted on sending the post to Zhao Zijin.
After Zhao Yue asked clearly, he took the post and promised to hand over the invitation to Zijin himself.
After sending off the guard messenger who sent the post, Zhao Yue did not go out, but returned to the house. He wondered in his heart, opened the post suspiciously, and looked at a small poem:
Kunlun Divine Flute winds around the sound,
A song and a score of phoenix flute,
The suburbs are green all over the people's face,
When the painting pavilion is high-rise, it is deep.
Zhao Yue quickly figured out the meaning of the poem, which describes the realm of learning the sound of the flute together.
He frowned, puzzled, how could Zijin know the people of the Yuguo royal family?
He couldn't guess for a long time why the emperor of Yuguo was happy to get married, why did he invite Zijin? Could it be that when this child was stubborn before, he caused trouble, which made people hold grudges, so he resorted to tricks? In fact, it led her into a trap.
Zhao Yue thought about it, so he put the post away, and when he entered the palace to see his daughter, he gave her the post again, and asked her to think about who she offended during the days when she went out?
This can not only remind her to be cautious in her words and deeds, but also to miss the day of the banquet and avoid disputes.
