Chapter 57. journey

When the royal travels, the team is naturally mighty.

Yue Luanyi and I were in the same carriage.

Yue Luanyi, as the emperor's favorite daughter, naturally followed the emperor's carriage closely. I don't know if I still remember yesterday's events, Yue Luanyi was a little sullen.

I lifted the curtain of the car, and I was startled: there was a man walking next to the car, dressed in a dark armor, and the armor was in the shape of a bird's wings.

When the man saw me lift the curtain, the fox glanced at me ambiguously, and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "Beauty, how many days have you missed my brother?" ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I said mockingly: "I didn't expect Commander Xiao to personally protect you, your official promotion is very unworthy!" ”

Yes, the person outside the car is Xiao Jifeng. After Ling Niankong was promoted to general, the position of commander of the Xuanyi Army was taken over by Xiao Jifeng, the original deputy commander.

When Xiao Jifeng heard this, he pretended to be resentful. "Who's to say it isn't!? But it's you who protects the beauty, and Xiao is also willing. He smiled wickedly.

Seeing him like this, I got goosebumps and quickly lowered the curtain.

On this trip, the emperor not only dispatched a hundred elite troops, but also ordered the Xuanyi Army and Yu Linwei to accompany him, and they all obeyed Ling Niankong's orders.

The Xuanyi Army walked with the car, Yulin Wei was hidden in the shadows, and the hundred elites were divided into two groups, which were at the head and end of the team. I don't know if that person is at the head of the team or at the bottom of the team......

"Xuan'er."

Yue Luanyi's call pulled my thoughts back.

"Huh?"

"I heard that Shen Fengyue came to look for you yesterday?" Yue Luanyi looked into my eyes.

"Yes...... Oh, yes. ”

It was a little unnatural for me to hear the name of the person who was inexplicably familiar to me. "The princess knows about him?"

"Of course, Shen Gongzi in red is a legend! However, the women who were targeted by him did not end well, Xuan'er, you had better stay away from him. Yue Luanyi's expression was as serious as he had ever been.

I don't understand. "Why?"

"Because of those rumors!"

"Rumors? What rumors? ”

Hearing me ask, Yue Luanyi's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous. "You don't know? Don't you even go to the teahouse to listen to books?! ”

I laughed dryly. "I don't really go much. But what the storyteller said, it shouldn't be very credible, right? ”

"But those rumors must not be groundless! And he is an envoy to the north, and even his father said that he was ...... Oops, you have to be careful anyway! Yue Luanyi looked at me worriedly.

"That'...... What kind of rumors are there about him? All I know is that he is an envoy of the North Departure. ”

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, anyway, the journey is long, and it can be heard to relieve boredom.

"The current emperor of Beili is an absurd emperor who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and the person that such an emperor values must also be extremely absurd, and Shen Fengyue is the best example."

"Then why is Shen Fengyue ridiculous?" I was curious.

"Shen Fengyue is the only one who is highly used among the ministers of the Emperor Beili, and he is a good official, and he thinks he also has some talents. But that Shen Fengyue didn't feel that he was Yan Chexiao's minister, and he didn't leave Kyoto in the north for half of the year, but traveled around. However, Yan Chexiao didn't care about government affairs, so he let it go, and if he really encountered a tricky matter, he would send an urgent letter to Shen Fengyue and ask him to give an idea. ”

"Heh, this gentleman and a minister, it's really a natural pair!" I sarcastically said.

When Yue Luanyi heard me say this, her eyes immediately widened, a little excited, and she said approvingly: "You think so too, right?!" That's what the people think. Everyone speculated that Shen Fengyue was so reused by Yan Chexiao, not because Yan Chexiao appreciated his talent, but because he ......" Luan Yi lowered his voice and said in my ear: "But I fell in love with Shen Fengyue's beauty." Moreover, Yan Chexiao has been on the throne for ten years, and the harem is still empty, how can there be such an emperor from ancient times to the present? ! Therefore, some people say that Emperor Beili is as good as Longyang, and he doesn't like women, he only likes a man like Shen Fengyue who is not inferior to a woman, so he doesn't accept a concubine! ”

Yue Luanyi's words directly woke up my gossip factor, and I couldn't wait to hear her continue. "What about Shen Fengyue? Shen Fengyue shouldn't be a broken sleeve, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have let me be careful of him, would you? ”

"He's not a broken sleeve, of course." Yue Luanyi left my ear and continued: "People know that Shen Fengyue is not because of Yan Chexiao, but because of a ......vow made by Shen Fengyue" Yue Luanyi's face gradually flushed, and he lowered his voice and said: "When Shen Fengyue was sixteen years old, he vowed to read all the women in the world. ”

"So he's traveling to ......," I was a little surprised.

Sixteen years old! Sixteen years old! What were the boys of my plane doing when they were sixteen? …… At the age of sixteen, he should be in high school, fighting against the sea of questions.

However, even in ancient times, most sixteen-year-old boys should have ambitions in their hearts, how could anyone have such ambitions?!

"Yes, he traveled abroad to see the beauty of women in the world. So far, there have been hundreds of women who have had an affair with him, if not thousands. But he never really chose a woman, and she would never see her again after a cloud* rain. And among those women, there are many daughters from wealthy families. ”

I'm a little stunned, if you follow those rumors, to use the word "playboy" to describe him is simply an insult to the word, he is simply the male version of Shen Yan.

However, when I recalled the few meetings I had with him, I was a little hesitant. Although he is a little bohemian, there is still no lack of righteousness in his eyes.

I looked at Yue Luanyi. Speaking of such rumors, she only blushed slightly, and her expression was not too unnatural.

Come to think of it, the age at which ancient women talked about marriage was already young. What's more, she still grew up in the palace and witnessed the emperor's three wives and four concubines, and she should also know about the love between men and women.

"Then if he is so innocent, will no one rectify him?" I continued to ask questions.

"Shen Fengyue is a person, he is strange at this point. Those women who have had an affair with him, whether they are Qinglou Jizi or noble daughters, are all willing to let them pick, and none of them will be entangled afterwards, but with an infatuated heart. ”

"How could this be!?" I was amazed.

Not to mention that it was in ancient times when the ideology was conservative, even if a modern woman and a person were on C, it was difficult to say that the page would be turned over. So what is so special about Shen Fengyue? Is it just because of his good-looking skin?

No wonder Ling Niankong was so angry when he saw me and Shen Fengyue getting along like that yesterday.

I couldn't help but sneer in my heart: Ling Niankong, Ling Niankong, I thought you weren't afraid of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect that a Shen Fengyue would make you panic.

"Isn't it?! So many people say that Shen Fengyue will charm people's hearts. ”

"Demon law?" I couldn't help but laugh. It seems that this rumor in the market is not credible, but what comes to mind after that. "But didn't people say that Emperor Beili fell in love with Shen Fengyue? Can he let Shen Fengyue be so careless? Won't he be jealous? ”

"Yan Chexiao really values Shen Fengyue, and he attaches great importance to it. But he knew that Shen Fengyue was not a broken sleeve, so Xu Shen Fengyue spent half of the year looking for joy outside to satisfy his desire as a man. And Shen Fengyue in return, the remaining half a year stayed by the side of the emperor in the north, before and after the saddle. ”

At somebody's service? I'm afraid it's behind the table!? It's also difficult for Shen Fengyue to meet such a wonderful king.

I don't know what kind of person Yan Chexiao is, whether he knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. Thinking about the thin Shen Fengyue forced by the emperor's might, I can't help but sigh when she looks low and pleasing to the mercy of others.

Maybe that's why he made such an oath in anger, right? But if you think about it carefully, then Yan Chexiao is like true love for Shen Fengyue, otherwise how could he be so considerate of him and allow him to travel around?

The love entanglement of the royal family is really complicated.

But I quickly shook my head secretly, those are all rumors, and I am afraid that only those two parties will know what is going on.

"So, Xuan'er, it's better for you to stay away from him, and your soul was also hooked by him on the day of the province!" Yue Luanyi's face changed to a serious expression again.

I was amused in my heart and didn't think so, but I didn't forget to cooperate with her, pretending to be serious: "Don't worry! I must be far away from him. ”

In the next few days, except for the night when I would stop and set up camp, most of the rest of the time was spent on the march.

During this time, Yue Luanyi told me a lot of things about Nanli. Only then did I know that it turned out that Nanli Emperor Yue Xiongqi was not a simple businessman.

The Yue family was once the most famous family in Fengli Country, and there were many prime ministers on their ancestors, including Yue Xiongqi's great-grandfather Yue Hao. However, the prestige of the Yue family also stopped at this great-grandfather.

It is said that Yue Hao was born with a weak temperament, and he had no intention of fighting for power and profit, and the position of prime minister was inherited from his father, although it was useless, but there was no fault.

After seeing all the ups and downs of officialdom, he took the initiative to ask the emperor at that time to resign. The emperor repeatedly kept him, but his attitude was very resolute. Seeing this, the emperor couldn't hold back a little on his face, and only said leisurely: "Since Aiqing's ambition is not in the temple, then I will let your descendants of the Yue family return to the countryside." ”

This seemingly fluttering sentence cut off the career of the descendants of the Yue family.

Yue Hao, who had taken off his official position, returned to his hometown of Danzhou in the south with his family. Although the Yue family has produced many high-ranking officials, its foundation has always been in Danzhou.

Sandalwood is abundant in Danzhou, and the Yue family who stayed in their hometown mainly relied on the spice business to make a living.

After Yue Hao returned to his hometown, he read the scriptures and stroked the qin all day long, and handed over all the affairs of the Yue family to his eldest son. This eldest son is already familiar with incense, and it is said that the sandalwood spices he prepared are extremely special, and they are unique in Danzhou and even in Fengli. As a result, the Yue family's business continued to expand, gradually spreading in various fields, and by the time Yue Xiongqi's generation had become a wealthy man who dominated one side.

However, in a few generations, the Yue family has changed from the original official family to a wealthy merchant. However, what is commendable is that the Yue family has not lost the scholarly elegance cultivated by the century-old wang clan because of this change. On the contrary, the bigger the Yue family's business, the more outstanding their children and grandchildren will be in poetry. Therefore, there are many people who sigh that if the descendants of the Yue family can enter the court as officials again, they will definitely reorganize the glory of the family......
