Yue Bai's eyebrows moved slightly, and Duan Shuqing smiled: "Xuan." ”

The door of the palace was wide open, and Yue Tang entered steadily. When she walked to Yue Bai's side to bow to Duan Shuqing, Yue Bai found that she was not wearing court clothes or palace clothes, but wearing a set of water-red clothes, which were fresh and lovely, not at all like the heroic posture on weekdays, but a little bit of a daughter's shyness. When she got up after saluting, Yue Bai found that she seemed to be wearing makeup carefully.

Yue Bai was a little unsure, but Duan Shuqing smiled first: "Which one is this singing, are you finally willing to wear this set of clothes?" ”

Yue Tang smiled warmly: "The Yunfu gilt dress rewarded by the emperor has not been worn once, is it a minister's." Today, thanks to the call of the saint, and it coincides with the opening of Jinlan wine, so I put on this set of clothes and want to drink with the emperor. ”

Gin Ran.

It was still a game between Yue Tang and Duan Shuqing in the palace garden three years ago. They drank a few more cups in the garden to become Jinlan sisters, specially took a jar of wine, pasted the word "Jinlan" and buried it in the ground, and agreed to open the seal and drink together after three years, celebrating the deep friendship of sisterhood.

In fact, Duan Shuqing couldn't remember exactly which one it was, but it was indeed the time of late spring and early summer, and she would reward Yue Tang with such a set of dresses, which were made according to her favorite dress style at that time.

The past is all in front of me, and at that time, the truth and falsehood were mostly sisterhood, but Duan Shuqing remembered that Yue Tang rushed back to Beijing to support his ascendancy.

She watched Yue Tang order someone to move the Jinlan wine into the hall, watched the wine jar unsealed, smelled the aroma of the wine, and was a little stunned for a while.

Although she knew in her heart that this was Yue Tang's strategy to delay the army, she just wanted to remind her of some past friendships, and not to be tense as soon as she entered the palace-but she was still soft-hearted at this time.

She had no friends and no relatives.

She always thought so.

And the man and woman in front of her seem to be her friends and relatives, who have supported her most difficult years together.

Yue Tang had already poured the wine himself and walked to Duan Shuqing's side, and respectfully handed it over with both hands. Duan Shuqing took the wine and tasted it, and praised: "It's really a good wine, it's not in vain to hide it once." ”

Yue Tang smiled: "Where is there anything bad about the emperor's treasured wine?" It's been a day since I've been hungry for this wine. "Let's raise a glass to Duan Shuqing," I wish that Daxia will be peaceful and peaceful, and the emperor will be blessed and healthy. ”

Yue Tang drank it all.

Duan Shuqing smiled, although he knew that Yue Tang was gagging his mouth, he also raised his head and drank it all. asked Yue Tang to pour a cup for Yue Bai, let the two of them sit on both sides of him, gossip a few words about the past, and the solemn atmosphere was relaxed.

It's just that after the gossip, you will eventually get back to business, and it is inevitable.

Duan Shuqing put down his wine glass and looked at Yue Tang, and said directly: "I have already discussed with your brother, Beiting has always harassed my Great Xia border recently, it seems that Yihe has not been able to appease and suppress their guilty hearts, in the final analysis, it is just because they won the so-called justification of the former Prince Xi', and gave birth to a covetous heart that should have been completely cut off as early as nineteen years ago." She kept smiling slightly at Yue Tang, whose expression had not changed, "If Beiting loses this 'justifiable', naturally he will not dare to attack at will, are you, General Guiying?" ”

Yue Tang got up and lowered his head, courteous and thoughtful, and his face remained unchanged: "If you go back to the emperor, it is true." ”

Duan Shuqing and Yue Bai were both a little surprised that she would answer like this, and after waiting for her for a while, they didn't see anything from her, they just stood respectfully.

Duan Shuqing had no choice but to continue: "At present, in order to avoid the regeneration of chaos on the border, we must get rid of this 'justifiable' in order to reassure the hearts of the two countries." She looked at Yue Tang's eyes and obviously expected Yue Tang to agree or obey orders, but Yue Tang still didn't have any reaction, she had to order, "General Guiying, I am determined to get rid of the former Xi Prince Xi Jinghui, this task is entrusted to you and General Yue Bai, and it must be completed as soon as possible." ”

Yue Tang walked out, lined up opposite Duan Shuqing, knelt down in his robe, and bowed: "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

Yue Bai also walked out of the same kneeling salute together, although he was surprised by his sister's behavior, but he also said the same thing.

Duan Shuqing was a little confused, and felt uneasy, his vigilance and suspicion increased sharply, but because he had never mentioned her relationship with Xi Jinghui to Yue Tang, he couldn't ask anything immediately, and was thinking about how to quit the temptation, so he heard Yue Tang ask: "The marriage contract given by the emperor for the minister is at the end of next month, if the minister goes to deal with the former Prince Xi first, I am afraid that the marriage period will be delayed, I don't know how the minister should stop?" ”

Duan Shuqing knew that at present, he still needed to rely on the Ke family to consolidate the Chinese officials of the dynasty for himself, and many local officials had an inextricable teacher-student relationship with the Ke family, and at the moment they not only could not move, but also had to hold on. Yue Rong is useless, and Yue Song is also dead, but the two in front of him can't be offended for a while - Yue Ke's marriage is both to appease and to hold each other hostage.

The Yue family and the Ke family are not in harmony, and even if they are temporarily united, they can easily fall apart, which is the most satisfying point for Duan Shuqing. But she thought that Yue Tang would resist this marriage, but she didn't expect that from the time the marriage was given to now, she hadn't even given a disdainful expression. Duan Shuqing has been on guard that Yue Tang will have any tricks to refuse marriage, but Yue Tang has either moved from Liuxinfang to Gentle Pavilion all day long, or transferred from the Victory Gambling House to Wenxiang Tavern, without any preparations for refusing to marry, it seems that he is drunk and dreaming of death, and nothing else.

And now, Yue Tang has mentioned this marriage.

Does she want to use the matter of disposing of the former Prince Xi to postpone or break off this marriage? Is this a quid pro quo?

Duan Shuqing casually dusted off his sleeves and said, "Then in your opinion, is it better to delay the marriage, or simply invalidate?" ”

Yue Tang's voice was still calm: "Minister, everything is arranged by the emperor." "Go to the ground and knock on the ground, and the rules will be in order.

Duan Shuqing's doubts were even more serious, almost a little uneasy, but she had to say: "In this case, General Yue Bai will take the lead in handling it first, and then we will deal with it together after your wedding, and within one month, be sure to send Xi Jinghui's head to my case." Her voice was a little dark, "Otherwise, military justice will be punished." ”

Yue Tang and Yue Bai bowed together and said, "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

Duan Shuqing shouted, and said with a gentle smile: "Get up, it's all this hour, let's stay in the palace to eat." ”
