491 scheming
Wei Yongxin only stopped in front of the door curtain for two breaths, and then continued to walk out.
When he walked out of the house, he happened to staggered with Peng Renzheng, the eunuch of the Metropolitan Governor's Seal.
"Father-in-law Peng." Wei Yongxin stopped the other party casually.
Peng Renzheng saw that it was Wei Yongxin, with a friendly smile on his wrinkled face, and arched his hand, "Lord Wei." β
Wei Yongxin is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and of course he has some contacts with the chamberlains of the twelve eunuchs of the inner court.
Wei Yongxin glanced in the direction of the Dongnuan Pavilion, lowered his voice and asked, "Gonggong Peng, have you come to ask the emperor when he will return to Beijing?" β.. <
Peng Renzheng nodded in response, and every time he thought of it, he had a headache. It was supposed to leave a long time ago, but the emperor dragged it out again and again, and this carelessness was in February.
Wei Yongxin smiled, "Then I won't delay my father-in-law." β
As he spoke, he continued to walk in the direction of the courtyard, the corners of his mouth hooked a mocking arc, and said in his heart: The emperor is afraid that he doesn't want to return to Beijing recently, and the matter in Jiangnan has not been resolved for a long time, with the emperor's suspicion, how dare he return to Beijing at this time? !
The drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River in February was cold, cold and damp, but Wei Yongxin didn't care and walked in the hazy drizzle with his head held high.
Indeed, as Wei Yongxin expected, the emperor rejected the request to return to Beijing.
Since Cen Yin came to Gusu City, the emperor's life has been much more comfortable.
Cen Yin transferred 1,000 Chinese troops from the five army camps he was driving to assist General Shi in chasing down the remnants of the Bailan Army, and ordered several major towns in Jiangzhou and Jizhou to strengthen the guards and guards in and out of the city, strictly check the routes of those outsiders entering and leaving the city, and ordered the local government to regularly send government officials to patrol the academies and downtown areas in the city.
With Cen Yin taking care of these troubles outside, the emperor can finally recuperate from his illness regardless of everything.
These local officials in Gusu are not stupid people, from the emperor's attitude, they immediately saw that the emperor valued Cen Yin, that is, he didn't come to the emperor directly for anything, he first went to Cen Yin to observe his words and feelings, test his tone, and then cautiously proceed to the next step.
For more than a month, the city of Gusu has been calm and undisturbed, and nothing has happened.
However, the emperor still stayed in the city of Gusu and did not leave, neither continued to go south to Jizhou according to the original itinerary, nor did he embark on the return journey back to Beijing.
The date of return to Beijing continued to be put on hold endlessly, and later, both the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Peng Renzheng turned a blind eye and did not dare to ask the emperor when he would return to Beijing.
These days, the emperor has been recuperating in the sea forest to recuperate the dragon body, perhaps because of the recurrence of the illness and lingering sickbed, his temperament has become more moody.
On this day, the second prince and the third prince had a fight over a small matter, and they were both scolded by the emperor to the point of blood.
"You two are so adults, and you are still quarreling over such trivial things, and you are not afraid of making people laugh!"
"The brothers were supposed to be brothers, friends, brothers, brothers
"Now it's still under my nose, you are arguing like this, if you carry me behind your back, are you going to kill each other?!"
ββ¦β¦β
The emperor did not give the two brothers a chance to argue at all, and reprimanded them fiercely, and then sent them away.
When the two brothers came out of Hanhui Hall, their faces were sinking like water, and of course their hearts were not very happy.
It's all the three emperor brothers (two emperor brothers) who hurt themselves!
When the brothers looked at each other, they both saw the same dislike in each other's eyes, and their eyes were as deep as an abyss.
Originally, before arriving in Gusu, the second prince Mu Youchang was annoyed by the emperor because of the drama and Wang Tingwei's affairs, and the third prince Mu Youjing won for a while, but he was not proud for a few days, and the emperor was dissatisfied because of the affairs of those students. Externally, although the emperor protected Mu Youjing and did not push him out, the emperor has been very cold to him recently, and his affection is not as good as before.
The brothers were hoping to take the opportunity of this southern tour to please the emperor, who wanted, but it turned out to be the opposite, during this time, both of them were very anxious and wanted to behave in front of the emperor, however, the more anxious they were, the more self-defeating.
With the third emperor brother (second emperor brother), it is absolutely impossible to fight yourself!
The brothers looked at each other coldly again, flicked their sleeves and left, leaving in two directions, one east and one west, neither bothering to look back at the other.
The two little chamberlains guarding the gate of Hanhui Hall naturally saw the rivalry between the two princes in their eyes, and silently exchanged a look, standing in place like two stone sculptures.
Mu Youchang went all the way to the northwest of Canghai Forest, and came to Mingse Pavilion.
When the palace maid saw the second prince coming, she hurriedly greeted her and led the person to the eastern room.
Chu Qingyu, who was wearing a willow-colored dark pattern jacket, was sitting on a beauty couch by the window, holding an embroidered bandage in his hand, embroidering flowers slowly.
"Yu'er, this room is dark, you hurt your eyes carefully." Mu Youchang sat down on the edge of the couch and pushed open the window next to her for her.
February had just started spring, and while the sun was shining in, a chilly breeze was blowing in, and the house was suddenly much brighter.
Mu Youchang sat down next to Chu Qingyu in his robe, his robe clinging to her dress.
Mu Youchang looked at her with a gentle expression, and said, "Yu'er, in fact, the female red or something, you just hand it over to the next person." "He seems affectionate and thoughtful.
While speaking, Chu Qingyu's maid Forsythia lowered her eyebrows and served tea to Mu Youchang.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your care. I'm just just doing two stitches casually. Chu Qingyu put down the female red in his hand with kindness.
She has been under house arrest in this Ming Se Pavilion for more than two months, and she has nothing to do every day, and she can only read books and embroidery to pass the time.
Chu Qingyu's face was also smiling gently, and he looked at Mu Youchang with affection, but he sneered in his heart: since she had a miscarriage, Mu Youchang had never asked her a word, and the number of times he stepped into the Ming Se Pavilion in the past two months was even more rare.
That is, today......
Chu Qingyu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he asked, "Your Highness, have you seen Father-in-law Wen?" β
Mu Youchang answered while holding the teacup.
Originally, when Chu Qingyu suggested that he could cooperate with Wen Yongju, Mu Youchang also thought about it for a long time, Wen Yongju was not the palm print eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch before.
However, there was one sentence in Chu Qing's words that moved him-
"Your Highness, it's impossible for you to let Cen Yin be on your side."
This sentence was like waking up a person in a dream, which made Mu Youchang think deeply for a long time, and repeatedly recalled Cen Yin's attitude towards him...... He finally faced the reality, as Chu Qingyu said, it was too difficult to convince Cen Yin to be used by him.
Since he couldn't get Cen Yin's help, he simply took a step back and used his own strength to cultivate a person who was enough to replace Cen Yin's position in front of his father.
When he thought about it from this perspective, he found that Wen Yongju was indeed a good candidate.
This morning, Mu Youchang had just met Wen Yongju in private.
Wen Yongju was the former eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and he was also the successor of the Xichang Supervisor at that time, he must have the ability, connections, and means.
But......
Mu Youchang frowned slightly hesitantly, and sighed worriedly: "Wen Yongju is still weaker than Cen Yin. β
Chu Qingyu seemed to know that he would say this, his expression remained unchanged at all, and he secretly sneered in his heart: Just Wen Yongju still wants to compare with Cen Yin?! This is simply a heaven and an earth, and there is no comparison at all.
"Your Highness, things are endlessly perfect," she said unhurriedly, "Cen Yin is powerful and powerful, and the power leans towards the government and the opposition, even the first assistant Duanmu Xian must avoid his edge, Your Highness, you can't control Cen Yin, but Wen Yongju is different......"
"Think about it, Wen Yongju is now falling to the point of decline, if he wants to rise again, he has to rely on Your Highness, then he is bound to be loyal to Your Highness. It's a little weaker now, isn't there still your Highness to help?! Wen Yongju's return to the position of the eunuch of the imperial horse seal is also just around the corner. β
Mu Youchang's eyebrows moved, but he still didn't speak, lowered his eyes and drank tea, taking one sip after another, as if he was absent-minded.
It's really indecisive. Chu Qingyu now saw that Mu Youchang was not pleasing to the eye, and continued to persuade quietly: "Your Highness, if you think about it, in fact, the marriage of the third emperor sister is the best verification. With someone like Wen Yongju by his father's side, it is still very convenient for Your Highness to act. β
This time, Mu Youchang finally reacted, suddenly raised his head from the tea soup, and looked at Chu Qingyu eagerly, his eyes were bright, and he looked like he had been enlightened.
"Yu'er, that's what you're talking about."
Mu Youchang put down the teacup, grabbed Chu Qingyu's left hand instead, and held her slender and boneless hand in his palm.
He was so excited that he didn't notice Chu Qingyu's body stiffening at all, and soon she smiled again, gentle and picturesque.
"Thanks to Yu'er, you mentioned this palace by your side, otherwise this palace is in the game, and it is inevitable that you will be blinded."
Mu Youchang looked at Chu Qingyu tenderly, and sighed in his heart: Yes, Wen Yongju is weaker than Cen Yin, the key is that Wen Yongju is waiting by his father's side, knowing his father's whereabouts, and his father's joys and angers...... At critical moments, I will also need someone to say a good word for myself in front of my father, these are more important than anything else!
Outside the window, the spring breeze is blowing, the branches and leaves of the spring flowers are swaying in the wind, and the tender yellow buds have emerged on the branches, announcing the arrival of spring.
Mu Youchang smiled, only to feel that the depression that had been reprimanded by the emperor in Hanhui Hall before had also been swept away.
Chu Qingyu was also laughing, the corners of his lips were crooked, and the smile spread all the way to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, but he was just ...... Not as much as the fundus of the eye.
There was indifference, ridicule, and even disgust in the depths of her eyes.
She couldn't wait to push away Mu Youchang, a disgusting man, but she had to temporarily apologize.
Chu Qingyu pretended to be shy and lowered her eyes slightly, and the bottom of her eyes became more and more secluded little by little.
She thought about it for a long time, and she really didn't want to force herself to continue living with a person like Mu Youchang who had a habit of breaking sleeves and was rough by nature.
Once, her biggest hope in life was to have a child of Mu Youchang, and she hoped to rely on that child to make her mother and son more expensive and help her to reach the world, however, reality slapped her hard.
She was pregnant with a child, but before she could know she was pregnant, the child was gone.
This may be the arrangement of fate, God is telling her in this cruel way that she has gone wrong.
Mu Youchang is not her good match at all, her good match should be Feng Yan.
Chu Qingyu quietly held her right hand at an angle that Mu Youchang couldn't see, and her nails almost pinched into her palm.
At this moment, her person seemed to have split in half.
Half of her smiled at Mu Youchang, and the corners of her mouth in the other half hooked an indifferent arc.
She wants to seal Yan, but she will no longer be naΓ―ve to beg for Feng Yan's mercy, in this world, interests are far more attractive than so-called feelings.
Soβ
She planned to help Mu Youchang up first, she wanted Feng Yan to see her ability, and she wanted Feng Yan to understand that her existence was enough to threaten him......
When that time comes, Feng Yan will know how important she is......
She and Duanmu Fei, which is more important, Feng Yan will naturally have the answer in his heart.
What could be more touching in this world than power and status?!
She lived a new life just to seal the flames;
She lived a new life, just to honor her life, in order to become the envy of the world, even if there were some twists and turns in the middle, she would not give up.
As the old saying goes, if the heavens descend on the people, they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones......
This is true for Feng Yan, and it is also true for her.
"Yu'er," Mu Youchang gently took Chu Qingyu into his arms, his long arms across her slender waist, "Fortunately, there is still you, the female middle school, Zhuge in this palace." β
His warm breath enveloped her whole body, but Chu Qingyu felt even colder, and she almost used all her strength to keep herself from resisting......
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, like a frightened butterfly, and her head drooped weakly, and her little face was half-hidden.
His chest cast a shadow on her little face, making her cheeks half bright and half dark, and the whole person looked particularly gloomy, like a demon crawling back from hell.
Mu Youchang patted Chu Qingyu's back absentmindedly, not paying attention at all, but Forsythia not far away saw it, and her lips trembled in fright, others may not know, but as Chu Qingyu's personal maid, she clearly knew that her girl had become a demon at some point. New Bayi Chinese Network Launch www.. com m.. com
Forsythia silently lowered his head and said to himself, it's all the girl's bad life, marrying the prince and looking at the infinite scenery, but how can outsiders know that the second prince who seems to be glorious is so dirty in his bones!
Hey, in her opinion, the girl might as well marry the cousin master who has a family!
But where is there a regret medicine in this world, and now, the girl can only go on if she is stubborn......
Forsythia's head hung lower, and at this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside, followed by a palace maid in Tsing Yi who came in with a curtain and said, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Second Princess, Third Princess is here." β
Chu Qingyu immediately got up from Mu Youchang's embrace, raised his hand to comb his sideburns, and said with a smile: "Let Shu Yun come in." β
The palace maid went to bring Shu Yun in, and Shu Yun came in a hurry, her beautiful little face was tense, and her whole body exuded an anxious atmosphere.
Shu Yun didn't expect Mu Youchang to be there, and blurted out in surprise: "Second Emperor Brother, you are also there!" β
The corners of Mu Youchang's mouth curled slightly, and he immediately got up, "I'll leave for my brother, and I won't delay you talking to your second sister-in-law." Mu Youchang's tone was a little playful.
Shu Yun stomped his feet and said coquettishly: "Second Emperor Brother, why do you say it as if the little sister drove you away." β
Shu Yun's delicate appearance of a little daughter made Mu Youchang laugh loudly, and the brother and sister seemed to be harmonious.
And Chu Qingyu just sat quietly on the beauty couch beside her, looking at the two brothers and sisters with a gentle smile, her smile was as standard as if measured with a ruler, which was incompatible with the two brothers and sisters.
Chu Qingyu instructed gently: "Forsythia, didn't the small kitchen make some hibiscus cakes in the morning, the third princess likes to eat this, you hurry up and get a plate." β
Forsythia hurriedly took the order and retreated.
Shu Yun hooked his lips and smiled, and showed off to Mu Youchang: "It's still the second emperor's sister-in-law who knows the taste of this palace." β
"Being a brother is not as careful as your second sister-in-law." Mu Youchang smiled disapprerovingly, and then changed his words, "Shu Yun, you can talk to your second sister-in-law, just because your brother has something to do, so you will leave first." β
Mu Youchang elegantly stroked his sleeves, and said two more words to Chu Qingyu, asking her to remember to take a nap in the afternoon and pay attention to the fact that it was easy to catch a cold during this period of time, and then left.
Shu Yun looked at Chu Qingyu, and then at the back of Mu Youchang leaving, and said innocently: "Second Emperor Sister-in-law, this palace really envy you and the Second Emperor Brother, the plaice is deeply in love, and the immortal couple is nothing more than that." β
Shu Yun subconsciously rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, if she and Zeng Yuanjie could have half the second emperor brother and second emperor sister-in-law in the future, she would be satisfied.
Thinking about it, Shu Yun's white cheeks were dyed with a faint flush, like a brocade, pretty and bright.
Shu Yun said it unintentionally, but her words sounded extremely sarcastic to Chu Qingyu.
Chu Qingyu almost didn't pinch the teacup in her hand, her hand trembled slightly, and the tea soup in the teacup also rippled in a few circles, and countless tea leaves rose and fell in the tea soup, just like Chu Qingyu's mood at the moment......
"Shu Yun, aren't you going to Taifu's class today?" The teacup that Chu Qingyu had just picked up was put down again, and his breathing was a little messy.
Now, it was Shu Yun's turn to change his face.
She frowned and complained, "Don't mention it! Bengong was not happy, so he didn't go to Dongming Pavilion to take classes. β
Chu Qingyu beckoned to her and asked her to sit down beside her, and the aunt and sister-in-law looked very intimate.
Since Chu Qingyu helped dissolve the marriage contract between Shu Yun and Cao Qinfeng, the relationship between Shu Yun and Chu Qingyu has gone to the next level, and the sister-in-law is as good as sisters.
No matter what Shu Yun was happy or angry, he would come to Chu Qingyu to share.
"Second Imperial Sister-in-law, do you know that the father chose Li Tingyou as a colt for the fourth imperial sister?" Shu Yun pulled Chu Qingyu's sleeve and asked in a deep voice.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, after returning from Shangqing Lake, the emperor ordered Zeng Yuanjie to be the three horses, Shu Yun was quite proud in his heart, and felt that he had robbed Hanxing's marriage.
During this period of time, every time Shu Yun looked at Han Xing, he had a high taste, feeling that Han Xing was just a poor worm who couldn't even keep his marriage.
It wasn't until a stick of incense that she was on her way to Dongming Pavilion to attend class that she happened to hear Han Xing and Duanmu Fei chatting in front of her, and she learned that Li Tingyou would become the four horses in the future.
"......" Chu Qingyu was so shocked that he didn't speak for a while, his mind was in chaos, and he could barely think.
Li Tingyou and Han Xing were actually married by the emperor!
This is a very different direction from the previous life. In his previous life, Han Xing had died a long time ago, and he died a disgraceful death; In his previous life, Li Tingyou's pioneering military exploits were exposed, and his future was ruined.
These two people actually got together in this life...... That's really what kind of pot with what lid! The corners of Chu Qingyu's mouth were slightly raised, and his expression was pleasant.
Shu Yun's face was not very good-looking, and his face sank like water.
The more she thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became, "Second Emperor Sister-in-law, this Li family in Minzhou is the General Military Mansion, Li Tingyou has an errand and a future, how can it be better than Zeng Yuanjie's move!" β
"Second imperial sister-in-law, do you say that the heart of the father is biased, they are all princesses, why does he want to leave good candidates to the fourth imperial sister!"
Shu Yun's voice became higher and higher.
At this time, Chu Qingyu had calmed down after a short period of surprise.
Regarding Shu Yun's mentality of "looking at a mountain and looking at a mountain high", Chu Qingyu disagreed in his heart, and said secretly in a mocking manner: Mu Youchang and Shu Yun, the two brothers and sisters, really have brothers, and they must have sisters! All of them are very short-sighted.
Chu Qingyu hooked his lips almost invisibly, and then took Shu Yun's hand casually, and said comfortingly: "Shu Yun, the marriage between the fourth emperor sister and Li Tingyou may not be so good. β
Shu Yun looked at Chu Qingyu eagerly, and his hand subconsciously held hers.
Chu Qingyu raised his hand and waved the palace people away, only their aunts and sisters-in-law were left in the room, and the rustling of branches and leaves outside the window made the room more and more peaceful and peaceful.
Chu Qingyu analyzed unhurriedly: "The Li family is now too powerful in Minzhou, and outsiders only think that flowers are brocade, but they don't know that the Li family is already like that blazing fire, and if it is not good, it will be burned!" β
"You should understand your father's temperament, once he decides to attack the Li family, he will not show mercy because of the princess."
"Although Zeng Yuanjie is only a person now, he is known for his talent, and his father has praised him for being a pillar of talent, and in the future, he will wait for him to be named on the gold list and enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, isn't it an enviable story for you and your wife!"
With Chu Qingyu's word by word, Shu Yun seemed to have seen the future scenes, and smiled happily, feeling that every word of the imperial sister-in-law had reached her heart.
Yes, the Li family is just a vulgar martial artist, and at most in this life, they will nest in a barbarian land like Minzhou.
"Second imperial sister-in-law, you still have to see far." Shu Yun finally showed his face and went to hold the teacup with a smile.
A cold edge flashed in Chu Qingyu's pupils, and she said, "Shu Yun, you were angry when you came in just now, but your fourth emperor sister was ......angry again" She seemed to feel that she had lost her words and was embarrassed to silence.
Shu Yun heard Chu Qingyu say this, his heart moved, could it be that Han Xing knew that he was behind, so he deliberately said it to himself, wanting to be angry with himself?!
Chu Qingyu observed the words and expressions, and said: "The Fourth Emperor Sister is really a child's temper......
"She's almost done! Where are the children! Shu Yun frowned and said angrily.
Chu Qingyu's demeanor was calm, and a strange light quickly flashed under his eyes, and he sighed: "It's also that the Fourth Emperor Sister is instigated by a villain. β
Shu Yun pursed his lips disapprenously, "People are divided into groups, and things are gathered by like." According to her, Han Xing and that Duanmu Fei are all the way.
Chu Qingyu patted Shu Yun's hand comfortingly, "Shu Yun, no matter what you and the Fourth Emperor Sister say, you are your own sisters...... There is a saying that if you eat a trench, you will grow wise. Your fourth emperor sister didn't suffer so much, so she would be so willful. β
"You are the imperial sister, you should 'teach' her more."
Chu Qingyu's words and sentences are meaningful.
Shu Yun was silent, and his delicate willow eyebrows twisted slightly.
Of course, she also wanted to teach Duanmu Fei and Hanxing a lesson, so that they could know how powerful they were, but ......
Shu Yun subconsciously clenched her fists, and the scenes of swimming in the lake in Layue flashed quickly in her mind, she just wanted to teach Duanmufei a lesson, but Duanmufei didn't suffer a lesson, but instead caused her to fall into the water, and because of this, the shameless Cao Qinfeng had an opportunity......
"......" Shu Yun pursed his lips, hesitated, hesitated, and didn't dare a little.
Duanmuxian didn't accompany the southern tour this time, Duanmu Fei didn't have anything to rely on in this Gusu City, the problem is that she has those attendants around her, almost inseparable, and now even Cen Yin is here, if something happens, those attendants don't dare to do anything to her princess, and Cen Yin can't control it......
Chu Qingyu seemed to see what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Shu Yun, you are really stupid. You're a princess, what do you have to do, and where you need to come forward. β
