Chapter 35: On the Eve of His Birthday
Updated: 2013-04-29
A man who can give up everything for a woman is either too incompetent or too capable, but obviously Huangfu Yuexun does not belong to the above two categories, so after receiving the holy decree of Huangfu Zhuotian, it is normal to leave Li Wanwan, who is pregnant, and turn around and devote herself to official business.
Huangfu Zhuotian's birthday is approaching, the envoys of Yuantang and Qi Liang have arrived one after another, and the reception work naturally falls on Huangfu Yuexun and Huangfu Yueyang, which is undoubtedly a test of their ability.
Huangfu Yuexun is okay, it's not the first time to stand alone, but Huangfu Yueyang, who is without Wan Qisheng's help, is not so easy, and this time Huangfu Zhuotian is warning Su Zhixin openly and secretly in the name of "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", even if she has the ability to do nowhere to help, so this time Huangfu Yueyang can only fight alone, if you are lucky, Wan Qisheng's more proud protégé may be able to help.
The birthday of the emperor of a country, as the capital of Lin'an City, naturally has to make a full façade, and it must not let many other people see the jokes, so as early as a month ago, the small merchants and vendors who set up stalls on the street were driven by the officers and soldiers to a relatively inaccessible place outside the city, and a little bit of the way may be left in a remote corner of the city to make a living, but the business has been more or less affected, and the rhythm of life of the people has been forced to change. Waiting for the outbreak may be enough to change Chi'an.
Like Huangfu Yueyang, who has never cared about the suffering of the people, the prince has no way to understand the sadness of low-level people, and naturally will not have the consciousness to solve this kind of problem, Huangfu Yuexun is different, the palace is located in the people, plus he is also able to do his homework in this area, so in this special period, Huangfu Yuexun made the decision to give porridge and vegetables at the gate of the palace, of course, the amount will not be too much, otherwise like the last time he was suspected of corruption in Chunyifang, his original kindness will be regarded as a black heart, But even this little thing that is insignificant to Huangfu Yuexun is enough for the people to remember his goodness, and the people's gratitude to Huangfu Yuexun can always be heard in the streets and alleys.
Huangfu Yue Xun is naturally happy to see it, but Huang Fu Yue Yang is in a hurry, the same trick will only be spurned by the people, and he still doesn't understand the truth that water can carry a boat and overturn a boat, so he is doomed to fail in the future and blame others.
In the past few days, the Liewang Mansion can be regarded as extremely lively, led by the Murong family, several big families in Lin'an City have come to visit, obviously there is no major disaster in Lin'an, there are a lot of donors and materials, I don't know what's going on, presumably these people are following Murong Lunshu to hug Huangfu Yuexun's thigh, Huangfu Yuexun is mixed for this situation, and the support of more people is naturally excellent, but this is nothing more than attracting the attention of people with a heart.
Wan Qisheng's accident has not been found out now, he is still playing at home like a child, and since he became like that, the Prime Minister's Mansion that was originally full of people is now only left with a lot of doors, even Su Zhiqiao and Wan Qijing's mother and daughter rarely go out, the icing on the cake is not expensive enough, and it is true to send charcoal in the snow, but the pity is that there has never been such a person in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even Huangfu Yueyang thinks that Wan Qisheng has lost his face.
Wan Qiliang has not taken a break at all these days, in order to appear family harmony in front of others, as long as someone comes to visit, Wan Qiliang has to accompany Huangfu Yuexun to go out to welcome guests, making him look like a bustard in a brothel, and he almost didn't wear a disgusting makeup.
"Princess, please come over." The person who came this time was not Wang Hai, and probably Huangfu Yuexun would not send him to Wan Qiliang anymore.
"I see." Wan Qiliang replied lazily, the weather is gradually getting cooler, at this time she is the most reluctant to go out, and she can't wait to stay in the bed all day and not come out, but Huangfu Yuexun is always crushing her dreams, but fortunately, every time she accompanies her, there is a certain reward.
"What did you call me for?" Wan Qiliang wrapped his cloak and walked to Huangfu Yuexun's study, and asked angrily when he opened the door.
Huangfu Yuexun was originally a little annoyed, but after seeing Wan Qiliang's dress, his anger turned into **naked disgust, "Why did you come out dressed like this?" ”
Wan Qiliang didn't bother to look at himself, "Not satisfied? Then I'm gone. ”
"Wait, hurry up and change your clothes and go out with this king." Huangfu Yuexun's gesture is no different from that of the person who asks for food, after tossing and turning in the past few days, their mode of getting along has become a state that others cannot understand, but such a change does not have any special meaning, at least not on Wan Qiliang's side.
"Why are you going?" Wan Qiliang found a place and sat down, tightening the clothes on her body, she is now dressed in two layers that are almost normal people, but she still feels cold, her physique is really sad.
"The envoys of the Yuan and Tang dynasties have arrived, and the king is responsible for receiving them."
"Then why did you ask me to come along?"
"You are the princess of this king, who else can go if you don't go." Every time he attended an occasion with her, he had to discuss it with her for a long time before, and in the end it was always established under a certain clear price, but it seems that it should be more expensive today, sure enough.
"I can go, double the price before."
"Deal." Huangfu Yuexun has been trained to the point that he has no hesitation at all.
Wan Qiliang had no choice but to get into the carriage with Huangfu Yuexun, and in the car, Wan Qiliang remembered to do his homework, "Who is from the Yuan and Tang Dynasties?" ”
"This time it's the emperor of the Yuan and Tang Dynasties, Helian Yunqian, and his biological sister, Helian Yunduo." Huangfu Yuexun didn't expect that Helian Yunqian would come over in person this time, so they had to be cautious, because once something happened, it would really become a dispute between the two countries.
Helian Yunqian? In Wan Qiliang's cognition, it can only be regarded as a name now, and she thought that she would live in that peaceful town for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that in the end she couldn't escape the fate brought by this identity, so she found more and more that she knew too little about it, and it was too painful to want to help but have nothing to do.
"Then who is Qi Liang over there?"
"King Li-Yutai Li, although he is only a prince, his status in Qiliang is far higher than that of their emperor."
"It seems that your father's birthday banquet has really attracted a lot of attention this time, and the people sent by Yuan Tang and Qi Liang are not small."
"It's because of this that things are tricky, every time the emperors of various countries come to their birthday banquets, it is the courtiers of other countries who are highly used, and it is the first time for figures of the level of Helian Yunqian and Yu Taili to appear on such an occasion." Huangfu Yuexun's words revealed worry, in connection with the recent events, he always felt that this birthday banquet would not be so peaceful, maybe it was the Prime Minister's Mansion that left too deep an impression on him, it was inevitable that there would be some cups and snakes, but it was better to be cautious.
Wan Qiliang is also contemplative, Qin Jiatian has not come to her in the past few days, in addition to missing, there are more elements of worry, she does not doubt his ability, but whether something will happen that makes people unguardable is not necessarily, and so far the people in the criminal department have not found out anything at all, and the calm on the surface is just covering up the actual dark tide, how can she feel at ease?
"Has your dad had anything unusual lately?" Wan Qiliang had never been sure of Huangfu Zhuotian's attitude, but she knew that he wanted to sit in that position as long as possible, so he even doubted whether the massacre of the Prime Minister's Mansion was his mastermind, after all, such a well-trained killer could not be cultivated by ordinary forces, and if he had a dead soldier in his hand, it must be similar to that.
"Father?" Huangfu Yuexun didn't know why Wan Qiliang would mention Huangfu Zhuotian, and his voice couldn't help but raise an octave.
"He put you and Huangfu Yueyang on the cusp of the storm, and you never thought about what his purpose was?" With Wan Qisheng as a father, Wan Qiliang would not be naïve to think that his parents' love for their children was selfless, and driven by huge interests, Huangfu Zhuotian would definitely not like someone to covet his position.
Huangfu Yuexun really didn't think about it, although his father didn't show affection for any of his sons, but he shouldn't deliberately harm them, after all, they are all his biological sons, and they will be more or less blood-related there, but the more he thinks about it, the more frightened Huangfu Yuexun feels, he actually has no confidence, and when Wan Qiliang said this, it is inevitable not to think about the worst, if so, don't blame him for being unjust.
"Are you saying that my father deliberately wanted me to start a fight with Huangfu Yueyang, and in the end we lost both?"
"I'm too lazy to analyze so much, the answer should have gradually surfaced in your heart, and I'm not interested in provoking your father-son relationship, anyway, the truth will be revealed in the end." Wan Qiliang said it indifferently, but it did arouse the suspicion and vigilance of Huangfu Yuexun, which she wanted to see but didn't want to see.
"You've left yourself clean." Huangfu Yuexun sneered, if it weren't for the suspicion first, even if Wan Qiliang really provoked, he couldn't shake the so-called father-son friendship, but it was clear that he himself knew that he didn't believe in Huangfu Zhuotian at all, when he was a child, he was so eager for mother's love and father's love, but now it has become unimportant, and the little regret in his heart has long been gradually worn away in the process of growing up, although it still hurts when he thinks about it, but what can he do?
Wan Qiliang smiled helplessly, he was not stupid, he heard it quite clearly, but he always didn't seem so shrewd when he started things, and he didn't seem to be a good material to be an emperor, he was really inferior to Huangfu Zhuotian, and Huangfu Zhuotian was in the age of not being confused, and it was almost impossible for him to retire automatically, so whether it was Huangfu Yuexun or Huangfu Yueyang, the waiting time would not be too short, unless they thoroughly fought for their own interests.
