Chapter 154: The Old Man Meets

How smart and wise is Zhou Rui'an? But in an instant, I understood what Xiaofuzi meant.

"You mean, let Concubine Zhenna, if Qingyue sees the news, maybe she won't be able to sit still and show up?" Zhou Ruian asked thoughtfully.

Xiaofuzi nodded, "Your Majesty, do you think, when the mother left, most of them didn't want the emperor to be embarrassed, but now it's different, the emperor has completely controlled the government, and even the ministers can't stop you from establishing the throne!" Therefore, now there is only one opportunity missing, Niangniang has the emperor in her heart, the emperor has not accepted a concubine for so many years, and now she is going to start accepting a concubine, can Niangniang still sit still? ”

Zhou Rui'an's eyes were dark, and he thought carefully for a while, and finally shook his head: "No, you don't know Qingyue, she is not an ordinary woman, she will not show up when she hears the rumors." ”

"Since it is rumored that the mother doesn't believe it, then just take a few back to the palace." Xiaofuzi continued.

Zhou Ruian immediately glared at him, if he dared to marry another woman, Jiang Qingyue would not be able to come back.

Xiao Fuzi continued: "Your Majesty, don't stare at the minions, you think, now the ministers are trying to persuade you to accept a concubine, and you are also annoyed, why not just admit it, but as for whether you are favored or not after entering the palace, it is not necessarily!" In this way, not only did the ministers stop their mouths, but secondly, the ministers saw that you were not interested in other women, and probably knew that you had a deep love for your mother, and when the time came for the mother to come back, they could not continue to object. ”

Xiaofuzi's first and second words were lively, but Zhou Rui'an's expression was faint and noncommittal.

Xiao Fuzi cautiously glanced at his expression, and continued: "And, your majesty, in the future, when Niang Niang sees you facing so many stunning beauties, you are not moved, so don't you have to be even more moved?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Rui'an's diffraction couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help but bow slightly: "Well, there is some truth in this." ”

Xiao Fuzi couldn't help but sigh, in the end, only Jiang Qingyue could make Zhou Rui'an change his mind, even if Jiang Qingyue had been away for two years, her influence on Zhou Rui'an had never diminished.

Zhou Rui'an listened to Xiaofuzi's words, and when he received the ministers' folds, Zhou Rui'an did not refuse, and agreed to start accepting concubines.

So the whole Dajing made a fuss, and they beat the emperor who was a bachelor, and finally Concubine Kenna! The ministers also worked hard and vowed to be Zhou Rui'an's first father-in-law.

The draft was in full swing, and the ministers were frightened, worried about what would happen again, but fortunately, this time the draft went very well, but the result was somewhat unexpected.

Many women carefully selected by the noble minister's family were sent to the palace, but they were not selected, but there was a girl from a five-grade petty official family who stood out and was appointed by Zhou Rui'an to become a nobleman, although the concubine position is not high, but this is Zhou Rui'an's hand-picked!

The ministers are very curious, what is so outstanding about the girl that Zhou Ruian personally selected? As a result, it seems that this girl's appearance is at best delicate and mediocre, and her talent is mediocre, which is 108,000 miles away from the talented and beautiful women they carefully prepared.

Some people think maybe it's because this person looks like Jiang Qingyue? Isn't there such a thing? Because they can't find a certain person, they find a similar person to replace them.

But the ministers looked at it, and finally had to admit that this girl was too much worse than Jiang Qingyue!

Jiang Qingyue and they have all seen it, when she was wearing men's clothes, she was handsome and elegant, and she was proud; When she was a woman, she was even more fresh and refined, noble as an orchid, and this girl was not similar to Jiang Qingyue at all.

The only thing that looks like it is probably the name, this girl's maiden name is Qingyun, according to reliable sources, when the girls were sent to Zhou Rui'an for introduction, when Zhou Rui'an heard her name, he was stunned for a while, and finally said: "Just her." ”

The ministers who learned the truth looked at each other, and it was not that the girl was not chosen well, but that the name was not right? Qingyun and Qingyue are indeed somewhat similar.

But is it really such a simple reason?

Soon, some ministers gave it a try, changed the name of a girl to Qiyue and sent it to Zhou Rui'an, and she was also named a nobleman on the same day.

The ministers suddenly realized, oh, the emperor chooses a woman based on the name.

So a large number of girls with similar names to 'Qingyue' came one after another, and some people may wonder, in this case, are there more girls called 'Qingyue'?

No, because there was a girl who, in order to get Zhou Rui'an's attention, directly said that her name was 'Qingyue', but Zhou Ruian was furious when she heard it, and directly drove people out.

Now everyone knows, that name can be like, but it can't be, Jiang Qingyue will always be the only existence in Zhou Rui'an's heart, that is, he will call the same name, and he feels that he has collided with her.

Seeing Zhou Rui'an like this, the ministers also had mixed feelings in their hearts, but they didn't expect Zhou Rui'an to be so infatuated with Jiang Qingyue.

But fortunately, Zhou Rui was willing to marry a wife, and the ministers were also relieved, they felt that as long as someone could give birth to an heir, they could be regarded as hopeful.

But soon, the ministers found out that they were happy too early, because according to reliable sources, Zhou Rui'an accepted a concubine, but he was not fortunate enough to have a concubine, and all the girls were placed in the harem and served well, but no one could see Zhou Rui'an.

The ministers are dumbfounded, what to do now? Can they force the emperor to take a concubine, and can they still manage the emperor's bed?

Guan Youwei looked at the worried ministers and sneered: "You are willing to toss!" forced Jiang Qingyue away at the beginning, and now he is forcing the emperor to take a concubine, you all have nothing good to do?! You have to stare at the little things in the emperor's harem every day, and if you don't do the right thing, you are still the pillars of the country! ”

The ministers were red-faced by this, but now it is too late to say that they regret it?

So the ministers began to run to Zhou Rui'an every day to cry and repent, and Zhou Rui'an was so annoyed that he couldn't do it.

At this time, Luobei brought back a message that Chen Baobao was dying.

Chen Baobao committed suicide.

Since that year, Zhou Rui'an pretended to have a Gu worm attack, and the second prince failed to force the palace, Chen Baobao was also sent by Zhou Rui'an to Zhuangzi outside the city.

Zhou Rui'an was not harsh to Chen Baobao, and also mentioned finding a good family for her to marry, but Chen Baobao refused, she stayed in Zhuangzi, lived a pure-hearted life, and kept to herself for the past two years, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly commit suicide.

was found early and saved, but she was just hanging for a breath, she wanted to see Zhou Rui'an.

Zhou Ruian frowned, and finally decided to meet her.

Zhou Rui'an went out of the palace and went to Zhuangzi, Chen Baobao was lying on the bed, angry.

But when Zhou Rui'an walked in, Chen Baobao's eyes lit up when he saw his face, and her eyes fell on his face for a moment.

Zhou Ruian stood in front of the bed, his eyes as calm as water: "Why can't you think about it so much?" ”

Chen Baobao smiled softly, with pure joy: "Brother Rui'an, will you also care about me?" ”

Zhou Ruian couldn't help frowning.

Chen Baobao was a little panicked: "I, am I annoying you again?" After a pause, she muttered, "I've always been like this, I've always annoyed you, but I don't know it yet." ”

Zhou Ruian did not speak.

Chen Baobao raised his head, looked at him with hope in his eyes and said, "But, you came to see me, Brother Rui'an, does it mean that you still have me in your heart?" Even if it's just a little bit? ”

She was already angry, but her eyes were so bright when she looked at him.

Zhou Rui'an was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I came here just to ask you, did you kill Su Xiaorou?" ”

Chen Baobao was shocked, the light in her eyes gradually dissipated, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, such an astringent smile, she seemed to want to laugh, but she was too weak to even laugh.

"Are you just here for this...... she murmured, "since you want to know, I'll tell you." ”

Chen Baobao said abruptly: "I didn't kill her, but I am also an accomplice, before she died, let me help the second prince, the second prince colluded with Tuoba Gang, and it was Tuoba Gang's people who did it, and I am just a leader." ”

The original queen met her before she died, and told her the secret of 'Jun Mochou', and in exchange, she wanted to help the second prince when he needed it.

In order to save Zhou Rui'an, she agreed to the request of the abolished queen, and the queen was worried that she would go back on her word, so she forced her to swear a poisonous oath, if she broke her oath, she would not be able to marry Zhou Ruian in this life.

This is the most vicious oath for Chen Baobao, and he is her eternal obsession.

That's why she went to Jiang Qingyue, told her about the situation of the second prince, and asked Jiang Qingyue to stand up for the second prince.

But Chen Baobao didn't expect that she kept her promise and couldn't marry him in the end.

Zhou Ruian bowed slightly, was silent for a while, and then said, "Do you still have any unfulfilled wishes?" ”

"Does marrying you count?" Chen Baobao asked with a smile.

Zhou Ruian did not speak.

Chen Baobao had tears in her eyes, tears crossed the corners of her eyes, and she choked up: "I'm going to die, can't you fulfill my last wish?" You can marry another woman, why can't you marry me? ”

Zhou Ruian was silent for a moment before speaking; "I have never married any other woman, and I will not marry any woman but her."

Chen Baobao couldn't help but widen the corners of his eyes and looked at him in shock: "Then, those women ......"

Zhou Rui'an didn't speak, Chen Baobao looked at him unwillingly, and his last breath didn't come up, but he didn't blink an eye.

In the end, Chen Baobao loves Zhou Rui'an, and no one may know about it, she can't think about it, but because she knows the news of Concubine Zhou Rui'an, he can marry another woman, but he doesn't want her.

She has no chance, she can't marry him, she can only live a life of missing him in this remote Zhuangzi, so painful, so pathetic, she can't live anymore.

But Chen Baobao didn't know until he died that Zhou Rui'an's purpose in doing this was all for Jiang Qingyue.

What a tragic life, from the moment she was born, she became a stand-in for that person, enjoying respect and pampering in her place, and because that person lost everything, she was just a joke from beginning to end, and the funny thing is that she never had the opportunity to choose for herself.

Zhou Ruian looked at Chen Baobao's unclosed eyes and sighed lightly: "Let's bury it well." ”

After Zhou Ruian finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, this fake princess who had enjoyed the infinite respect of a generation of emperors ended her young life so quietly.

But until she died, she loved Zhou Rui'an.

As soon as Zhou Ruian returned to the palace, Luo Bei hurriedly walked in, looking anxious.

Zhou Ruian leaned back in the chair a little tiredly, and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

Luo Bei's expression was solemn: "Your Majesty, there is news from my mother." ”

Zhou Rui'an's eyes immediately opened, and he stared at Luo Beidao with a fierce eye: "Is this true?" ”

"Yes! The subordinates have sent someone to verify it again and again, it shouldn't be wrong," Luo Bei said solemnly, paused, and continued: "Last year, many people on the rivers and lakes were planted, all of them were traffickers and bandits who robbed homes and houses, which caused a commotion on the rivers and lakes, and the subordinates paid attention to it at that time, this is likely to be Niangniang!" ”

In the past two years, Zhou Ruian has not received news, but every time he has disappointed him, but even so, he has never given up looking for her, no matter whether the news is true or not, as long as it is related to her, it will make him excited.

Luo Bei also knew this, he really couldn't bear to see Zhou Rui'an's lost gaze again, so this time he deliberately verified it before revealing Zhou Rui'an's.

"Now, where is she?" Zhou Ruian said in a deep voice.

"Lingnan."

Zhou Rui'an's brows sank, and he immediately said, "Let's go, let's go to Lingnan!" ”

Speaking of Lingnan, this place is not a border road, nor is it prosperous, and even the scenery is nothing special, it is an ordinary place.

But this place has produced a lot of celebrities, the Lingnan gun king of the year, with a silver gun, beaten all over the rivers and lakes invincible, it can be called a one-person pass, ten thousand people can not be opened.

There is also Jing Zhao, the number one master in Ouchi that year, who is also a Lingnan person.

It can be said that Lingnan has bred a lot of heroes and heroes, and after a long time, this place has gathered a lot of people from the rivers and lakes, and the people of the rivers and lakes are willing to come here, maybe they will meet a hero again?

In the inn, a bag of silver fell in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked up and saw a young man who looked like a scholar.

"Come to the four upper rooms, and prepare another table of wine and food."

The shopkeeper hurriedly responded, and the scholar turned around and walked to Jiang Qingyue's table.

The scholar looked at Jiang Qingyue and lowered his voice and said, "Boss, this Lingnan fish and dragon are mixed, and there are many ears and eyes, we have to be careful, otherwise we are afraid that our whereabouts will be exposed." ”

"That Dog Emperor...... Now what are you afraid of revealing your whereabouts! The negative man has already married, and our boss is finally free! Still hiding in Tibet? Li Sanhuai said in a rough voice.

The scholar immediately glared at him, and Li Sanhuai couldn't help but touch his nose with a look of grievance.

Jiang Qingyue said lightly: "In a few days it will be my master's death, and after coming out for so many years, I haven't come back to see his old man's house, and I haven't worshipped, I really feel uneasy." ”

A few days ago, Jiang Qingyue suddenly dreamed of his master, and Jiang Qingyue decided to go back to Lingnan to have a look.

The scholar nodded, looking at Jiang Qingyue and stopped talking.

In the past two years, Jiang Qingyue has been with them, robbing the rich and helping the poor, acting bravely, and living a wonderful and fulfilling life, to be honest, it is much more wonderful than their previous days, and they also feel that there is nothing bad about such days.

However, the scholar felt that Jiang Qingyue should not live such a life, she should have become the most respected woman in the country, and join hands with her beloved man for a lifetime, instead of running around like this and wandering around.

And the scholar has always believed that Jiang Qingyue has never forgotten Zhou Rui'an, occasionally when they get together, he will see her accidentally lose her mind, every time at this time, the scholar knows that she must be missing Zhou Rui'an.

Yes, a man like Zhou Rui'an, how many women can forget? In the past two years, Zhou Ruian has not married a wife, and there has been no woman around him, they thought that after a while, Jiang Qingyue would go back, but they didn't expect that the news of Zhou Rui'an's draft came at this time.

For this matter, the four brothers were still indignant and wanted to go to Zhou Ruian to settle accounts, but Jiang Qingyue stopped them with an indifferent expression, although the scholar felt that Jiang Qingyue was completely forced to laugh.

This time, he accompanied Jiang Qingyue back to Lingnan, and he also had the intention of letting Jiang Qingyue relax.

The scholar didn't know that the current Zhou Ruian had rushed to Lingnan and began to look for Jiang Qingyue.

What Zhou Ruian didn't know was that now in addition to him, there was another person who had also arrived in Lingnan.

The handsome and sparse man, even if he was wearing the simplest cloth clothes, it was difficult to hide the nobility between his eyebrows, he walked into Lingnan City, and he was bookish, and he looked a little out of place in Lingnan City, which was full of people in the rivers and lakes.

"Young master, why do you bother, alas, I finally left that room, and you want to come to her again, with that person's intentions for her, I will definitely come to her, if we meet it then, won't our efforts be wasted?" The old servant beside the man said bitterly.

The man curled the corners of his lips and showed a faint smile: "But if I can't find her, I can't be by her side, I'm alive, what's the point?" After a pause, he looked at the old servant: "I tried, I tried for two years, no, if I am destined to die, then I want to die by her side." ”

The old servant looked at his quiet smiling face, and finally sighed lightly, he was willing to give up even a good country for her, let alone a life? I really don't know, is it a good thing or a bad thing for the young master to meet Jiang Qingyue?

Or is everything fate, everything reincarnation? The debt owed by the mother back then, but she had to let the young master repay it?

The man didn't care what the old servant was thinking, and he walked into the city, looking around instinctively with a pair of eyes.

The old servant followed him and couldn't help but say, "When is it a head so early?" She may not come to Lingnan. ”

"It's her master's death day soon, maybe she'll come back? We're going to have to try. The man said, not giving up looking around, trying to find the familiar figure.

Now he is very glad that the two were close enough at the beginning, and they talked a lot of times at night, so that he knew so much about her.

As soon as the man walked into the city, Zhou Ruian also entered the city with people.

This time, Zhou Ruian came out with Luobei, Liu Min and Xiaofuzi, who was crying and shouting to follow.

Some people in the rivers and lakes, seeing Xiaofuzi's thin appearance, couldn't help but look sideways at him a few more times, and then smiled contemptuously.

Xiao Fuzi looked aggrieved: "Master! Look at what kind of place this is! What kind of people are they? How can you be so unqualified! ”

Zhou Ruian glanced at him, and then his gaze fell on the passers-by: "You are indeed a little thin." ”

Xiaofuzi: "!! ”

Xiaofuzi pouted unhappily, he eats by his head, not by brute force! Hum!

Liu Min looked at Luobei: "Let's find a place to settle down first, it will be Master Niangniang's death in a few days." ”

Luo Bei nodded, and everyone walked in the direction of the inn.

At this time, Jiang Qingyue and the others finished eating, and the scholar was worried that Jiang Qingyue was in a bad mood, so he encouraged her to go out for a walk and relax.

Jiang Qingyue knew his kindness, and couldn't help but feel a little funny when he watched him give others a look and persuade her to go out.

The scholar felt that she would feel uncomfortable when she saw the news of Concubine Zhou Rui'an, but in fact, she didn't, even she was strange, why didn't she care? Probably because she had the confidence in her heart and knew that he wouldn't do that.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be stunned, did she already trust him so much? Thinking of Zhou Rui'an, she secretly sighed in her heart, she really missed him.

Jiang Qingyue still obeyed the scholar's wishes, walked out of the inn, and walked around.

The streets are very lively, the people in the rivers and lakes are informal, and there are discussions on the streets.

Jiang Qingyue stood in front of a vendor when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Qingyue! ”

Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, instinctively turned his head, and then saw the handsome man, standing not far from her, smiling at her with bright eyes.

When Jiang Qingyue saw him, her expression was fiercely stunned, and immediately, the great joy overwhelmed her, and she walked over to him eagerly.

"You, you're not dead!" Jiang Qingyue said movingly.

Even though Jiang Qingyue has always been calm and calm, she was still a little excited to see the person who should have died, standing alive in front of her.

That's right, standing in front of her is the second prince who should have died a long time ago.

The second prince smiled lightly and gently: "Why, seeing that I didn't die, you are very disappointed, aren't you?" ”

Jiang Qingyue looked flustered and hurriedly shook his head, but the second prince continued to quip: "Or do you see that I am not dead, and you want to report to Zhou Ruian to arrest me?" ”

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but smile bitterly, I haven't seen him for two years, I didn't expect the second prince to change his personality, and he would joke.

"Now I don't want to see him more than you do." Jiang Qingyue said helplessly.

The second prince nodded, and said matter-of-factly: "Well, after all, he has a wife!" ”

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but glare at him.

"Qingyue!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out again.
