Chapter 90: On how to make Jiang Qingyue jealous
As soon as Zhou Rui'an left, Fang Mingkun's face became gloomy, and he snorted coldly and said, "I don't know what my aunt thinks, she actually asked me to win over Zhou Rui'an?" After a pause and a sigh, he went back to deal with the queen.
Zhou Ruian walked out of the Moon Tower, couldn't help but glance back, and got into the carriage.
Luo Bei waited in the carriage and was relieved to see Zhou Rui'an coming back safely: "It's considered to be back, master, are you okay?" ”
Zhou Ruian leaned on the soft seat and said lazily: "What can happen, Fang Mingkun's choice of place in the Moon Tower shows that he didn't plan to do anything." ”
"Then what is he looking for his master?" Luo Bei couldn't help but ask.
"Tell me kiss." Zhou Ruian said lightly.
Luo Bei was startled, and couldn't help exclaiming: "What? After a pause, he couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Could it be that Fang Mingkun finally has self-knowledge and knows that he can't deal with you, so he plans to use a beauty trick?" ”
The corners of Zhou Rui'an's mouth hooked, revealing a mocking smile: "I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”
Luo Bei looked at him again and again.
Zhou Ruian said: "If you have anything to say, you can just say it." ”
Luo Bei couldn't help but ask: "Master, do you want to tell Jiang Gongzi about this matter?" ”
Zhou Ruian glared at him and reprimanded: "A very clever person on weekdays, why is he stupid at this time?" How could she know about such a thing? You don't think your master is in much trouble, do you? ”
Luo Bei looked back at him innocently, "No, master, the subordinates naturally hope that the master is good, but the master, haven't you heard of it?" Sometimes, eating a little vinegar appropriately can enhance the relationship between the two. ”
Zhou Rui'an's expression couldn't help but be a little thoughtful.
Luo Bei continued to say: "Master, there is a sentence from my subordinates, in fact, I have wanted to say it for a long time, between you and Jiang Gongzi, it is obvious that you are more affectionate, Jiang Gongzi is not so attentive to you......"
Zhou Rui'an's eyes couldn't help but narrow, and he looked at Luobei dangerously.
Luo Bei was not afraid of him this time, shrunk his neck, and said boldly: "Don't be angry, it's the same thing to be angry again, look at it, for Jiang Gongzi, when you didn't know her gender at the beginning, you broke your sleeves; Later, I knew her gender, and this was finally the cloud that was guarded, but Jiang Gongzi was recruiting bees and butterflies for you everywhere. is obviously a man, so he attracted Shen Yanniang, Chen Xiu'er, and last time, when Jiang Gongzi was captured by Fang Mingkun, you used such important evidence to save her, but the second prince directly let people go. ”
"Master, aren't you angry?" Luo Bei looked at Zhou Rui'an curiously.
Zhou Rui'an's eyes became gloomy, for Zhou Rui'an, everything can be handled easily, but for Jiang Qingyue, he always has no choice, because as long as it is related to him, he will always be in chaos.
Perhaps, the truth is just like what Luo Bei said, he is more affectionate towards her.
"And what do you mean by that?" Zhou Ruian asked rhetorically.
Luo Bei pretended to shake his head: "Master, you are not pretentious in major affairs, but you are really not good at feelings!" This time Fang Mingkun came to propose, you should tell Jiang Gongzi, let Jiang Gongzi know that you are also very marketable, she doesn't take you seriously, but some people take it seriously, no, even the daughter of the Hou Mansion is in a hurry to marry you. After a pause, he continued: "In this way, doesn't Jiang Gongzi have a sense of crisis? When the time comes, will it be better for you? ”
When Zhou Ruian heard the front, he already understood what Luo Bei meant, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, revealing a happy smile, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Perhaps, the master can get more benefits?" Luo Bei laughed.
The smile on the corner of Zhou Rui'an's mouth became deeper and deeper, and after a pause, he glanced at Luo Bei and said lightly: "This idea is not bad, if it is really useful, I will be rewarded when I look back!" ”
"Thank you, master!"
Zhou Ruian couldn't wait to tell Jiang Qingyue the news that he was being courted, and the two immediately returned home.
Jiang Qingyue has been waiting for Zhou Rui'an, and she also wants to know what Fang Mingkun is doing to find Zhou Rui'an.
Seeing Zhou Rui'an coming back, Jiang Qingyue greeted him and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Can I put it back? Also, what did Fang Mingkun say? ”
Zhou Ruian looked at Jiang Qingyue's eager eyes, and thought of what Luo Bei said in his mind, and a wave of anticipation surged in his heart.
He was silent, did not show his emotions, and bowed his head slightly: "Fang Mingkun has finally relented, Lin Zheyuan can finally be released, I will let someone lead it tomorrow." ”
Lin Zheyuan was finally released, Jiang Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help laughing: "That's great, I'm going to tell Xiu'er about this good rest." ”
Zhou Ruian was startled and hurriedly stopped her, he still had more important things to say, how could he let her go?
Zhou Rui'an's face showed a little grievance: "Why don't you ask, why did Fang Mingkun agree so happily?" ”
Jiang Qing is more and more innocent children, how can he know Zhou Rui'an's wolf ambitions, so he asked very obediently: "Yes, why did Fang Mingkun agree so happily?" He should hate the elder brother very much. ”
Zhou Ruian bowed slightly, she just knew.
"Because ......" Zhou Ruian took two steps forward, turned his back to Jiang Qingyue, and stopped talking.
Zhou Ruian has never been such a mother-in-law, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, walked up to him, and asked with a solemn expression: "What's wrong?" What the hell is going on? ”
Zhou Rui'an seemed to have finally found the bullied child of his elders, and looked at her aggrieved and pitiful: "Because Fang Mingkun wants to marry his sister to me and wants to show friendship with me, he agreed to let Lin Zheyuan go so happily." ”
Jiang Qingyue was stunned.
Zhou Rui couldn't help but be secretly happy, trying to make an innocent and calm appearance, but secretly observed her expression, hoping to see a look similar to jealousy and dissatisfaction.
Jiang Qingyue frowned, thought seriously for a while, and finally suddenly showed a sneer.
Zhou Ruian couldn't help but be overjoyed, Qingyue was angry for him!
"I also said, why did Fang Mingkun ask you to stay in the Moon Tower!" Jiang Qingyue said with a sneer.
Zhou Ruian is a little strange, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with their previous topic, right? Why did you mention Mochizuki Tower again? Can't you talk about their marriage properly, or be jealous or something?
Zhou Rui'an asked, "Why?" ”
Jiang Qingyue glanced at Zhou Rui'an: "As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, you should know that the owner behind this Moon Tower is Zhao Tianqiao, right?" ”
Who is Zhao Tianqiao? That's Qin Guifei's father.
Not only the queen mother will manage her own power outside the palace, in the past few years, although Qin Guifei has been very low-key, not fighting or grabbing, but as one of the only two princely mothers, how can Qin Guifei not plan for her son?
Mochizuki Tower is a restaurant, and the people who come and go are either rich or expensive, all of them are among the best people in the capital, and the topics they talk about in the restaurant are very important information.
This is similar to the fact that Weiyuan Dart Bureau can go south and north to deliver news.
Zhou Ruian nodded: "I know." ”
So when he saw this meeting place, he thought it was a little funny, but the question was, what does this have to do with the topic of conversation between them! He has no interest in Mochizuki Tower!
The corners of Jiang Qingyue's mouth hooked, and a gleam appeared in his eyes: "The boss of Wangyue Tower is Zhao Tianqiao, and you and Zhao Tianqiao and Qin Guifei are allies, this time Fang Mingkun openly invited you to a banquet in Wangyue Tower, it is impossible for Zhao Tianqiao not to know!" Perhaps, now Zhao Tianqiao and Qin Guifei are already beginning to doubt your relationship with Fang Mingkun! It's really a good trick! ”
Zhou Ruian was a little helpless, he wanted to fall in love with her, but she analyzed the conspiracy with him.
Jiang Qingyue glanced at Zhou Rui'an, obviously misunderstanding what he meant: "Don't take it seriously!" ”
Zhou Ruian said helplessly: "Zhao Tianqiao won't believe it, after all, everyone knows that the Dingguo Mansion treats me as an enemy, and Fang Mingkun also thinks that I forced Dingguo Gong to death." ”
"That's not necessarily, the current Dingguo Duke is Fang Mingkun, if the old marquis doesn't die, it won't be his turn to take the throne." Jiang Qingyue said lightly: "Saying that you are Fang Mingkun's nobleman, I believe it, the enemy...... Hmph, aren't they all interested in the supremacy of their families? ”
As for the flesh and blood affection, it is the weakest, Qin Guifei knows this best, like people in their profession, anything, flesh and blood affection, love and hatred, can be given up in the face of interests.
Zhou Ruian frowned faintly.
Jiang Qingyue continued: "Not to mention, he still wants to marry his sister to you!" With a younger sister in exchange for a powerful Jinyi Wei commander, Fang Mingkun is really good at wishful thinking! What could be a stronger relationship than marrying? Okay, even if Fang Mingkun won't talk to you because of a younger sister, outsiders won't think so, outsiders will treat you as the queen's party, you say, can Concubine Qin still believe you? ”
Zhou Rui'an bowed slightly, he had to admit that what Jiang Qingyue said was reasonable, his eyes flashed: "It seems that the life of the queen mother in the palace is not easy now," after a pause, he continued: "No wonder when Fang Mingkun talked to me today, he mentioned the queen mother at every turn, it turned out that this was for the queen mother to show me favor!" ”
The queen's life in the palace is not easy, Zhou Rui'an has long known this, just think about Princess Ningyang, but after all, the queen was born in the Dingguo Mansion and has two princes by her side, so she will not be as miserable as Princess Ningyang.
But obviously the queen doesn't think so now, she can't stand such days anymore, so she plans to save herself, just like Jiang Qingyue said, a brocade guard commander is indeed a very big help for the current queen.
It's just that his Zhou Rui'an's favor is so good? With a woman, it is too whimsical to want to win his heart!
Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but say curiously: "I heard that the emperor's attitude towards the queen has not improved?" ”
Zhou Rui'an's eyes flashed, "Think about it, why did you go to the people, the emperor is not stupid, of course he knows who did it, if it weren't for the power of the Dingguo Mansion, he would have abolished the queen a long time ago, how could his attitude towards her improve!" ”
Jiang Qingyue's expression faded, oh, it turned out that for Emperor Xuande, the most cherished daughter could also be given up after weighing the pros and cons, she sighed in her heart, knowing that this was a normal and even correct decision for Emperor Xuande, but there was still a faint disappointment in her heart.
Her father was never what she thought he was.
She had been wondering if her parents had been looking for her as well, and if they were heartbroken when they found out that she was missing? So she never thought of giving up, even if she knew that this road was difficult, she had to keep looking, just to tell them that their daughter was fine and not dead.
Now she found out that she was lost, but no one ever knew, and after more than ten years, her father knew, but because he had too many concerns, he couldn't even ask the culprit Xingshi.
She wasn't disappointed, she just felt ...... I feel a little sad, only some.
Zhou Rui'an was very keenly aware of Jiang Qingyue's depressed mood, but he didn't say much, for him, the more disappointed Jiang Qing was in Emperor Xuande, the more beneficial it was for him.
Jiang Qingyue's loss quickly flashed, she looked at Zhou Rui'an, and said seriously: "So, don't think that people are taking a fancy to you, in fact, it's all for the sake of beauty!" You can't be fooled! ”
Zhou Ruian looked at Jiang Qingyue's expression of 'if you are a fool', and his mood was really ...... It's hard to put into words!
What jealousy, what jealousy, what gives rise to a sense of urgency, the importance of discovering him, is not there at all!
It's all a bad idea from Luobei! What did he prove as a result? It only proves that his family Qingyue is really smart and keen, and he discovered Fang Mingkun's intentions so quickly, oh yes, it also makes Qingyue worry that he is very likely to be confused by the beauty scheme, but other than that, there is nothing!
Zhou Ruian felt that he was also stupid, how could he believe Luobei's words? He's still a bachelor?!
No matter how depressed he was in his heart, Zhou Ruian still smiled and said, "Don't worry, Qingyue, I promise you won't be fooled!" ”
Jiang Qingyue nodded and patted him on the shoulder: "I naturally believe in you!" After a pause, she clapped her hands, "Hey, it's not early, I have to go back, and I have to tell Xiu'er the good news!" ”
Zhou Ruian watched her leave with ease, and her mood was really complicated.
When Luo Bei saw Jiang Qingyue leaving, he thought that his plan was successful, so Jiang Qingyue left angrily, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and hurriedly came over to ask for a reward.
"Master, how's it going? Is Jiang Gongzi very angry? Luo Bei asked with a wicked smile.
Zhou Ruian glanced at him coldly: "Clean the entire living room tonight, wipe all the tables and chairs again, and don't let others help!" With that, he walked out.
Luo Bei: "......" is over, this is another failure, Jiang Gongzi is really extraordinary!
The next day, Fang Mingkun entered the palace and told the queen mother about Zhou Rui'an's reaction.
Fang Mingkun said: "Auntie, for some reason, Zhou Rui'an's attitude towards us has always been very hostile, otherwise the Weiyuan Dart Bureau and the Chen family's affairs would not be poked out, so why do you have to win him over?" ”
The queen frowned slightly: "Zhou Ruian is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, do you know how important this position is?" If nothing else, it's just three thousand brocade guards, which is enough to ......" After a pause, she didn't continue: "Mingkun, I know that you still hate Zhou Rui'an because of your father's affairs, but now we must let go of our hatred, Zhou Rui'an, it's best to win us over!" ”
Fang Mingkun nodded slightly, but his expression was still a little reluctant.
The queen mother slowed down her tone: "Of course, if the big thing is completed in the future, Zhou Ruian is just an ant in our hands, and when the time comes, it's not what you want?" Mingkun, your father is my own brother, and my heart aches more than anyone else for his death, but those who achieve great things are not informal! As long as we can have the last laugh, we can endure it now, so what's the matter? You have to take care of the big picture! ”
As soon as he said this, Fang Mingkun felt a lot relieved, and he nodded solemnly: "I understand, aunt, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the overall situation!" ”
The queen smiled with satisfaction.
Fang Mingkun said annoyedly: "But now we are willing to win over Zhou Rui'an, but Zhou Rui'an is unwilling to submit to us, in the final analysis, he is still wary of us." ”
"This is also normal, with Zhou Rui'an's personality, he will not be co-opted so easily." When the queen spoke, she said in a deep voice: "In this way, when you officially take over as the Duke of Dingguo, you will entertain the guests and send a post to Zhou Rui'an, and I will let Chen'er send it, I think Zhou Rui'an will not give this face, and ...... when the time comes."
Fang Mingkun looked at the queen puzzled.
The corners of the queen's mouth hooked: "When you enter the mansion, there are so many guests, if you collide with the female dependents, then we can only blame our Dingguo Mansion for not being well entertained!" After a pause, a gleam flashed in her eyes: "But the girls in our Dingguo Mansion are not so easy to collide with!" ”
Fang Mingkun suddenly realized, there are many people at the banquet, and there are so many guests, it is easy to have accidents, this kind of thing is not a rare thing in the noble circle, there are many girls who want to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and they will have an 'unexpected encounter' with the famous son on such an occasion, under normal circumstances, the young masters will accept the girl for the sake of fame, naturally they can't be a wife, but such a girl, being a concubine, is already on the rise.
The niece of the Dingguo Mansion and the queen's mother naturally can't bear this grievance, and a wife will definitely not be able to run away.
Fang Mingkun hesitated a little: "...... Zhou Rui'an's behavior is quite perverse and unpredictable, will it anger him? I'm worried that even if it happens, Zhou Ruian won't be used by us. ”
"It can't be used by us, and we can't let him stand on Concubine Qin's side!" The queen mother immediately said: "Now that Concubine Qin dares to be so arrogant, isn't it relying on Zhou Rui'an's momentum?" If there was no support from Zhou Rui'an, she and Zhao Tianqiao would dare to jump like this? ”
If Zhou Rui'an marries a girl from the Dingguo Mansion, Concubine Qin and Zhao Tianqiao will definitely not dare to believe Zhou Rui'an, so the alliance between the two sides will naturally break up unhappily, and when the time comes, Zhou Rui'an will not be able to support them!
A faint smile appeared on the corner of the queen's mouth.
The queen mother is still very sincere in recruiting Zhou Rui'an, at least Lin Zheyuan was indeed put back.
Hearing that Lin Zheyuan could come back, Chen Xiuer's complexion changed for the better, and she had to go with Jiang Qingyue to pick up Lin Zheyuan home.
Jiang Qingyue had nothing to do with Chen Xiuer (or most of the women), so he had to agree helplessly.
Zhou Rui'an and Luo Bei, who witnessed the whole process, saw this situation, and Luo Bei felt that he finally understood something.
Luo Bei lowered his voice and followed Zhou Rui'an to bite his ear: "Master, I don't think anything else, in fact, the main thing is that the gender is wrong, you see, Jiang Gongzi is so considerate and obedient to Miss Chen!" You ......"
Zhou Ruian glanced at him with a smile, and Luo Bei immediately stopped talking, but he still quietly complained in his heart, not daring to say Jiang Gongzi, only daring to murder him, hum!
Chen Xiu'er is going, Jiang Qingyue is not worried about her, she will definitely go, Jiang Qingyue is going, and Zhou Ruian is definitely going to go.
So Lin Zheyuan experienced the treatment of being picked up from prison by Zhou Shizi in person.
Lin Zheyuan was moved to tears when he saw Zhou Rui'an: "Actually, I even asked the prince to pick me up in person, which really made me embarrassed!" ”
Zhou Ruian smiled slightly, and patted him on the shoulder soothingly: "The most important thing is that you are safe and sound, let's go, go home." ”
The three words "go home" made Lin Zheyuan yearn for it, he raised his head, the sun was very strong today, as if it could melt all the cold.
He knew that if he left here today, he would abandon the past and get a new life, and the past of Weiyuan Dart Game would eventually become the past.
He strode forward, towards a future of his own.
When I got home, there was already a doctor waiting, and it was Zhou Rui'an who called me.
Although Lin Zheyuan was locked up, Zhou Ruian couldn't get him out, but he could still take care of him, so Lin Zheyuan was not tortured inside.
It's just that Lin Zheyuan couldn't get past that hurdle in his heart, self-torture, and an environment like prison, so he also suffered a lot, and the whole person lost a lot of weight.
Fortunately, Lin Zheyuan was young, and after the doctor checked the pulse, he said that it was no big deal, prescribed medicine and left.
When Chen Xiu'er saw him, she was very distressed and tearful, "Senior brother! ”
Lin Zheyuan held her hand and gently wiped away her tears, "Xiu'er, in the future, there will only be the two of us." ”
Chen Xiu'er was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what he meant, but she didn't hesitate, she nodded heavily.
Lin Zheyuan looked at Zhou Rui'an, a little shy, and a little shyly said: "Lord Shizi, I want to get married with Xiu'er as soon as possible, I don't know if Lord Shizi is willing to come and be a witness?" ”
Jiang Qingyue knew that Lin Zheyuan had this idea when she came back, and she didn't think it was strange, but Chen Xiu'er's face was flushed with shame, and she couldn't help but turn around and run out.
Lin Zheyuan was taken aback, and looked at Jiang Qingyue a little helplessly: "Xiu'er, what's wrong with Xiu'er?" But don't you want to? ”
Jiang Qingyue hurriedly said: "I have nothing to do with her, really, nothing!" ”
Zhou Rui'an: "......"
