In the hall, Wan Yan Ronglie held Su Wenmei's hands and was staring at her: "Ah Mei, I was negligent." That day, I went to find a sobering soup for you, but Uloran took advantage of the loophole and took advantage of my absence to plan to harm you. ”

"You come with me, go back to Hong, and I'll ......"

"Bang!" Before Yan Ronglie finished speaking, the inner door of Jinyun Palace was kicked open violently. Cheng Qian's face turned pale, and he looked at the two people who were so close to him.

Su Wenmei tried her best to break free of Yan Ronglie's hand and knelt down: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”

Cheng Qian looked at Wanyan Ronglie: "Lord Wanyan, this is the palace of the Xiling Dynasty, the concubine's dormitory, why are you here!" He approached him step by step: "Lord Wanyan, but the concubine who covets me?!" ”

Wan Yan Ronglie turned to look at the people who came in, and did not speak, Cheng Qian drew the knife of the guard kneeling on the side, and put the knife against Wan Yan Ronglie's neck: "Do you really think that I won't kill you?" ”

Although Cheng Gan's knife was against Wan Yan Ronglie's neck, Wan Yan Ronglie smiled and had no fear: "Everyone in Xiling Kingdom knows that Wan Yan visited Xiling as an envoy and was willing to exchange a million gold for peace. The emperor has beheaded the envoys, how to explain to the people of the world, how to explain to your courtiers? ”

Wanyan is still the same sentence, I am willing to exchange millions of gold and countless treasures for a woman, and for the eternal friendship between the two countries. The emperor has so many concubines, if you think about it, you won't care about one or two, right? ”

Cheng Gan's face turned blue with anger: "I have already said, my country and mountains are vast, and it is not uncommon to exchange a woman for these things, not to mention that this person is my concubine!" Lord Wanyan said this, as if it was an insult to Xiling Kingdom! Zhao Xunzhi! ”

Zhao Xunzhi listened to the order and walked quickly to Cheng Qian: "Your Majesty! ”

"Haosheng will send Lord Wanyan back to the post station, send more people to protect it, Lord Wanyan is worth more than one million gold, if you go to the pool, only you ask!"

"Yes." Zhao Xunzhi received the order, walked in front of Wanyan Ronglie, and bowed his head slightly: "Lord Wanyan, please." ”

Wan Yan Ronglie came out of Jinyun Palace under the pressure of many guards. Su Wenmei knelt on the ground, and she didn't get the order to get up for a long time, if it was in the past, Su Wenmei knelt down, Cheng Qian would be distressed for a long time.

Cheng Qian saw that Yan Ronglie was gone, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and the whole person exhaled a long breath and glanced at Su Wenmei, who was kneeling on the ground.

He didn't mean to wake her up, nor did he speak, and walked out of Jinyun Palace.

"The concubine sends the emperor." Su Wenmei was respectful and spoke.

As soon as Cheng Qian walked out of Jinyun Palace, he saw a guard kneeling at the gate of the palace, his face flushed: "See the emperor for his humble duties." The emperor forgave his sins, he was incompetent, and this morning in Baiguang Temple, he lost his face. ”

Cheng Qian was displeased: "I already know, you are not effective in taking care of the envoys of Huihong, and I will write it down first, if I let him enter the palace without permission next time, I will punish you all together for this mistake." So saying, he turned and walked away.

"Yes." The guard answered.

Su Wenmei was helped up by Bing'er and looked at the scene outside through the gap in the door. She touched her wrist, which had just been pulled by Wan Yan Ronglie, which hurt a little.

"Niangniang......" Bing'er said worriedly: "Slave maid, look, the emperor is moved today, if Niangniang has a knot in the emperor's heart because of today's events, what should I do?" ”

Su Wenmei smiled bitterly, what else could I do? She didn't know what to do herself. In the past, when she first entered the palace, the emperor was obedient to her, and he picked the best for her. Now I know that he can also treat any other concubine in the same way, including the Zhuang Xianren who is always showy.

If there is really an estrangement between the two because of this, what can she do, she can't do anything, it's not a step by step.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Lizi followed behind Cheng Qian: "Your Majesty, no matter what, the dragon body is important." Don't get angry about these things. ”

"But then again, this Lord Wanyan actually designed to spare such a big circle, just to come to see Concubine Wen, and also offered such generous conditions, it can be seen that Lord Wanyan is determined to win Concubine Wen, how can the emperor plan."

Cheng Qian glanced at him and walked: "Tell me to go down, if anyone present dares to spread this matter, I will take off his head!" ”

"Yes." Xiao Lizi should accept it and arrange it.

There was a precedent in the previous dynasty that the unfavored concubines were named princesses and married to small remote countries and relatives, in order to make peace between the two countries, often with a woman as a sacrifice, which could be exchanged for the two countries to stop the war and maximize the interests of the country. Therefore, Wan Yan Ronglie's request is not abrupt.

But Cheng Qian didn't want to give up the woman on the tip of his heart to others. It's just that if the ministers know that the woman who Wanyan Ronglie is trying to exchange is Su Wenmei, then the court will definitely set off an uproar, even if Su Wenmei is left in the end, her life in the palace will not be easy.

After Yan Ronglie was "escorted" by the guards all the way back to the post station on the outskirts of the city, he saw a person who looked like a Huihong warrior standing at the door of the post station. I implore Lord Wanyan to go back quickly, and the people we have planted will report that the Wuluo family is indeed rebellious. ”

Wan Yan Ronglie was like a thunderbolt, and his expression changed suddenly: "What! ”

"The King. This is a secret report that our people intercepted from the Ulo family. He stepped forward, took a bamboo tube the thickness of a small thumb from his sleeve, and handed it to the man on the horse.

After reading it, Rong Lie's face turned pale: "Call Ah Yin and return to Huihong quickly." ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Qian was having dinner in the palace of the virtuous concubine, when he saw the guards come to report, and after Yan Ronglie left a letter this afternoon, left Xiling, and returned to Huihong.

The chopsticks in his hand were slowly put down: "He is still willing to go back." I thought he was happy. ”

Concubine Xian smiled: "After hearing that Yan Ronglie came to the Central Plains, in addition to wanting to stop fighting and seeking peace, he is also looking for his fiancée who has been displaced to the Central Plains. ”

Cheng Qian was silent, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat. He suddenly thought that on the day he first saw Su Wenmei's bright, helpless and slightly aggressive eyes in the building.

How could such a stubborn and unyielding woman be the fiancée of Wanyan Ronglie?

Su Wenmei was bored in the palace, and she had already made the emperor very unhappy when she had made a fuss in the main hall. Since Yan Ronglie broke into her Jinyun Palace, Cheng Qian has not come to see her for two consecutive days.

She couldn't help but be a little bored after lunch, so she moved a stool, tasted the peach blossom brew sent by Su Fu a few days ago in the palace garden, and played Go with Bing'er.

"Concubine Wen, Concubine Hui asked to see her, saying that she was bored in the palace alone and wanted to come over to be a companion to Niangniang." The palace maid outside the door came to report.

"Niangniang, the slave maid just said that the slave maid is not good at chess, and she can't play Niangniang. No, the companion came. Ben Er said, getting up from her stool.

"Now everyone in the palace is rumored that I have fallen out of favor, and everyone is looking forward to me falling out of favor, but she still remembers it from time to time and comes to accompany me." She smiled, "Bing'er, please let her in quickly." ”

"Yes."

"Sister, Yaxing, playing chess." Concubine Hui entered Jinyun Palace and squatted down: "See ...... concubine"

Su Wenmei didn't wait for her to finish, so she stepped forward to help her up: "My sister can play Go?" I'm bored today, so I set up this chessboard, but I have a relationship with my sister. ”

"I know a little bit about it, just itchy hands, let's just play a few rounds in this situation, let's pass the time." Concubine Hui got up and replied.

The two sat at the table, tasting peach blossom stuffing, eating fruit melon seeds, and playing chess. Su Wenmei originally had no heart for decline, but gradually became cheerful in the company of Qian Hui, and talked and laughed when playing chess.

"This peach blossom brew is really delicious, sweet and warm, and it is the most suitable for women to drink. Even when it is a general drink, it is also excellent. ”

Su Wenmei smiled: "Old Madam Su gave me a total of three altars, and I can't drink too much." If you like it, I'll send someone to your Zhongxiu Palace later, and the good things will be shared together." ”

"Then thank you sister, if I get anything good another day, I will be the first to think of my sister."

When Cheng Qian came to Jinyun Palace again, when he entered the courtyard, he saw Qian Hui and Su Wenmei giggling, talking and laughing, where was there a concubine who had fallen out of favor?

Su Wenmei and Qian Hui saw Cheng Qian coming in at a glance, and Xiao Lizi reported: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Su Wenmei and Qian Hui got up from the table and squatted down to salute: "The concubines see the emperor." ”

"Get up." Cheng Qian said, walked to the position where Su Wenmei was originally sitting, and looked at the chess game: "In this Go, Bai Zi is slightly better, it seems that Hui Concubine is inferior to Wen Mei."

Concubine Hui smiled: "Sister Concubine Wen's chess skills are exquisite, so she is naturally better than Qian Hui." ”

"Let me, come and kill her sharpness!" As he spoke, Xiao Lizi stepped forward and put the black and white seeds on the table in the chess jar next to him.

Su Wenmei smiled faintly decently: "Yes", and walked to the opposite side of Cheng Qian as she spoke, and sat down.

Qian Hui stood and watched the two of them playing chess: "It's not too early, the emperor came to see Concubine Wen, and the concubine retired first." ”

Cheng Qian waved his hand and signaled in agreement. Su Wenmei nodded slightly to her, and Qian Hui left Jinyun Palace.

Cheng Qian and Su Wenmei played half of the chess, at first Cheng Qian was far ahead, but now, neither side has an advantage.

Su Wenmei looked at her absent-minded appearance and said: "When the emperor first played chess with his concubines, he blocked the concubines' sons with almost no way out, how did it become a draw now?" Did the emperor deliberately let his concubines go, or did he have something on his mind? ”

Cheng Qian glanced at Xiao Lizi: "I and Concubine Wen have something to say, idle people, wait, leave quickly." ”

"Yes." Xiao Lizi took the order and left with a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

"Wan Yan Ronglie returned to Huihong three days ago, do you know?" Cheng Qian looked at the chess game and said as if unintentionally.

"The concubine is far away in the deep palace, I really don't know." The black chess piece that Su Wenmei held in her hand landed on the chess game and ate a piece of white clean.
