Chapter 167: The Cold War
Xu Langyin held the holy decree in the room, looked at it for a long time and said, "Why do you suddenly feel empty in your heart, as if you have lost something." Shouldn't I be happy? I can accompany my father and mother more, why do I have an inexplicable urge to cry, what's wrong with me, why is this happening? ”
After saying two lines of tears, Xu Langyin thought again that it could be the holy decree that Chu Wanjun had asked for? It's not why the emperor suddenly ordered me to postpone the wedding, is he angry because of what happened last time, why is he so stingy, it's too much, I didn't get angry with him, how could he be like this.
On the other side, Chu Wanjun of the palace looked at the official document, looking uneasy, and the people next to him couldn't stand it, and suddenly Chu Wanjun said: "Come and prepare the car, go to the General's Mansion to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law." The servant said, "Yes, my lord." ”
The henchman asked, "What is the prince going to do?" Chu Wanjun said: "You have to do a full set of plays, so naturally I can't let my good imperial brother stretch out his hand to the general's mansion." The henchman didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart that the princess-to-be must forgive the princess in the future, after all, this was not the prince's intention, and it would not be easy to settle accounts with the prince in the future, so he could only shake his head helplessly, but in addition to this method, there was no other way to prevent the emperor from attacking the general's mansion against the princess's family.
In the general's mansion, Qiao Jingshu and Xu Yansheng saw that their daughter went into the room without saying anything, and they didn't dare to disturb her, and they both knew in their hearts that they could only let the two of them talk about this matter by themselves. Qiao Jingshu was sad and lay in Xu Yansheng's arms and sighed secretly, Xu Yansheng could only gently pat his wife in his arms and said: "It's okay, it's okay, Jingshu, don't worry about Yin'er, I'm afraid that this matter is different, let's pay more attention." ”
Qiao Jingshu raised her head and said, "I guessed it at first, but I didn't expect my baby daughter's reaction to be so big, I'm afraid that I have already been deeply moved by that King Xun, otherwise how could this be." Xu Yansheng said calmly: "How can the love of a daughter be clear in a few words?" If it were that simple, would you and I need so many years? After all, we've all come this way, don't worry, it'll be fine. ”
Qiao Jingshu pouted and said, "I'm not afraid that our baby daughter will do stupid things." Xu Yansheng doted on his beloved wife and said, "Are you still worried about this?" You don't want her to be anyone's daughter, will our daughter be so vulnerable? ”
Qiao Jingshu snorted and said, "That's right, if my Qiao Jingshu's daughter is so fragile, I will slap her to death with one palm." Xu Yansheng was a little embarrassed, thinking to himself that you really would, I was afraid that I would cry with her, right? You love her the most, and you can't bear to lose a single hair and want to shoot to death?
Qiao Jingshu's face was empty-hearted, she was just talking, she would never do it, she didn't have time to hurt her, how could she start beating her, she was just a quick tongue, so she wouldn't do it, after all, this is her own baby, the only one seedling, how can she be hurt.
Then Qiao Jingshu glanced at Xu Yansheng with a weak heart, and found that Xu Yansheng looked at him with a look of disbelief, Qiao Jingshu instantly felt that she was shy, and thought: I hate it, how can it be like this, in case you are not afraid that I will really do it? Qiao Jingshu then glanced at Xu Yansheng again, but Xu Yansheng still had the same expression, and Qiao Jingshu immediately played a little scoundrel.
Qiao Jingshu said with a little arrogance: "Oh, what people say is fun, don't look at others like this." Xu Yansheng always felt powerless to the woman in his arms, and unconsciously let her coax her, everything went according to her, and there was no way for anyone to let this be his beloved woman.
This is Yun Li ran over and said happily: "Second master, second wife, the future uncle King Xun has come to visit, I heard that you are back, and I came to visit you," as he spoke, he gestured with his hand, "The future uncle has brought so many gifts." ”
Qiao Jingshu and Xu Yansheng looked at each other for a moment, and then said to Yun Li: "Please go to the back garden to talk about it, and then let people go to the kitchen to prepare pastries and make good tea." Yun Lifu saluted and said, "Yes, the slave will do it." After saying that, he stepped back and went to find King Xun to lead the way for him.
Qiao Jingshu and Xu Yansheng were very close to the back garden, so they came to the back garden and waited, and arranged for someone to hurriedly clean up the back garden, which was particularly beautiful.
The back garden was in a hurry, but the other side was particularly leisurely, Yun Liyun came to Chu Wanjun and saluted and said without hurrying: "See the prince, the second master and his wife, please go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers." Chu Wanjun said flatly: "It's so good." Yun Li didn't understand what Chu Wanjun meant, she had been with the young lady for a long time, and she had seen the prince many times, and this was the first time that the prince was so incomprehensible.
Yun Li didn't dare to talk much, he only felt that the prince was wrong today, and he didn't dare to annoy the nobles, so he carefully led the way and went to the back garden. Chu Wanjun glanced at Yun Liyun and thought: This maid is very smart, she must be a close person to that girl, and she has been carrying this maid with her several times, so she must be useful in the future.
Yun Li, who was leading the way, didn't know that he had been targeted by King Xun and was scheduled to be an informant who would win someone's favor in the future. A royal man must not underestimate any of them, and if he doesn't see a person, he will judge whether others are useful or not, whether they can be used for themselves, and it is often said that a companion is like a tiger.
When Chu Wanjun came to the back garden, he saw Xu Yansheng waiting there with his wife Qiao Jingshu and two maids, this was the first time Chu Wanjun saw Xu Yansheng and his wife Qiao Jingshu seriously. When he saw Xu Yansheng at first glance, he knew that his future father-in-law really lived up to his reputation. That girl really inherited his mother, the same beautiful eyebrows and ink eyes, the two have five points of similarity, but the girl is still a little tender, and the future mother-in-law said that she is mature and steady. Sure enough, his daughter-in-law gathered all the advantages. (Someone suddenly becomes narcissistic.) )
Although there was a lot of emotion in his heart, Chu Wanjuan, who did not show a trace of his face, said modestly and politely: "I have seen General Xu and Mrs. Xu. Xu Yansheng took his wife and maid and hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen the prince." Chu Wanjun hurriedly helped the two of them up and said: "No need to be polite, in the future, I will be married to Lang Yin and be a family, this king is still a junior, how can I accept this great gift from the two?" What you can't stand can't stand it. ”
Xu Yansheng said: "That Weichen is offended, please come here." As he spoke, he led Chu Wanjuan to sit down at the lakeside pavilion in the back garden, Qiao Jingshu followed behind Xu Yansheng, since she saw Chu Wanjuan, she had been looking at this rumored prince Xun, and it could be seen from his gestures that this person was strong in martial arts, and his heart was not evil, although he was not a good person, he must be a gentleman who was clean and self-conscious.
Everyone sat down and served tea, Chu Wanjun said: "This king came to visit the two of you this time, and neither of them was there when I was engaged to Lang Yin before, so I didn't visit in time, please forgive me." ”
Qiao Jingshu said softly: "How could it be, our husband and wife were also in danger at that time, how could we blame you, Yin Er was also very pleased that we husband and wife could find a good family." Xu Yansheng catered and said: "Madame is right, the prince doesn't have to be pregnant anymore." Qiao Jingshu found that she only said about Yin'er, this King Xun didn't need an honorific title, just use me, thinking that this King Xun was also affectionate to Yin'er, and she finally didn't have to worry about her daughter being unladylike.
Chu Wanjun said again: "I received the holy decree today to delay the marriage, and this king also agreed, after all, the two of them just came back, and the girl must be unwilling to leave, and it is also appropriate to accompany the two more." ”
Soon the three of them chatted happily, and Qiao Jingshu asked people to call Xu Langyin, saying that King Xun was here. Xu Langyin was happy the moment she heard him coming, and the previous worries, complaints, unhappiness and grievances were all left behind, her only thought was that Chu Wanjun had changed his mind, he was not angry at all, he still loved himself and wanted to marry himself.
So she was happy and angry, anyway, her heart is up and down now, she doesn't know what kind of mood she is in to go to the back garden, she came to the back garden nervously, and bowed in a proper manner: "I've seen the prince, I've seen my father and mother." Chu Wanjun picked up the tea and didn't gnaw, Xu Yansheng doted on Xu Langyin and said, "Yin'er, you're here, sit down." Someone will serve another pot of tea. ”
Xu Langyin saw that Chu Wanjun didn't care about herself, she saw indifference and endless darkness in his eyes, and she was unconscious in an instant, she didn't hear what her father said, and she didn't know how to sit down. Sure enough, it is still a woman who is careful, Qiao Jingshu quickly found out about this, obviously she can say with certainty that King Xun loves his daughter, because his eyes have never left his daughter, but why is he so indifferent to her?
Xu Langyin said to Chu Wanjun: "Is the prince okay recently?" Chu Wanjuan said indifferently: "Well, it's good." Xu Langyin didn't expect Chu Wanjun to be so perfunctory, his heart was half cold, and he lowered his head and said nothing? A trace of reluctance and distress flashed in Chu Wanlian's eyes, and a trace of guilt, he couldn't confess to her, he could only hide it from her, he didn't want her to get hurt.
All this was seen by Qiao Jingshu, it turned out that what King Xun did was also another hardship, why should it be so? So she created an opportunity and said: "The prince and Yin Er will get married in a short time, and our husband and wife will bother you." As he spoke, he took Xu Yansheng and the maid away, and took away the prince's guards by the way.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Xu Langyin asked him with the last glimmer of hope: "Have you never had me in your heart?" Chu Wanjun was worried that there was a traitor in the general's mansion, so he said more indifferently: "It's good to understand in your heart" Xu Langyin asked again: "Do you want military power?" ”
Chu Wanjun decisively admitted: "Yes, the purpose of approaching you is just for the military power of the Xu family." Every word that came out of his mouth was so heavy, Xu Langyin was out of breath, she felt that her blood stopped flowing and began to freeze, she laughed twice and left.
