"Beauty." The national teacher said unhurriedly.

Obviously, the civil and military officials and the emperor Shen Luo did not expect his answer.

The civil and military officials then discussed-

"How can this powerful national teacher look at a lowly concubine."

"Isn't the national teacher uninterested in beauty? Why is it like a different person today? ”

"Isn't it? Could it be that this is Jing Yan paralyzing the emperor? ”

……

Civil and military officials, for a while, there were different opinions.

Everyone in Chu knows that Jing Yan, who is rumored to be known as "the first son in the world", is the most unapproachable to women, and there are not a few people who admire the national teacher among the official ladies in the capital, among which there are many girls with beautiful looks and moon appearances, but this Jing Yan is not interested, he doesn't even look at it, he is over twenty years old, and he has not yet married a wife.

"Which beauty does Aiqing fall in love with?" Shen Luo also asked with interest.

At this time, Jing Yan glanced at her, and Yan Jinxi suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants the woman sitting next to the queen's mother, Yan Jinxi, the fourth lady of Prime Minister Yan's mansion."

"What?" Shen Luo obviously didn't expect this Jing Yan's thoughts.

But he is the supreme emperor, he really doesn't want to give up the woman he likes to others, out of the dignity of the emperor, Shen Luo said: "Anyone can do it, but she can't, Yan Jinxi's identity is not worthy of being the wife of Aiqing." ”

Jing Yan: "Your Majesty, Jing Yan doesn't care about these identities, and Jing Yan doesn't care about Yan Jinxi's identity as a concubine, since the founding of the Chu State, it has always been only based on whether it is meritocracy, and when it depends on the dignity of the concubine......"

Emperor Shen Luo casually found a high-sounding reason to reject Jing Yan, how smart Jing Yan was, he still retorted on his face.

However, Emperor Shen Luo fell in love with Yan Jinxi, which he had heard of for a long time.

Yan Jinxi was a little glad that Shen Luo rejected Jing Yan's request...... She didn't want to fall into the hands of this unpredictable person.

For a while, the atmosphere in the Taiji Hall was a little awkward, and Emperor Shen Luo, in order to ease the atmosphere, said with a pleasant face: "Jing Aiqing, I will reward you with ten thousand taels of gold first, as for this Yan Jinxi, let's think about it in the long run, how about it?" ”

"Your Majesty."

The national teacher Jing Yan got down his steps and reluctantly agreed, but his cold cheeks had already become winter overnight, and the snow was frosting, although he was not the Ninth Five-Year Honor, but he had the power to the world, and when was the thing he wanted to be rejected.

Later, in order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere in the hall, Emperor Shen Luo called in a few slender singers to dance to cheer up.

For a time, on the Taiji Palace, singing and dancing were leveled. The singers are all trained dancers, and they dance vividly and emotionally.

Shen Luo watched the singing and dancing in the hall with a pair of eyes obsessively, drinking wine from time to time, and saying "good" again and again.

And Jing Yan was not interested in this song and dance, he just glanced at the song and dance a few times, and then looked at the woman sitting opposite again, Yan Jinxi, I don't know what kind of scene this girl is dancing in, Jing Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he thought about it.

"Your Majesty, there is something in the minister's mansion, so I will retreat first." Jing Yan got up at this time and said.

Emperor Shen Luo was a little displeased, but because of this person's power and merits, he didn't say anything, but let him retreat with a pleasant face, Shen Luo's situation was very embarrassing, and then he suppressed his anger in his heart.

Some of the courtiers who were good friends were whispering—

"Lord Jing is angry, the Emperor of Qi didn't give Miss Yan Si to him."

The celebration banquet in the Taiji Hall was quickly dispersed due to the departure of the national teacher.

After Empress Yan Ziran walked out of the Taiji Palace, she turned her head to Yan Jinxi and said:

"Fourth sister, it's getting late today, so I just stay in the palace of this palace for another night."

"Yes, Queen."

This Yan Ziran summoned her into the palace to solve the pregnancy of Concubine Ligong, but this matter has been solved, I really don't know what medicine she sells in her gourd, although she is reluctant in her heart, but she does not show half of it on her face.

The Fenghuan Hall at night is brightly lit, but the queen here is no longer Fu Yuyin, but Yan Ziran.

Sure enough, this Yan Ziran was relatively peaceful tonight, and she didn't look for her.

The night in Fenghuan Hall was extraordinarily long, and he could only sleep lightly, so it was difficult to ensure that Shen Luo or Yan Ziran would kill again.

"Miss Yan Si, the queen is invited." Outside the door, Yan Ziran's personal maid Hong'er's voice sounded.

"Okay, I see, let's come."

Yan Jinxi had no choice but to get up and go to the queen's residence, because it was not far away, she soon came to the outside of the queen's room, and was about to push the door in, but she heard Shen Luo's voice, the two were discussing something.

"Zi Ran, this Jing Yan Gong is so high that he can't stay, he is really presumptuous in the Taiji Hall today, and he doesn't take me seriously at all."

"However, Your Majesty, Jing Yan can only assassinate, not forcefully, otherwise the situation will be unstable."

"What the queen said is very true, Ziran, do you have any good plans?"

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this?"

“……”

This is really a poisonous plan, these two people actually want to kill Jing Yan in embarrassment.

Yan Jinxi quickly left this place calmly and returned to his room.

She was hesitating whether she should tell Jing Yan about Shen Luo and Yan Ziran's conspiracy.

has never been so hesitant, it stands to reason that she lived a new life, only for revenge, and Jing Yan's life and death have nothing to do with her......

This night, Yan Jinxi had insomnia.

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Jinxi left Fenghuan Palace, and in the early morning of the same day, she saw the national teacher Jing Yan, and when she saw him, Yan Jinxi only felt inexplicably relieved.

In the early morning of this day, the emperor ordered Jing Yan to suppress the bandits, thirty miles north of the capital of Chu, there was a bandit nest, called Qingyan Village, this gang of bandits often burned, killed and looted, all evil.

The people in this vicinity have been living in dire straits, and the imperial court has sent generals and officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits many times, but to no avail.

Yan Jinxi was stunned, Shen Luo's plan started so soon......

She couldn't help but sneak a glance at Jing Yan, who was still so calm and light.

After going down to the court, she walked alone on the way back to Yanfu, thinking about it.

Yan Jinxi remembered Shen Luo's words last night-

"I will send a hundred forbidden army masters to deal with him tomorrow, and Jing Yan will definitely die without a place to be buried."

After that, Yan Jinxi returned to the Ministry of Industry in a trance, ready to deal with affairs, but found that he didn't see anything in the end.

She thought about it, Jing Yan had saved her, she had the grace to save her life, her father had always taught her to repay her kindness in her previous life, but now that Jing Yan is in trouble, she can't stand by and watch it in her sense of reason.

After Yan Jinxi came to the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion as quickly as possible, he asked the Fuding: "Where is your National Teacher?" ”

"Miss Yan, the National Teacher has already led the men and horses to suppress the bandits half an hour ago."

"What?"

After all, she came too late, and Shen Luo's plan was half successful.

Yan Jinxi didn't think about it, and quickly marched towards the capital of Chu thirty miles to the north, where the bandits' stockade was called Qingyan Village.

At this time, he saw a white-robed general fighting on a black horse, and that person was Jing Yan.

Jing Yan's martial arts are really strong, the bandits can't help it, plus there are masters such as Yunyun, so the national teacher has always had the upper hand.

However, because the bandits are also very strong, when dealing with them, the national teacher's subordinates are gradually in a state of exhaustion.

At this time, Yan Jinxi noticed that after killing a team of soldiers and horses above Qingyan Village, the bandits still had so many reinforcements......

For a while, the team of the national division was a little overwhelmed, and Yan Jinxi rushed over on horseback to support Jing Yan.

"Why are you here?" After Jing Yan saw her, he was stunned.

"National teacher, withdraw quickly, this is a trap." Yan Jinxi shouted while dancing the long sword.

"It's okay, I'm prepared." Jing Yan is as calm and calm as ever.

……

At this time, more than 100 black-clothed people were killed in their rear, and these black-clothed people were all strong in martial arts, and Jing Yan and others were attacked by the enemy for a while.

One by one, the soldiers of Jing Yan's team fell, and the situation was very critical.

Yun led more than a few hundred men to support them, and the men in black and the bandits were quickly at a disadvantage, and in less than half an hour, they were all wiped out.

Jing Yan took off the face towel of one of the black-clothed men and said to himself: "More than 100 masters of the forbidden army, Shen Luo has really made a lot of money. ”

"This in itself is a trap, last night I overheard the plan made by the emperor and the queen, which is to let your army send a forbidden army master to eradicate you after the bandits are exhausted."

Who knew that Jing Yan's statement shocked Yan Jinxi: "I know their plan, the emperor has always wanted to kill me, and he has sent people to assassinate me many times, and even the queen of the previous dynasty has personally come to my mansion to assassinate me many times." ”

When Jing Yan talked about all this, he was still light and light, and there was no joy or anger on his handsome face.

When he mentioned the empress of the previous dynasty, Yan Jinxi's body reacted, but she pretended to be calm and tried her best not to show her flaws.

"It turns out that you already knew that it was a flaw for the emperor to send you here today to suppress bandits." Yan Jinxi asked rhetorically, "It seems that it's your eyeliner again." ”

National teacher Jing Yan: "Miss Yan is very smart. ”

This seems to be the first time that the national teacher Jing Yan has praised her, and even made her wonder if this was a mockery in disguise.

Then, Jing Yan and their men walked back, he looked at Yan Jinxi on the side, and asked with interest: "It seems that you still care about me, and you came to the rescue alone." ”

"I don't care about you, you saved me last time, I just repay you, why care?" Yan Jinxi asked almost without hesitation.

But soon she regretted it, did she care? If you don't care, why do you go to save him alone?

When Jing Yan heard this, his deep eyes became extremely dim in an instant, he didn't care, he just wanted to repay his kindness.

The two didn't say anything more, and soon arrived at the city gate of Chu State.

"National teacher, let's go our separate ways, I have to go back to Yan's Mansion."

"Oh, that's right, let's go together, I have something important to talk about with Prime Minister Yan."

Yan Jinxi: "......"

Why didn't this person talk about it early or late, and he had to go with her.
