Chapter 50 Introduction

The New Year has arrived, and the whole country is happy.

The servants of the Dongyang Wangfu not only bought supplies for the year-end celebration in the city, but also sang about the addition of Dongyang Wang's official entry into the knighthood in each store.

A few days ago, the Empress Dowager Feng personally entered the post of Prince Taiwei of Dongyang, and the officials of the court congratulated each other.

The king of Dongyang was unreserved, and after returning to the house, he set a date, and on the day when the plaque of the Taiwei Mansion was hung, he invited the bureaucrats of the same dynasty to the palace to celebrate.

This was the biggest happy event in Heijo years ago.

Officials above the fifth rank of Beijing officials received invitations and were allowed to bring their families to the banquet.

Those officials who surrendered to the king of Dongyang undoubtedly prepared generous gifts, and those who had some differences with the king of Dongyang were angry in their own mansions and ignored the invitations sent.

Feng Taishi is like this, his power is on par with the King of Dongyang, and today's court is just like the Prime Minister Yihun and the Empress Dowager Feng.

It's just that Yi Hun didn't take the Empress Dowager Feng in his eyes on the face back then, and although the two of them were amiable on the surface, they were also peaceful and harmonious in front of the Empress Dowager Feng, but the two often competed in private.

On the day of the banquet, Taishi Feng was still sitting in his house and did not move.

Feng Yueyan came to his father and said to Master Feng, "Isn't my father ready to go?" The Empress Dowager and the Emperor will go to the Taiwei Mansion to celebrate, doesn't my father even want to give the Empress Dowager's face? ”

Feng Taishi just glanced at Feng Yueyan, indifferent, and continued to look at the book in his hand.

Feng Yueyan said proudly, "Father, don't let the Empress Dowager guess why you don't go. Feng Yueyan chuckled, "What is the position of the prince of Dongyang, his daughter is about to become the queen, and our Feng family will still be afraid of him?" ”

Master Feng put down the book in his hand and sighed lightly.

Feng Yueyan smiled, "The daughter knows that her father will not ignore the big things for the sake of a little awkwardness between him and the King of Dongyang on weekdays." ”

In Youyu Village, Cheng You knocked on Bai Rui's study and handed him a letter.

Bai Rui had already guessed who was coming from the letter when he saw the cover of the letter, and he hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, he wanted him to go back to the country to pass this New Year's pass.

Bai Rui was stunned in the study, at this moment he didn't want to go back to his homeland to see her, he didn't want to leave her again.

He still remembers that back then, when Hu'er needed him the most, he was under a holy decree and had no choice but to go back, and when he returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was already a few years later, and his Hu'er had left him.

But now is he going back again?

Cheng You saw Bai Rui's mood and whispered beside him, "Master Hou, this return to the dynasty is just to go back for the New Year, and it is not too late for Master Hou to come back after the New Year." ”

Isn't it late? It was a few years to go back and what it would be like in a few years. And how long will it be to go back this time, and will his emperor let him go out again?

Bai Rui was not sure.

Outside the door, Yi'er returned with a salute, "Master Hou, Miss Nangong is here." ”

What is Nangong Ni doing at this time? Wasn't she invited to the banquet by the Dongyang Palace?

Bai Rui looked at Cheng You, Cheng You immediately understood Bai Rui's expression, and said to the door, "Let her in." ”

Nangong Ni walked in and curtsied to Bai Rui.

"Something?" Bai Rui said coldly.

Nangong Ni already felt that Hou Ye's expression was not good, as long as Hou Ye had something on his mind, it would be so dull, and the same was true for her.

But even if Bai Rui treats her like this, she will not have resentment in her heart, and she is still very attentive to Bai Rui, which is a habit she has formed over the years. As long as he is good, it is okay for her to be wronged, she just wants him to be happy.

However, I came to see Hou Ye at this moment, not to understand why Hou Ye was in a bad mood, but to report what she had learned.

"The envoys of the Qiuzi Kingdom came to the Northern Wei Dynasty to offer offerings, and Ni saw the Guangling King Tuoba Yu in the Yuelou today to feast him in the wing room." Nangong Ni said respectfully.

Bai Rui glanced at her and said in a slow tone, "What's this, every year the Chuzi Kingdom will come to the envoys." ”

Nangong Ni frowned and said, "The problem is that Tuoba Yu went out of the wing room and went to another box halfway, and the guest in that box was Feng Dan, the son of Feng Taishi, Feng Dan took a woman to wait there, and then Tuoba Yu brought that woman into the box of the envoy of the Chuzi Kingdom. ”

Bai Rui glanced at Nangong Ni, and in fact, he probably understood what Nangong Ni meant by these words.

Cheng You followed Nangong Ni's words, "Isn't it just to send a woman to the envoy, what's this?" ”

Nangong Ni chuckled and said, "But this woman's eyes have never been seen before." ”

Bai Rui and Cheng You couldn't help but look at Nangong Ni at the same time.

Nangong Ni looked at Bai Rui and said, "Master Hou still remembers that at the Chrysanthemum Festival held in the Hongyan Tower in Yangcheng, the Oiran Dancing Girl, Ni is very sure that it is her." ”

When it comes to that dancing girl, Bai Rui already knows it.

After the Chrysanthemum Festival in Yangcheng, Bai Rui asked Cheng You to secretly check all the subordinates placed by Tuoba Xiang, the king of the North Sea, in Yangcheng. After the banquet, Cheng You saw the dancing girl in the dark night and had a private meeting with the king of the North Sea, only to learn that the dancing girl was the person of the king of the North Sea.

Later, under Cheng You's thorough investigation, he learned that the dancing girl was a subordinate of the King of Beihai, named Qingyan.

It is the killer raised by the King of the North Sea in the shadows.

After Cheng You spoke in Nangong, he said, "You are talking about Qingyan, a subordinate of the King of the North Sea. ”

Nangong Ni smiled indifferently, "Yes, Qingyan is the person of the King of the North Sea, but Feng Dan actually took her to meet the envoys of the Qiuzi Kingdom. ”

Bai Rui said coldly, "You mean that the King of the North Sea and Feng Dan are very close, and even his killer is used by Feng Dan." ”

Nangong Ni nodded, "That's what Ni saw." ”

Cheng You looked at Bai Rui and said with some doubts in his heart, "What if Feng Dan doesn't know that Qingyan is the king of the North Sea?" ”

Bai Rui was indifferent, "Then Qingyan approached Feng Dan and made Feng Dan trust her, this may be what the King of Beihai wants to know from Feng Dan, so Qingyan is the eyeliner of the King of Beihai." ”

Cheng You touched his chin with his right hand, pondered, and wondered, "So what did the King of the North Sea want to know from Feng Dan to let his people approach Feng Dan?" ”

At this time, Nangong Ni, who was silent, looked at Bai Rui again and said, "Ni has received news, many years ago, the Empress Dowager Feng let her brother Feng Xi secretly check Cui Boyuan's whereabouts, and Cui Boyuan is a disciple of Kou Guoshi, Ni guesses, is all this related to "Yunzhongyin"? ”

Nangong Ni paid attention to the change in Bai Rui's expression as he spoke, and Bai Rui's face changed unexpectedly.

Cheng You also looked at Bai Rui quietly, because when it came to Cui Boyuan, it was Master Hou's master back then.

Bai Rui frowned, but it was only for a moment, and then he smiled again, pretending to be curious, "You may be thinking too much." ”

Nangong Ni never thought that Hou Ye didn't believe her, and was a little surprised, "Does Hou Ye think that what Hou Ye said is wrong?" Hou Ye can understand what he is doing in the Northern Wei Dynasty this time, the emperor's will, to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of "Yunzhongyin", and the whereabouts of your master Cui Boyuan. ”

Bai Rui had already lowered his brows, his eyes were dark, and he said coldly, "I understand very well, I don't need you to remind me." ”

His fierce look made Nangong Ni's heart suddenly cold, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Since Master Hou knows, why did he come to Wei these days, he was revolving around that sophomore high school lady." ”

"It's because the sophomore lady is very much like the woman Hou Ye likes, so Hou Ye's heart flew away."

Cheng You was stupid by Nangong Ni's two words.

And Bai Rui walked up to Nangong Ni quickly, slapped her, and said angrily, "You are presumptuous! ”

Nangong Ni was beaten to the side, and then slowly came back to her senses and looked at Bai Rui, with tears in her eyes, touching her beaten face, aggrieved and sad.

Bai Rui's hands were shaking after hitting her, this was the first time she had hit her, because she had lifted her slur.

The corners of Nangong Ni's mouth overflowed with blood, and her sad eyes kept staring at Bai Rui.

Bai Rui's heart ached a little, and he reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, but Nangong Ni turned her head and refused to let it, and then she glared at him in a daze, crying, "Master Hou, you don't love Ni anymore, because that woman-"

With that, she ran out.

Bai Rui froze in place.

On this day, there was a big banquet in the Taiwei Mansion, and Nangong Ni did not go, so he asked the Taiwei Mansion to resign, saying that he was not feeling well.

Bai Rui was drinking alone in Youyu Village, he didn't know if he should return to Qi at this time, but the emperor had already sent a secret decree, could he not go back?

In his sorrow, he thought of Hu'er again, and thought of that year, in the bamboo forest of Qingchang Temple.

Huan'er was full of hatred for him, hating why he provoked her senior sister Da Xilan, so that Da Xilan belonged to him.

He explained it to her, but she didn't listen.

He told her that the only person he loved in his heart was her, and he didn't think anything wrong about Da Xilan, but she just didn't believe it.

She told him, since you don't like your sister, why did you drink with your sister alone, stay with your sister for one night, and let her see it, why is this?

He told her that because Da Xilan was in a bad mood, she seemed to have something awkward with Da Xixiao and was upset, so she asked him to drink, and he just accompanied Da Xilan for a while, and there was nothing.

She didn't believe it, because she saw Da Xilan resting her head on his shoulder, and he didn't refuse.

It's what she saw with her own eyes, and she believes what she sees.

He was misunderstood by her, he was going crazy, but she just didn't believe it.

Bai Rui regretted it very much, regretting that he shouldn't have pitied Da Xilan that day and made Ju'er unhappy.

He didn't expect that because of that night's wine, Da Xilan had a love for him.

When he heard it, Ju'er confronted Da Xilan in person, and Da Xilan did admit that she liked herself.

His head was in a mess, and that wasn't what he wanted to see.

They are sisters, and they shouldn't fall out because of him.

He rushed out and told Da Xilan that he didn't like her, and the only person he liked from beginning to end was Hu'er.

But Da Xilan questioned him, why did he give a gift to Hu'er, she also had the same, why every time she took Hu'er out to play, she would also bring her, why-

He screamed, no, it's not like that!

Because you're a sister of Zhu'er, you just treat you as if you're a relative of Zhu'er, and nothing else.

Da Xilan didn't believe it, and he didn't believe it at all.

She said to him viciously, "I Da Xilan hates you, hates you!" ”

Hu'er slapped him, and angrily returned to Pingcheng from the Valley of the Hidden Forest alone, to her father's side.

The young man chased him to Pingcheng and came to Yifu, trying his best to see her, but she just didn't see her.

It was a painful time, and Bai Rui couldn't forget it.

Huan'er misunderstood him very deeply back then, so deep that he gave a outside the B Mansion in the middle of the night, and she didn't come out to see him.

He had to ask someone to send her a letter, telling her that he was waiting for her at Qingchang Temple, and if he didn't come, he would keep waiting.

After a whole day of waiting, she came, looking at him with tears on her face.

Bai Rui chuckled, took the wine jug, and drank drunkly. The figure of Huan'er seems to be in front of her, and those pains are still in my heart.

On the night outside the B Mansion, he wanted to tell her that he would never marry anyone except her in this life.
