Chapter 73 There are rumors in the capital, and Baolu is worried about seeing Concubine Shu

Baolu, who lives comfortably in the capital, has also heard that the war in the frontier is quite fierce during this time.

I didn't hear about it from Han San's mouth, because since the last time a quarrel broke out because of Concubine Shu, Han San had never returned to the mansion he had placed for Baolu in this alley, which had become Concubine Shu's other home outside the palace.

Hearing the rumors of the Yanbao War is that there are discussions everywhere in the capital, I don't know if it is due to someone or General Xiao's behavior is too provocative, anyway, it is rumored that his eldest son led the troops to arrest the younger son who was fighting bravely against the enemy.

Some people say that Xiao Junjie is jealous of Xiao Junkun, if this war ends and returns to the dynasty victoriously, Xiao Junjie's road to inherit his father's position may not be so smooth, in order to prevent Xiao Junkun from making war exploits in front of the emperor and his father to earn a future in his way, so he used his power to extinguish this possibility.

Others say that this is what General Xiao meant.

The meaning behind this move is a bit apprehensive.

Everyone knows that now all the military power of the banner country is in the hands of this Zhenguo general, and he may be so ruthless to his own son because Xiao Junkun is a well-known imperial party, one is a general who holds power and refuses to let go, and the other is an emperor who wants to take back the military power, Xiao Junkun is just a victim of the struggle between the two bigwigs.

But such a blatant approach, and at the current moment of the great enemy, I have to say that both sides have already disregarded the politeness on the face, and it seems that they are preparing to have a battle on the table.

As far as ordinary people are concerned, in fact, it doesn't make much difference who holds this kind of thing in their hands, all they want is a stable life, if the two giants of Daqi break out in internal strife, they will definitely not be able to avoid the smoke of gunpowder, and it is impossible to avoid it, because the battlefield will be carried out on the land where they have lived since childhood.

Therefore, many people prefer to believe that the second guess above comes from the speculation of the storyteller, and it is just a lie deliberately made up for the prosperity of the teahouse, which will not be the truth.

Bao Lu also echoed when he was entertaining in the teahouse, feeling that General Xiao, as a loyal and loyal martyr who protected the country, could not have the ambition of the wolf to covet the position of the emperor, otherwise there was no need to desperately support the emperor to ascend the throne many years ago. Now that he is old and his power and honor have reached the peak, there is no need to gamble with everything he has.

Isn't that the old birthday boy eating arsenic - looking for death?

Although after Su Xiang's incident, Baolu's impression of this 'long-known general' General Xiao was negative, but he always hoped in his heart that this vicious court boss had not fainted so far, and his own son could also be used as a stepping stone to sacrifice at will.

Because she still remembered that Hu Yidao followed Xiao Junkun to the frontier, if Xiao Junkun couldn't keep it, then Hu Yidao would probably not be able to escape death.

The indulgence that he once used to show tolerance to himself is remembered in his heart. Even if there is no love between men and women, it is inevitable that he will be worried about his safety, for fear that he will be affected by this unjustified disaster.

After listening to the gossip and the 'voice of the people' for a long time, Bao Lu, who felt bored, slowly returned to the house, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard the porter boy say that Concubine Shu came over today, and she hurriedly stuffed some of the 'state affairs arguments' written by Sour Xiucai bought on the road into the hands of the concierge, which wrote that the emperor was not singing praises, and a large part of the remarks were blaming Han San for forcing General Xiao too tightly to trigger this battle of infighting, so he couldn't take it in, in case Concubine Shu saw him go back to the palace and said something, Bao Lu was afraid of being burned.

"Emerald Green."

I haven't seen her for a long time, and Concubine Shu's demeanor is even more dignified and virtuous, and she really deserves the title given to her by Han San at the beginning.

"Knock on the lady."

Bao Lu saw that there was an outsider in the house, and quickly swallowed the title of 'tansy' on his lips, and gave Concubine Shu a kneeling salute in a proper manner.

"Hurry up, there are no outsiders here, why are you putting on these false courtesies?"

Concubine Shu stood up directly from the chair and walked over, personally helped Bao Lu up, and blamed Bao Lu for being a little out of sight.

Bao Lu, who stood up straight, dared to look up at the strange beauty sitting on the chair on the other side when he heard this, and he was also a noble person when he looked at the costumes, I don't know if Concubine Shu is not an outsider, so who is she?

"This is an noble man in the palace, and he is also the sister who serves by the emperor's side. I don't know anyone in the palace, but she is close to me, so this time I got the grace of the Queen Mother to go out of the palace to play, and I specially brought her to meet you. ”

Concubine Shu affectionately took Baolu's arm and pulled her forward to introduce the two.

"I heard my sister often talk about the sisters outside the palace, and I think you are the treasure green, and you are really beautiful and lovely. It's a pity that I came over in a hurry today and didn't bring any gifts, if my sister doesn't dislike this bracelet, I'll give you a meeting gift! ”

While speaking, the An Guiren took Bao Lu's hand and praised him, and took off the jade bracelet on his wrist and put it in Bao Lu's arms.

As the so-called 'no merit is not a blessing', Bao Lu is very resistant to receiving such a valuable gift as a meeting gift, besides, the first time they meet is not very familiar, the title of sister and sister is really unbearable, and they can't climb such a high branch with a grass people.

After refusing for a long time, Concubine Shu still couldn't look at it, so she took it directly and put it on Baolu's hand, and said:

"It's not a valuable thing, if Baolu pushes it again, it will be a little raw!"

"What my sister said is, isn't it that Sister Baolu doesn't dislike things and look down on them, so I have to buy a big gift to recognize me as a sister?"

An Guiren next to him also saw the pole climbing, enthusiastically playing haha and Baolu set of relationships.

Baolu, who felt embarrassed, actually didn't understand a little, she knew what her identity was, and Concubine Shu's behavior today was a bit like acting, and she deliberately brought this An Guiren over to meet her, did she have any other intentions?

Thinking about it like this, Baolu could only bear it a little reluctantly.

She knew that Concubine Shu's life in the palace was not going well, no matter what purpose she did it, she just had to cooperate with her, and when the time came, when the two sisters were alone, she would ask if there was anything she needed to contribute, so she could know in detail.

It's a pity that I haven't had the opportunity to be alone with Concubine Shu today, and I was dragged by An Guiren to have a meal with three people, and there was no distinction between noble and humble identities at the banquet, and they were commensurate with each other as sisters.

Later, she excused herself to be a little uncomfortable with her alcohol, and seeing that it was getting late, Concubine Shu, who didn't dare to let her stay outside the palace, could only call someone to help her get into the carriage and say goodbye to Baolu with her.

Bao Lu stood at the door and watched the luxurious carriage of the two of them drive towards the palace gate, rubbing the jade bracelet on his hand, and was silent to Lilac who came to inquire secretly.
