Chapter 682: Making a Discordant Scheme
In the Happy Palace, the smoke and incense waited from noon to dusk, and she didn't wait for Chu Tiankuo to pick her up. She didn't know that Chu Tiankuo had entered the palace and was left in the palace.
She thought that the senior brother was staying in the Zhongyong Mansion to accompany Shui Mai, or she was looking for Xia Wenxuan. Thinking that the senior brother wanted Xia Wenxuan to live in Bixiang Villa, she felt a sourness. recalled the scene when he helped Xia Wenxuan on the street, and her jealousy burned.
It was night, and Yanxiang lay on the bed alone and couldn't fall asleep, until it was very late at night, and then he fell asleep.
The next day, Li Chourong saw the cigarette with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and he was distressed. She looked at Yanxiang and Chu Tiankuo like this, and secretly worried about them.
She pulled Yanxiang aside and whispered what happened to Yanxiang and Chu Tiankuo?
Smoke smiled awkwardly and couldn't answer.
Although Li Chourong is only the mother of cigarettes, she loves cigarettes like her own mother. She has lived a long time, she can see many things clearly, and deeply understand the truth that it is easy to fall in love and difficult to stay together. Moreover, in this world, many things are unchangeable.
She changed her method to persuade Yanxiang and asked her not to be angry with Chu Tiankuo. In her words, Chu Tiankuo is a good man, a very sought-after man. If you don't know how to cherish Yanxiang, you will lose your temper with him at every turn, which will only kill the relationship between the two and push him into the arms of other women.
However, Yanxiang didn't take the words of Master Li Chourong to heart, and just smiled indifferently. She didn't know how to cherish it, and she didn't mess around. She just didn't want him to mess with it.
To put it bluntly, she hopes that the senior brother will only love her, and she will only have her in her eyes. There was no room for a grain of sand in her eyes, and she knew it was difficult.
No, the master Li Chourong chattered again: "Yanxiang, if you love him, you should think about him." He is now the crown prince, and he will inherit the throne in the future, and it is inevitable that there will be three palaces and six courts, and it is impossible not to accept a concubine. If a single vein of water upsets you like this, what should you do in the future? ”
Hearing this, the smoke was originally indifferent, but his expression instantly became solemn. Yes, what Shi Niang said is not wrong, everyone understands such an obvious truth.
The eldest brother is the crown prince, and he will inherit the throne in the future, that is, he will sit on the world, and there are three thousand beauties in the harem. She had to face this reality and try to accept it.
However, he enjoyed the blessings of all people, but it was unbearable torture for her. She couldn't accept it, and she couldn't accept it.
However, if she wanted to give up on him, her heart was like a knife.
What the hell is she going to do? She sighed softly, when did she become so indecisive?
For three days in a row, Chu Tiankuo did not appear.
Unable to wait for him to come, Yanxiang stayed alone in the Kuaiwang Mansion and felt upset, so he slipped out of the palace and went to Dali Temple.
When you are in a bad mood, you go out to have fun, and most of what you find is new worries.
In Dali Temple, Shaoqing Yunbai of Dali Temple saw the arrival of cigarette incense, and smiled at first, but the smile quickly sank. His face was like a plaster mask, and he smiled so far-fetched.
Yan Xiang was slightly surprised, Lord Yun, what's wrong? Before she could ask, Master Yun opened her mouth first.
Yun Bai asked cautiously, "Yanxiang, have you heard any gossip recently?" ”
Gossip? Is it about the elder brother? Yanxiang's eyes darkened, and he asked softly, "Is it about my senior brother?" ”
"It's not. It's about you and the Oriental Headcatcher. ”
Yanxiang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "What's wrong with me and Brother Dongfang?" ”
Paper can't hold fire. Sooner or later, this matter will reach the ears of the smokers. Master Yun thinks that it is better to inform the cigarette as soon as possible.
It's just that it's a little awkward. His hand was clenched into a fist, put it to his mouth, and said in a low voice that could not be lowered: "Recently, the official mission of Dali Temple has spread the rumor that your relationship with Dongfang Toutou is not pure. They saw it with their own eyes, and you hugged and kissed him...... Kiss. ”
After Lord Yun finished speaking, his face turned red.
"What?" Yanxiang was a little excited, and he rolled his eyes, I don't know if he was angry or surprised, anyway, he was not ashamed.
She knew what Yun Da was talking about.
On that day, she didn't know what was wrong, as if she had fallen into an evil spirit, and did something inexplicable. Either she was so angry with her senior brother that she lost her mind, or she was determined to fulfill her senior brother and Shui Mai, in order to make herself have no way out, she actually took the initiative to kiss Dongfang Hong.
It's shocking to think of what she did that day, and even she can't believe it.
Afterwards, she actually regretted it. However, Dongfanghong did not take this matter to heart, and the senior brother did not hold on to it. And she gradually forgot about it.
For a long time, everyone's attention was on the case, and no one brought up the matter. Yanxiang also luckily thought that there were no witnesses at that time, and the matter passed like this. Na Cheng thought, after such a long time, someone suddenly mentioned it.
She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, what kind of mentality are these people chewing on the root of their tongues behind their backs. The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, she and Dongfang Hong are ambiguous, what happened? She's not stealing, who is in the way? These people have no grievances with her, why should they embarrass her so much?
Even the senior brother doesn't mind anymore, why should those people have trouble with her? Did she get in their way?
Yun Bai looked at Yanxiang's reaction, thinking that she had been wronged, thinking that it was those officials who spread rumors, and wondered: "Yanxiang, don't worry, it must be those people who made rumors out of nothing." Don't worry, it's on me. I will severely punish those who spread rumors. ”
Yanxiang was a little moved, but his attitude was very sincere, and he didn't admit himself: "Lord Yun, don't punish those people." They didn't spread rumors, and they did. ”
Master Yun bit his lip and asked in a low voice, "Why?" ”
There was a moment of stiffness on his face, and there was a hint of trance in his eyes when he looked at Yanxiang. His mouth was slightly wide open, and there was a look of secrecy on his face.
If his intuition is not wrong, the person he loves in Yanxiang's heart is Chu Tiankuo. How could she get involved with Dongfang Hong?
Master Yun had a good impression of Yanxiang, but seeing that she and Chu Tiankuo were like glue, he dispelled his desire to chase her. He admonished himself not to be cranky, not to touch what he could not get.
However, he couldn't stop himself, couldn't restrain himself from having a steady stream of crush on her. He didn't show that he liked her. However, his attitude towards her will always be different from others. He indulged in cigarettes, let her mess around, and was much more tolerant of her than others.
He couldn't help liking her and silently buried this love in his heart. When he heard the gossip of those officials arranging cigarette incense, his first reaction was to reprimand them. He couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.
At this moment, the smoke tells him that it is true. He couldn't accept it for a while.
Seeing Yanxiang and Chu Tiankuo together, Yun Bai felt that they were such a good match. But if it is replaced by cigarette incense and Dongfanghong, he feels a sense of disobedience.
If the object of Yanxiang's love is Dongfanghong, how can Yunbai have to fight.
At that moment, it was rumored that the smoke and Dongfanghong had intimate behavior, and he was really uncomfortable to listen to.
Yanxiang's voice gradually became low and crisp, with a hint of pleading: "Lord Yun, that matter has passed, I don't want to mention it again." ”
This matter is a fact, and she is the first to blame, and it is difficult for her to go to those people to ask for an explanation. And once this matter is publicized, her reputation will definitely be damaged, and it is wise not to mention this matter.
Lord Yun's face looked extremely strange, and he said half-loudly: "Does your senior brother know about this?" Does he expect Chu Tiankuo to know, or does he not want Chu Tiankuo to know? He didn't know. He just needs the cigarette to be fine.
Hearing the question asked by Lord Yun, Yanxiang felt a little funny. She had regained her composure and said nonchalantly, "What if I let my senior brother know?" I'm not afraid of him. ”
Isn't it? The senior brother himself is not clear about Xia Wenxuan, what qualifications do you have to ask her? He disappeared for three days without a trace, could it be that he was deliberately avoiding her?
She suddenly wished that Senior Brother would know about it. He is such a good-faced person, if this matter is publicized, he will definitely feel disgraced. Then, he is very likely to appear in front of her, glaring at her angrily, and scolding her for all her good deeds.
In that case, she can rightly confront him, and maybe the two of them will break up unhappily.
Well, in this case, she doesn't have to worry about it, just choose Dongfanghong.
Yun Bai shrugged his shoulders, and there was nothing he could do with her: "I will settle this matter for you, and it will not reach your senior brother's ears." ”
He likes the true temperament of Yanxiang, thinks that her words and deeds are very unique, and at the same time worries about her. If Chu Tiankuo knew about this, he would have a diaphragm in his heart.
Cigarettes didn't take it seriously. She and Dongfang Hong kissed in front of the senior brother, and the senior brother didn't know it. She is not afraid that the senior brother will be angry, and where will she be afraid of others chewing the root of their tongues.
Besides, Lord Yun promised to settle this matter, what else did she have to worry about. Lord Yun's official residence in Dali Temple Shaoqing is the second-in-command of Dali Temple, and those officials are under his control. As soon as he gave an order, those officials immediately kept their mouths shut.
When the crisis was lifted and Yanxiang's mood relaxed, she was not grateful to Lord Yun, but asked in a difficult way: "Lord Yun, why are you so good to me?" ”
A trace of flushing appeared on Lord Yun's face, as if he had been glimpsed into the privacy in his heart, and he was extremely uncomfortable. He swallowed deeply and smiled coyly at the cigarette.
Yanxiang felt a little embarrassed, but his mouth had his own consciousness: "You like me?" ”
"How is that possible?" Lord Yun immediately vetoed it, but his heart was pounding fast.
The smoke was extremely embarrassed, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, what she just said. Must be crazy! She hasn't seen her brother for the past few days, and she is absent-minded.
In order to ease the atmosphere, she quickly changed the topic: "Lord Yun, I want to see Shang Fang's sword again, can you bring it to me to see?" ”
Lord Yun hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing.
Regarding the fact that the officials of Dali Temple passed on the incense and Dongfanghong to have a personal affair, they were suppressed by Lord Yun and Lord Duan. But somehow, it still caused a storm in the city.
Dongfanghong knew about this, and was looking for cigarettes everywhere, and finally saw cigarettes in Dali Temple. He swore to Yanxiang that he would not let Yanxiang's reputation be ruined. If Yanxiang wants, he is willing to marry her.
Seeing Dongfang Hong coming in a hurry, Yanxiang realized the seriousness of the matter. I'm afraid it's not as simple as she imagined. For the first three days, she stayed in the Happy Palace, and she couldn't hear the rumors outside.
She couldn't help but wonder if the senior brother was so angry that he avoided it when he heard such gossip? It's no wonder that the senior brother is angry, it's true that she is too willful.
Now, this matter is well known, and she may not be able to marry Dongfanghong. If such a thing happens and she is with the senior brother, it will not only ruin her reputation, but also lose face along with the senior brother.
Originally, the emperor did not agree with her to be with the senior brother, and if such a thing happened again, the two of them would have no future.
It seems that God destined her to marry Dongfanghong.
In fact, Chu Tiankuo did know about it. He learned about it from his father.
In the past three days, he was forcibly left in the palace by his father for various reasons, and he couldn't get out.
Chu Tiankuo repeatedly insisted that he would not make concessions on the matter of marrying Yanxiang. He didn't want his father and son to fall apart, and he didn't want to disobey his father, so he spent a lot of effort to persuade his father to accept cigarettes.
The emperor tried every means to persuade the emperor's son Chu Tiankuo to give up cigarettes and persuade Chu Tiankuo not to be obsessed.
As a result, neither father nor son could say anything about each other, and they remained at a stalemate.
However, the emperor took it for granted, and after his painstaking persuasion, the emperor's son Chu Tiankuo's mind was shaken.
Finally, the Emperor said, "I have sent someone to investigate the details of the cigarettes. She was engaged to Lu Hao, not innocent, and openly pulled with Dongfang Hong in Dali Temple. She doesn't know the rules and is not worthy of marrying into the royal family. ”
He thought that the affair between the cigarette incense and Dongfang Hong would be the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Chu Tiankuo didn't have any overreaction, and replied very calmly: "Father, the ministers know all these things. The matter of cigarettes and Dongfanghong that his father said was purely a misunderstanding. At that time, Erchen was also present and witnessed everything with his own eyes, but the smoke and incense entered the sand, and Dongfanghong helped her blow the sand. ”
In a mocking tone, the Emperor said, "Oh? Is that really just that? If there is no such thing, why is it so popular? ”
Chu Tiankuo was speechless, and reacted immediately.
"Erchen understands, this is the masterpiece of his father! Father, Dongfang Hong is a friend of his son, how can you do this? ”
His son is not stupid. The emperor was slightly surprised, and did not admit or deny it.
Chu Tiankuo restrained his anger and tried his best to hide his emotions: "Father, why do you slander Yanxiang so much? Knowing that her sons love her, she wants to do everything possible to break us up? Could it be that the father and the queen turned against each other and concluded that the sons and the cigarettes would make the same mistakes in the future? Why did the father have to impose his misfortune on his sons? ”
"Rebel! You have come to disobey me for such a shameless woman. The emperor was so angry that his face was white and red, and he waved his hands, so angry that his eyebrows trembled. She doesn't keep the way of women and doesn't know shame. hooked up with Dongfanghong, and came to hook up with you again. I will never allow you to marry her! ”
"Isn't my father humiliating his sons when he says these words?" Chu Tiankuo's face turned red, his voice turned low to high, and he gradually roared: "If my father loves his son, he should try to accept her." The father and emperor dealt with the cigarettes like this, hurting the hearts of the sons. This is even more uncomfortable than directly slapping Erchen in the face. ”
The emperor's face was gloomy, and his heart was like a boat in the waves. He was helpless: "What's so good about her?" Is it worth your defense of her so much? ”
The retainers regarded her as their life. If her father is good to her, he is good to his son. If her father treats her badly, her sons will help her share the suffering. ”
The implication couldn't be more obvious. Chu Tiankuo's words emphasized the love for cigarettes. When his father did this, he was hurt not only by the incense, but also by the incense.
The emperor had no choice but to make concessions: "I will let people clarify this matter." It's because I'm not careful, I didn't take care of the emperor's feelings, it's my fault. ”
He was bent on dismantling the emperor's son Chu Tiankuo and Yanxiang, and he was a little anxious. If you do this, it will indeed make the emperor's Chu Tiankuo's face dull. One is his friend, the other is his younger sister, and it is rumored that such a scandal will have a bad impact.
Chu Tiankuo has always been magnanimous, and he can also understand the heart of his father and the emperor's son. He was grateful: "Thank you, father." ”
This matter ended with Chu Tiankuo's victory. It's just that he also knows that on the surface he is victorious, but in fact, his father has not relented.
I don't know what method my father will think of to break them up next. He is also worried that such gossip will deeply hurt the incense. He was in the palace, and his heart had already flown outside the palace to look for cigarettes.
Originally, he was calm about everything, but when he encountered something related to cigarettes, he was not calm.
Although the emperor forced him to stay in the palace, he was determined to go. If he wanted to leave, the palace couldn't trap him at all. He ignored his father's retention and the obstruction of the palace guards, and left the palace in a hurry.
The emperor saw that the emperor Chu Tiankuo cared so much about the incense, and became more and more uneasy. He had to change his strategy, no longer persuade the emperor, and turn the breakthrough to Yanxiang.
