In the afternoon, the team of the Northern Desert Mission slowly entered Yicheng, and this time the person in charge of receiving things was Qian Chengjing.

Previously, the southern Xinjiang mission was in charge of Qian Chengyue, but this time it was in charge of Qian Chengjing, on the surface, Dongyue's attitude towards the two countries was the same, and they all sent the prince to receive him personally. However, a discerning person can see that Dongyue is more interested in the Northern Desert, after all, Qian Chengjing is Qian Chengjue's cronies, and Qian Chengyue is their leader.

Lu Qianmo and Bai Ziyan sat on the second floor of the Bai family's restaurant to watch the greeting, the street was already surrounded by the people, and the powerful people had already booked seats in the teahouses, taverns, and even restaurants along the street.

It is rumored that Yu Wenchun, the third prince of the Northern Desert, is a person who likes the culture of the Central Plains, and he does not have the heroic and rough spirit of the Northern Desert people at all, and he is also indisputable with the world on weekdays, I don't know why the Northern Desert Emperor would send such a person to envoy Dongyue.

As for Yu Wenxiang, it is said that she is the favorite princess of the Northern Desert Emperor, and the intention of the Northern Desert Emperor to send her to Dongyue is self-evident, and even she will become a victim of politics, which shows that the royal family has no family affection This sentence is true.

Lu Qianmo sat by the window and observed everything on the street, but unexpectedly, a familiar figure appeared in the teahouse opposite, and it was obvious that the other party had also noticed her.

Lu Qianmo frowned slightly, would it be too bold for Yu Wenhan to appear like this.

The other party saw Lu Qianmo's concern, and whispered to her, "It's okay." ”

Lu Qianmo bowed slightly, then withdrew her gaze, only to find that Wu Lanying had gone up to the teahouse with a man, and then sat down near them. Come to think of it, the other person is Wu Sanqi, the king of Southern Qi.

The two looked at each other for a glance and said hello, and then withdrew their gaze as if nothing had happened.

"Do you know the princess of Southern Xinjiang?" Bai Ziyan noticed Lu Qianmo and Wu Lanying's eyes, and then asked.

"There is a relationship." Lu Qianmo summed it up in one sentence.

"They have been in Dongyue for a short time, but they don't see the emperor have any deal with them, and now that the mission from the Northern Desert has also arrived, their chances are even smaller." Bai Ziyan said.

Although the Bai family is in business, they can master such a large business network, and they must have some power in the courts of various countries, but they are all extremely low-key and do not interact with each other on weekdays, but it is difficult to say in secret. Bai Ziyan can say this with certainty, which confirms this point even more.

"I don't think Qian Chengjue takes southern Xinjiang to heart."

Bai Ziyan shook his head slightly and said, "Actually, it's not. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Lu Qianmo asked.

Bai Ziyan poured himself a cup of tea, and then said softly: "It is said that the emperor originally intended to be friendly with Southern Xinjiang, but for some reason, Concubine Wu Guifei was very disgusted with Southern Xinjiang, and she continued to add fuel and vinegar in front of the emperor from the beginning, and finally gradually gave up Southern Xinjiang. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qianmo's eyes lit up, and her intuition told her that Concubine Wu was not simple, and she didn't know what the purpose of meeting her was at that time. "Qian Chengjue can give up southern Xinjiang because of Wu Guifei's words, which shows Wu Guifei's status in his heart."

"It's nothing new, but it's a bit of a surprise." Bai Ziyan said in no surprise.

The street suddenly became lively, and the two of them looked and saw that the team of the Northern Desert Mission had already entered the city.

The team of the Northern Desert Mission was about twenty people, Yu Wenchun had already gotten off the car and rode outside the city gate, and today he was wearing a lake blue winter coat and a white and blue cloak on the outside. Qian Chengjing rode a horse to his side, while Yu Wenxiang was still sitting in the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage tightly blocked everyone's sight.

Yu Wenchun and Yu Wenhan are really different, Lu Qianmo commented in his heart. Such a man who has no quarrel with the world, but fate made people born in the royal family.

looked at the other side again, but there was no trace of Yu Wenhan. What is he coming to Dongyue for?

"What is the intention of the Northern Desert Emperor to send such a person as an envoy?" Bai Ziyan asked.

Lu Qianmo thought of Yu Wenhan and muttered, "I'm afraid that Yu Wenchun is just a disguise." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Bai Ziyan was curious.

Lu Qianmo realized that he had said the wrong thing, and the less people knew about Yu Wenhan's affairs in Dongyue, the better. "It's just speculation. Or maybe Yu Wenchun, although he has no quarrel with the world, he is not useless. The Northern Desert Emperor always knows his son better than us. ”

"That's right, Yuwen Tianba is ambitious and calculating, and it is impossible to do useless work all the way."

Fortunately, Yu Wenhan's appearance had no effect on Bai Ziyan, otherwise Lu Qianmo didn't know how to deal with it, and whether to tell him or not.

The team of the Northern Desert Mission walked downstairs from them, and a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky, and the curtain of the car was blown up by the strong wind, and Lu Qianmo saw Yuwenxiang in the car. It's just this look...... Alas, Lu Qianmo sighed slightly, and never said anything.

After the excitement, Lu Qianmo said goodbye to Bai Ziyan, and then returned to the Governor's Mansion. The housekeeper told her that Zhixi, Ye Qiao and Shen Ling had gone out of the city to Cangmeng Mountain together, and would come back tomorrow.

"I see. What about Mo Jie? Lu Qianmo said expressionlessly.

"It wasn't long after I went out." The butler replied.

"When he comes back, let him come to me." Lu Qianmo commanded.

"Yes."

……

The palace banquet was held on time in the Dongyue Palace.

The three princes and princesses of the Northern Desert, Qian Chengyue, Qian Chengjing, and ministers with status in the court all brought their families to participate, and the Yunbo Marquis Mansion was seriously injured because of Yun Houye, Yun Lao Hou Ye was old, and the prince was imprisoned, and the final representative of the person attending was Yun Su.

In this move, Qian Chengjue intended to express to everyone that although Yun Moxi was the black hand who assassinated the Southern Xinjiang Mission, it was only his personal behavior and would not affect the status of Yun Bohou's Mansion. If the matter is verified, Yun Moxi is guilty, and the others recognize the position of successor to the throne.

Qian Chengyue saw Yunsu and walked over. "Is it ill? Why is the face so ugly? ”

Yunsu shook his head, "It's okay, I just didn't sleep well." Yun Su felt bitter in his heart, since he bumped into Yun Jinlan and Yun Chong that day, he had never been in a good mood.

Originally, he was anxious to go to Old Marquis Yun to expose the two, but when he was halfway there, he hesitated. If he told Old Marquis Yun about this, then Yun Jinlan and Yun Chong would be finished. When he hesitated, Yun Jinlan chased after him, pleading and repenting in front of him, and he finally relented. However, when he thought of the situation of Yun Moxi and Yun Houye, he regretted it very much, and he agreed to the two of them. In the past two days, he couldn't sleep at night, and his health was getting worse and worse.

"What? Got something on your mind? Qian Chengyue asked.

"I'm a little worried about my father."

Qian Chengyue patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear: "You don't have to worry about this matter, Mo Xi will be fine, the little uncle's body will recover soon after being watched by Doctor Hao." ”

Yun Su bowed his head.

Qian Chengyue looked at the hour and said, "It's time for the dinner party to start, let's talk about it afterwards." ”

"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived, and Concubine Wu has arrived." Outside the courtyard came the hoarse voice of the eunuch.

Everyone present stopped what they were doing, waited for the three of them to come in, and saluted: "See the emperor, the queen's mother, and Wu Guifei." ”

Qian Chengjue led the two concubines to sit down on the main seat, and then said to everyone: "Flat." ”

"Your Majesty."

At this time, Yu Wenchun should have taken Yu Wenxiang forward to salute, but his eyes had been following Wu Na'er beside him since Qian Chengjue came in.

Yu Wenchun's hand was hidden in his sleeve and trembled slightly, and he looked at Wu Na'er with blazing eyes. It's her, it's really her. Even if he hadn't seen her for ten years, even if he met in a hurry that year, he could still recognize her at a glance. It's just why is she in Dongyue? Become a chaise?

Yu Wenxiang saw that Yu Wenchun's expression was abnormal, and reminded him softly in his ear. "Third Brother ......"

Yu Wenchun came back to his senses and realized that he was facing Emperor Dongyue and the ministers of the court in Dongyue at the moment, and if his distraction was looked at by someone with a heart, he was afraid that it would affect her.

After settling his mind and hiding the emotions in his eyes, Yu Wenchun calmly stepped forward and saluted, "The envoys of the Northern Desert have seen Emperor Dongyue. ”

Although Yu Wenchun couldn't see any emotions at this moment, he still showed some people the abnormality. One of them is Qian Chengjue.

"The three princes and princesses don't have to be polite."

"Emperor Xie Dongyue." Yu Wenchun and Yu Wenxiang said in unison.

Qian Chengjue glanced at Wu Na'er, saw that she was no different from usual, and then glanced at Yu Wenchun, and did not see anything abnormal, and then asked casually: "The third prince seems to recognize my beloved concubine?" ”

Yuwen Xiang was shocked, Emperor Dongyue still saw what happened just now, so it's better not to cause trouble.

Yu Wenchun's face still did not change, and he replied without hurry: "Concubine Wu does have some similarities with an old man, so I was a little surprised. ”

"Oh?" Qian Chengjue was curious, and then said to Wu Na'er: "Does Concubine Ai know the third prince?" ”

Wu Na'er shook her head, then smiled flatteringly at Qian Chengjue, and said, "What did the emperor say, how could Na'er recognize the third prince, Na'er has never been to the Northern Desert." Then he asked Yu Wenchun: "I heard that the three princes live in a simple place and have no quarrel with the world, so they must have never been out of the Northern Desert, right?" ”

"Concubine Wu is right, this prince has never left the Northern Desert before this." Yu Wenchun replied.

"That's it, so how can Na'er know the third prince?" Wu Na'er said to Qian Chengjue.

Qian Chengjue didn't want to continue the discussion, but the queen suddenly spoke, "Could it be that my sister has a bad memory and forgot about it?" The palace looked at the third prince and looked at his sister's expression, but it didn't seem like he was wrong. ”

"What do you mean by this? Is it possible to say that Na'er lied? Wu Na'er asked.

"My sister misunderstood, this palace thinks that my sister has been in the palace for many years, and she may have forgotten the past, so kindly remind me, maybe I can achieve a reunion of lost friends." The queen said the word friend very seriously, and everyone heard that she had something to say.

Qian Chengjue narrowed his eyes and did not speak, waiting for Wu Na'er's answer.

"Your Majesty, even if Na'er has the past before entering the palace, forget it, why should my sister mention it again, let alone make something out of nothing." Wu Na'er dared to speak like this, which shows that her status in the harem is not lower than that of the queen.

When Qian Chengjue heard this, he smiled dotingly: "Concubine Ai is right." ”

Hearing this, the queen didn't dare to say more.

"This prince has something to say." Yu Wenchun spoke again.

Qian Chengjue looked at Yu Wenchun curiously and said, "Third prince, please speak." ”

"This matter was caused by this prince, although Emperor Dongyue was benevolent and didn't care about this matter, but it inevitably caused some people to speculate at will, and this prince thought it was better to explain the matter clearly in front of everyone."

Everyone was silent, waiting for Yu Wenchun to say.

"Concubine Wu is indeed a bit like an old man of this prince, but she is not that person, because this old man died of illness ten years ago." Saying this, Yu Wenchun's eyes were overshadowed, and his face was sad.

"The third prince, please mourn." Qian Chengjue comforted, and then said to everyone: "Since the third prince has made things clear, don't speculate at will, otherwise you will be severely punished." ”

"Your Ministers obey."

The corners of the queen's eyes jumped, her palms clenched, and Qian Chengjue's words were obviously for her. The prime minister below shook his head slightly at her and asked her to endure the matter.

The corners of Wu Na'er's eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. glanced at Yu Wenchun imperceptibly, and said in his heart: "Does this person really know me?" But she didn't have any memory of Yu Wenchun.
