Chapter 137: A Chance Encounter
Wang Yuwen Canglan of Weizhou was escorted back to Ximan by the Department of Criminal Affairs, and his departure put the mining matter of Tianzhu Mountain on hold for the time being, and Ximan needed to rearrange the candidates.
Under the joint recommendation of many courtiers, Yuwen Zongheng, the son of heaven, handed over this errand to the king of Xiangzhou, the fifth prince Yuwenting.
In a gorgeous hall of the Xiban Palace, Empress Feng sat on a throne studded with pearls, her eyes full of maternal warmth.
Standing in front of her was the young and handsome prince Yu Wenting.
Yu Wenting was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, and he was heroic.
Empress Feng's tone was gentle, "Ting'er, you are going to Da Chu, in order to let you get this errand, it has taken a lot of effort for your mother." ”
Yu Wenting bowed and saluted, looking at his mother firmly, "Queen Mother, please rest assured, Erchen will definitely live up to his mission when he goes to Dachu." ”
Empress Feng smiled, "I know that it's good to do my best." When you get to Da Chu, you have to be careful in everything, do more, and say less, although you are a prince, you have to worship those who should be worshipped, don't be as pampered as Yuwen Canglan. ”
Yu Wenting lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, "Queen Mother, you can rest assured that your sons will remember your teachings and will not repeat the mistakes of your eldest brother." ”
Empress Feng bowed slightly, "When you go over there, remember not to covet women, and at the same time, you must also pay attention to maintaining the majesty of our Western Barbarians." ”
"Yes, Erchen will keep it in mind." Yu Wenting replied.
Empress Feng stared at Yu Wenting, her tone was slightly solemn,
"Ting'er, in fact, my Ximan's iron ore has been depleted, your father attaches great importance to the iron ore of Da Chu, whoever can be responsible for the iron ore mining of Da Chu may become the crown prince."
When Yu Wenting heard the news, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled,
"Queen Mother, Erchen understands that after arriving in Dachu, I will do my best to manage the affairs of mining and ensure the smooth progress of iron ore mining in Dachu."
Empress Feng bowed slightly, "Well, not only that, but the important thing is that you avoid being enemies with Liu Lingfeng and Mo Zhenshan. ”
"There may be a war with Tianluo Kingdom in the future, and Great Chu is the rear of the Western Barbarians, and it is our logistical supply support. Only with the support of Da Chu can you sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince, control the Western Barbarians, and then get the world. ”
Yu Wenting bowed solemnly again, "Please rest assured, the queen mother will keep it in mind."
"I understand the expectations and trust of the Queen Mother, and my son will do his best and will not do anything to disappoint you."
Empress Feng's expression was soothing, "Ting'er, for your mother, I believe in your ability and talent, and you are by no means Yuwen Canglan and the like. ”
"I wonder what my father will do with my eldest brother?" Yu Wenting asked cautiously.
Empress Feng thought coldly, "He dared to assassinate the big ***, although your father will not kill him, but he will also be imprisoned from now on and will never be used again." ”
Xu Jinrou's production date is getting closer and closer, and there are still about two months, but in fact, there is less than a month.
Liu Rentu also began to be cautious with her, handling it with care like porcelain, and did not dare to be rude to her.
Worried that any careless move could cause a mistake for the child in her womb.
At this critical moment, Xu Jinrou never entered the palace, and she needed more security and protection to ensure the safety of her child.
But it was really boring in the Zhongyi Mansion all day long, and that afternoon, Xu Jinrou decided to go out of the mansion for a walk.
Today's Xu Jinrou is wearing a pale yellow long skirt and a bulging abdomen, which does not affect her to make people feel gentle as water.
The tassel bun is simply held on the head, and a few hostas are decorated at will, looking from a distance, like the woman walking out of the painting.
Xu Jinrou smiled and summoned Fang Ruo and Qingluan to accompany her to Mirror Lake for a walk.
Now it is almost late autumn, and on the shore of Mirror Lake, yellow leaves are falling, covering the path by the lake, like a golden ribbon, welcoming their arrival.
In the lake, the surrounding scenery is reflected, like a three-dimensional picture, the mountains in the distance loom on the water surface, the layers of forests are dyed, and the green and flowing gold.
Fangruo and Qingluan accompanied Xu Jinrou, admiring the lake and mountains.
As they walked, they whispered about the scenery in the lake.
By the lake, several egrets are looking for food, their light steps and vigorous posture complement the tranquil autumn colors.
"Master, look at the lotus leaf over there," Fang Ruo pointed to a remnant lotus in the lake, "although the lotus leaf is withered and yellow, it still looks beautiful." ”
Xu Jinrou bowed slightly, her eyes were full of appreciation:
"This is the rhyme of autumn colors, although all things are withering, but every place must show its last beauty before it fades."
The three of them walked along the shore of Mirror Lake, enjoying the tranquility and comfort of autumn.
There are also tourists strolling around, wandering in the beautiful scenery.
Not far away, a man walked slowly in their direction, Xu Jinrou looked back, and was suddenly shocked in her heart, and unconsciously stopped, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
The man's appearance does not look very handsome, but he has a unique temperament.
He was tall and straight, his skin tanned by the sun, and his eyes were deep black, like twinkling stars in the night sky, small but full of wisdom.
His eyebrows are thick like two sharp swords, his nose is high, and his jaw is well-defined.
The man is dressed in a seemingly simple but delicate dress, a dark robe embroidered with intricate gold patterns, which is both noble and elegant.
He held a gold-handled folding fan in his hand, although it was not opened, but it revealed his inner calmness and calmness.
Although the man's temperament and demeanor are outstanding, it is not the reason why Xu Jinrou was surprised, she was surprised because she knew this man.
This is the king of Xiangzhou in the Western Barbarians, the fifth prince Yu Wenting.
After the experience of the previous life, she could not only recognize this prince, but also knew that one day in the future he would become the son of heaven of Xiban.
When Xu Jinrou paid attention to Yu Wenting, Yu Wenting also looked at her.
This woman made Yu Wenting's heart feel a little amazing, he had seen countless beauties in the Xiban Palace, but the woman in front of him made him feel excited.
Although the woman's lower abdomen bulged and she should have been pregnant, he was attracted by her beauty and temperament and couldn't take his eyes off it.
Yu Wenting sighed heartily in his heart, saying that Da Chu is a place of beauty, and it really lives up to its reputation, even if it is a pregnant woman, it can also show a different kind of charm, like a ripe peach, tempting to pick.
The status of a pregnant woman did not detract from Xu Jinrou's charm, but instead stimulated the curiosity and interest of the five princes in her.
He just wanted to step forward to talk, when Feng Yi, a guard dressed as a servant, approached,
"Master, don't forget the queen's instructions, I have countless beauties in the Western Barbarians, Mo is close to the big Chu woman, especially a pregnant woman."
At this time, Xu Jinrou had already turned her head and looked at the lake.
Yu Wenting sighed secretly in his heart, and the two passed by.
