Chapter 502: Xiao Zhinan and Yu Meiren
The two women on horseback marched all the way, as if they had entered a no-man's land, from the outer city to the inner city, and then to the foot of the imperial city.
The palace is important, no one is allowed to ride a horse, only the old minister who is old and virtuous will be rewarded by the emperor to carry the public opinion in pairs, so the two women have not yet arrived at the palace gate, they have already turned over and dismounted, and led the horse along the royal road.
At this time, it was already dark at night, and the woman in the blue cloak led Sa Luzi, looked up at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "Since the death of my father and brother, I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, one because I don't have time, two because it's not necessary, and three, after all, I'm a woman, if I ride a horse openly, I will always be criticized by some old masters, and it is said that it is not dignified." โ
Speaking of this, she paused slightly, looked at the woman in white who was a little behind her, and smiled: "This time it is thanks to my sister that I have the opportunity to gallop again." โ
The woman in white was silent for a long time before she spoke softly, "Isn't the feeling of the sword above the Nine Heavens better than riding a horse?"
The woman in the blue cloak was silent for a while, and said slowly: "These are two different things, I think the reason for riding a horse is not the horse riding itself, but its extension. โ
The woman in white said in a slightly astringent voice: "Your Highness has whipped in, and Wu Yu has been taught." โ
The two women are Xiao Zhinan and Wu Yu, this time Wu Yu secretly went to the imperial capital to meet Xu Beiyou on the order of Zhang Xueyao, but there was a delay on the way because of other things, when she arrived at the imperial capital, Xu Beiyou had already left the imperial capital to go to Houjian, because of some tacit reasons, Wu Yu's identity is very special, and others dare not deal with it without authorization, plus Han Xuan is sick, so he reported the news to Xiao Zhinan, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Zhinan was actually alone out of the city to meet Wu Yu who came from afar, so there were two people riding horses and entering Beijing in parallelใ
Today's Xiao Zhinan is not an emperor is better than an emperor, and there are very few people who can stand side by side with the emperor, which inevitably reminds people of an allusion, when Xiao Yu joined hands with the autumn leaves of Daomen, laid down a large array, changed the time of the day, and it rained heavily in winter, which lasted for more than ten days, making the water of the Qinghe River swell and overflow, and finally flooded Xu Lin's 230,000 army, which caused Xu Lin to surrender to Xiao Yu, and enabled Xiao Yu to enter the central capital. When entering the middle capital, Xiao Yu once invited Akiba to ride a horse with him into the city to show the closeness between the two.
But who would have thought that the two people who had walked side by side many years ago finally turned against each other, and their friendship for many years also came to an end after a hand-to-hand in Meishan Mingling.
Wu Yu was born in a generation of official eunuchs, she is proficient in these allusions, and knows that ruthlessness is the truth of the emperor's family, even if she puts aside the relationship between Xu Beiyou, she also has an almost instinctive vigilance towards Xiao Zhinan, so Xiao Zhinan calls her sister, but she respectfully calls Xiao Zhinan His Royal Highness, and she has never really walked side by side, always slightly behind a position.
Xiao Zhinan saw this in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, after all, she had already shown sincerity, others didn't appreciate it, and she couldn't force others to recognize it, which made Wu Yu sit down with the suspicions in her heart.
She had heard about Wu Yu for a long time, after all, the two were often compared, and she couldn't do it if she didn't want to know. Jiang is not better than the imperial capital, there are many monks who wander the rivers and lakes, they don't care about what they don't shy away, in the past, it was the princess of Qiyang of Daqi, who stood out, and after Wu Yu replaced Xu Beiyou in charge of the Sword Sect and became famous, they simply listed the two as Northern Xiao Nanwu, until Xiao Zhinan became the eldest princess of Xunzheng, this statement was not reined in.
After this meeting, Xiao Zhinan had to admit that only in terms of appearance, this "poppy beauty" in Jiangdu is indeed not inferior to her Royal Highness the princess of Daqi, and she is really a fairy-like person, no wonder there are so many gossips, in all fairness, with such a beauty by his side, which man is not tempted? Not to mention that this beauty is also a little secret, it is even more difficult to accept the grace of the beauty.
Xiao Zhinan couldn't help but think of all kinds of rumors that were even in the dust as Xu Beiyou became famous all over the world.
To tell the truth, these rumors are really not very good, and most of them are speculation about the relationship between Xu Beiyou and Wu Yu.
Some people swear that Wu Yu has already been Xu Beiyou's near the water and the building has been the first to get the moon, the emperor has the main palace Niangniang, the Jiang has a foreign house Jiaoniang, the two places are separated by thousands of miles, since there is no need to worry about the restlessness of the back house, the fun here is not enough for outsiders, only the big sword fairy can appreciate it.
Some people also say that Xu Beiyou is a golden house and hides Jiaojiao, in fact, Her Royal Highness the princess is a veritable jealous woman, and the sect master Xu is not allowed to take concubines, but there is no cat in the world that does not steal fish, Xu Beiyou took advantage of the sect to take this national beauty and fragrant sister into the bag, hiding people's eyes and ears.
These rumors made Xiao Zhinan angry and funny, everyone in the world knew that Xu Beiyou had stolen fishy, and she, the eldest princess of the regent who held a sharp weapon for monitoring and probing such as the Secret Guard Mansion, was still kept in the dark?
What is this? Everyone wakes up and I'm drunk?
In general, no one believed that Xu Beiyou would guard such a beauty and not go to guard and steal, so that Zhang Xueyao, an elder, was afraid that Wu Yu would follow the old path of Qin Mumian back then, so he specially invited Tang Shengyue to talk to Xu Beiyou about this matter, and Xu Beiyou also wrote a letter to Xiao Zhinan to express his intentions, so that there were words such as "a man is frank" and "don't think about his wife, and the husband must be self-respecting".
But these messages have never stopped, but there is a trend of getting darker and darker.
Xiao Zhinan came to see Wu Yu in person this time, didn't he want to dispel these misunderstandings?
It's just that she didn't expect that the two marriage signs were so unlucky, but they made her suspect of taking the opportunity to demonstrate.
This episode was really unexpected by Xiao Zhinan, and it seemed to have its own providence in the dark, but at this time, when I think about it, Wu Yu's encounter with Xu Beiyou can indeed be regarded as "unladylike".
If Xu Beiyou doesn't have to take on the heavy responsibility of the Sword Sect, and he doesn't have a father-in-law who is an important minister of the temple, just a prodigal son who is free in the world, then he will definitely not have any intersection with Xiao Zhinan, from this point of view, he can be regarded as Wu Yu's beloved, without Xiao Zhinan, the two of them can not become a pair of immortal couples in the eyes of the world.
But there are not so many ifs in the world, Xu Beiyou will inevitably shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Sword Sect, and Han Xuan's return to the temple is also the trend of the times, then it is logical for him and Xiao Zhinan to intersect, there is an old saying, both Yu and He Shengliang, after having Xiao Zhinan, Xu Beiyou can only "live up" Wu Yu.
From this point of view, Xu Beiyou is indeed not a good person, that is, the marriage sign said that he is not a lady.
