Chapter 5: Jinzhi Beauty has a unique scheming
"Your Majesty." Liu Ya, the housekeeper, came in at this time and bowed as if he had something important to report.
"My concubine only needs to take good care of the fetus. I will deal with political affairs first." Xuanyuanchen let go of Liu Yuying, whose body was shaking, but he no longer wanted to help her. Fortunately, Luo'er quickly stepped forward to help her.
Turning around, Xuanyuan Chen left without looking back. Liu Yuying looked at his back, and the cold wind leaked in and blew on her face, with tears that had not been dried. But how can I resist the pain in my heart?
Someone cried in this room, and Xuanyuanchen rushed to the general's mansion overnight and put the painted books in front of her. Lan Ruoyan turned over the books that had been wet with tears and had not yet dried, and her heart trembled slightly.
"Yan'er, Shaofei is pregnant, and I can't sweep her out of the house, that way..." Xuanyuanchen saw Lan Ruoyan say nothing after reading those books for a long time, thinking that she was angry that there was no Liu Yuying's book, so he hesitated to explain.
"Your Majesty, that's enough." Lan Ruoyan slowly looked sideways at Xuanyuanchen. There was still a trace of guiltyness on his face. It was not easy for a feudal prince to do this for her. She didn't force anything, because she felt that she couldn't give Xuanyuan much.
"Yan'er, do you mean - are you willing to come back home with me?" Xuanyuanchen was happy. He thought that without Shaofei's divorce, Lan Ruoyan's temperament would still persist with him for a few days before returning home, but now listening to her tone, he seems to acquiesce.
"Hmm." Lan Ruoyan nodded, but immediately added, "However, my lord, the three chapters of our wedding night are still established. Does the prince still remember?
Xuanyuanchen sighed when he heard the words, "Actually, what you want to say is 'as long as the two are not happy, no one can go over the thunder pool'. Don't worry, Yaner, as long as you don't allow me for a day, I won't go against what I said.
"Thank you, Lord." Lan Ruoyan lowered her eyes and saw the stack of books again. Now when you go back to the royal palace, it's time to be quiet.
He did everything he could do for himself. Lan Ruoyan looked up at Xuanyuanchen. How much has this cruel emperor and noble changed for himself? Ask yourself a pretentious sentence, how can you accept his kindness to you?
Just waiting for her to nod, the sedan chair of the royal palace soon came to the door of the general's mansion. Lan Ruoyan never thought that one day she would enjoy the so-called "luxury" treatment. The joy of Zhongming, selling gold stoves to burn incense, seven phoenix golden umbrellas, eight golden top yellow embroidered phoenix version. Xuanyuan Chen actually gave her such treatment as this!
"I remember that the prince doesn't like extravagance. Why do you want to welcome me back home today?" Lan Ruoyan asked Xuanyuan Chen softly.
"If not, I'm afraid my father-in-law won't let you go with me." Xuanyuanchen smiled helplessly, but he didn't think it was worth it. If it weren't for the fact that he was just a prince now, he would have greeted her back with the queen's gift.
"Is that true?" Lan Ruoyan looked back at the gate of the general's mansion, and Lan Qifeng, Lan Ruofeng and Wen Yao stood there and watched them. Lan Qifeng looked calm and smiled at Lan Ruoyan with some relief.
"Of course." Xuanyuanchen replied as a matter of course and looked at Lan Ruoyan seriously, "Doesn't Yaner believe me?"
"How dare my concubine." Lan Ruoyan couldn't help laughing when she saw him like this. But when she looked sideways, when she saw a blue and lonely figure in the distance, her smile stopped in an instant. Su Mu!
"What's wrong?" Xuanyuanchen saw that her expression suddenly changed and asked in a low voice.
Shaking his head, Lan Ruoyan stopped talking. Su Mu should be hurt by her...
Although Su Mu felt lonely, he did not leave alone because Lan Ruoyan returned to the royal palace. He knew her considerations and believed that as long as he did not give up, Yan'er would still return to him. I just remembered the gentle appearance of Lan Ruoyan being pulled by Xuanyuanchen, and I didn't feel a throb in my heart. Walking sadly on the street, he didn't hear the noise outside his ears.
He lowered his head and walked forward. Suddenly, he saw a pair of black cloth shoes and thick-soled shoes in front of him. Su Mu looked up and heard the man laugh, "Oh! Isn't this Lord Su Mu?"
"Poisonous gentleman!" Even if it is easy to face, the poisonous gentleman uses the face of his original appearance. Su Mu recognized him at a glance.
"It's hard for Lord Su to know each other. He's all right, Lord Su." Compared with Su Mu, the poisonous gentleman seems much calmer.
When Su Mu saw him, he remembered what he said to the old urchin when he was in the West Lake. He was going to kill Lan Ruoyan. Why on earth is this? Thinking about this, Su Mu changed into a peaceful smile and said to the poisonous gentleman, "It's better to meet by chance. You and I are all working for King Chen. Why don't we go for a drink together today? Su is unaccompanied and doesn't want to go to that lively place. The poisonous gentleman looked at Su Mu's expression sharply and couldn't find any flaws. He thought that they were the same people, so he readily agreed.
In the small winery where the two went together, there were not many people coming and going, so they did not hang a signboard, but only inserted a flag with the word "wine" written in the door. This place seems deserted, but its essence is one of the information exchange points under King Chen.
"I didn't expect Lord Su to choose this place." The poisonous gentleman sat down, poured a bowl of wine and gently pushed it to Su Mu, "Please drink, it's just wine."
"Since it is non-toxic, there is no need to explain." Su Mu took the wine and drank it all at once.
"Today, the prince welcomed the princess back home, and I'm afraid only the royal family can put it out." The poisonous gentleman poured another bowl of wine for himself and looked at the trafficy streets outside the window. Prosperity should be the biggest feature of the capital. There are countless people who are attracted every year. In the end, there are countless people who are caught up by this superficial glitz. It is obviously full of desire and struggle, but why is it still like that? What about attracting outsiders?
"Only the royal family needs to enjoy that kind of honor. Why did the senior poisonous gentleman suddenly make such an emotion? As soon as Su Mu returned to the capital, he used all the mechanisms of the carp platform to investigate the past of the poisonous gentleman, the old man and the bright moon fairy. They were from the same family, but in the end, they stayed in the capital because the little sister Mingyue Fairy followed General Lan Qifeng, and finally lived on the horizon. It's just that something else happened in the middle, but he couldn't find out.
Because in those years, a woman told me that she envied the woman sitting on the phoenix. Think about it, women all over the world love vanity. The poisonous gentleman recalled that year, and he accompanied his sister to the temple to carry incense. On the way, he met the team of the emperor accompanying Hua Guifei to carry the newborn little prince Xuan Yuanchen to the Guanyin Hall to fulfill his wishes.
At that time, Mingyue looked at the imperial concubine holding her young son. Under the jewel-inlaid forehead, her beautiful posture was weak after giving birth, but the corners of her mouth were full of happy smiles. Sometimes she looked at the beloved son in her arms and sometimes looked at the emperor's frame in front of her. After waiting for this vast team to go far away, Mingyue turned her head to look at her second brother poison gentleman and said, "Second brother, I think that noble concubine is so happy, and I will be like her in the future."
At that time, the poisonous gentleman was stunned and felt that the little sister was a little whimsically, but he loved her so much that he couldn't bear to say words that hit her. Unexpectedly, she would follow the cavalry general Lan Qifeng regardless of her reputation for that vanity!
Thinking of this, the poisonous gentleman only feels stuffy! Another sip drank all the spirits in the bowl, sbooed, and said, "Since ancient times, all the beauty has been ruthless! Only know how to be greedy for glory and wealth!
"Why did the senior veto all the women in the world because of a woman?" Su Mu knew from the intelligence that the bright moon fairy was Lan Ruoyan's biological mother, and a woman who could give birth to a daughter like Lan Ruoyan would not be ordinary.
What's the difference between women in the world? Isn't it the same with your beloved woman? No matter how much you have promised her, you are still not as important as that noble status!" The poisonous gentleman sarcasticly satirized Su Mu. As Xuanyuan Chen's spy chief, how could he not know about Su Mu and Lan Ruoyan? It's just that he felt that Su Mu loved a woman he shouldn't love!
Su Mu stared at the poisonous gentleman. What was the heart of this cruel man? Su Mu never regrets what he said, and he also cares about Yaner. Every word is serious! Just a senior, do you really love Mingyue Fairy?
"I didn't expect that you even found out Mingyue, but I underestimated you!" The poisonous gentleman replied coldly, but avoided answering Su Mu's question.
Looking at the poisonous gentleman with a sneer, Su Mu said indifferently, "If your heart is really given to the Mingyue Fairy, you won't want to hurt her. Because she has your heart, if you kill her, you will live alone like a walking corpse.
In Su Mu's words, the poisonous gentleman did not refute, but his hatred for the bright moon fairy still remained unchanged, and his heart to kill Lan Ruoyan was still very determined.
Knowing that it was useless to say more to the poisonous gentleman, so he took out an ingot of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table. Su Mu would not walk out of the winery. He wanted to set up the poisonous gentleman to say that he wanted to kill Lan Ruoyan, but it spread it to Xuanyuan Chen's ears through the detective here, but the poisonous gentleman was old and cunning, and he was aware of it at that time. His purpose. At the critical moment, he didn't say anything. However, he basically understood why the poisonous gentleman hated Lan Ruoyan so much, and his mother and daughter paid off their debts...
At this time, Lan Ruoyan has returned to the royal palace with Xuanyuan Chen, and Lanxin Pavilion seems to be the same. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xuan Yuanchen did not make the quiet Lanxin Pavilion luxurious in order to show his goodwill to her.
"Yan'er, have a good rest. Now it's a critical moment. There are many things that I need to deal with in person. When I'm done, how about I take you to Mobei?" Xuanyuanchen looked at Lan Ruoyan reluctantly. People said that a little farewell is better than a newlywed. What's more, he and Lan Ruoyan have been separated for almost a year?
"Hmm. Go, prince, Yaner understands. Xuanyuan Chen explained this, and even thought about the compensation measures. Lan Ruoyan was a little flattered. Xuanyuanchen treated her so politely, and she could only reply meekly.
"I will come to you for dinner tonight." After Xuanyuanchen told him, he let go of Lan Ruoyan's hand and left Lanxin Pavilion.
Seeing Xuanyuan Chen leave, Lan Ruoyan felt a little relaxed. Suddenly, a few footsteps came from behind. She turned around helplessly and heard a familiar sweet female voice first, "Mother!"
"Is that you?" Lan Ruoyan looked at the beautiful girl in front of her in disbelief. At this moment, she didn't know whether to call the girl Lan Xiang or Xiaodie.
"The Empress is still called the maidservant Xiaodie." Xiaodie said sweetly and came over and took Lan Ruoyan's hand. "It's good to come back to serve the Empress!"
Although Lan Ruoyan was also happy, she thought that Xiaodie would suddenly come back, and it must have been arranged by Xuanyuanchen. So he asked in a low voice, "Did the prince ask you to come back?"
"Yes. The prince said that other people were not used to serving the prince, so he let the maidservant come back from the palace. Outside, the maidservant of the imperial concubine was not served well and was expelled from the palace. The prince was pitiful and became a maid in the house. Xiaodie came back from the palace and spoke more cleverly and sweetly than in the past.
"Alas! It made you suffer." Lan Ruoyan stretched out her hand and stroked Xiaodie's drooping hair, full of pity for her. In fact, people have to experience metamorphosis like insects, and this is just to be able to live better and have no reluctant choice.
"Empress--" Xiaodie couldn't stop her tears in her eyes when she heard the words. She came back from the palace and saw what kind of human feelings were cold and warm in the intrigued harem. How could she not understand who was the one who really treated her well? Perhaps Princess Chen is the one who can really protect her life, and she is also the one who is willing to repay her life.
"Well, it's hard to meet you. Don't cry." Lan Ruoyan knew that the girl was too moved and hurriedly persuaded her.
"Well, it's the Empress. I don't cry." Xiaodie nodded, and tears still fell out. She hurried to wipe it, but Lan Ruoyan took a step faster and wiped it for her with the silk handkerchief she had already taken out.
Under the arrangement of Xuanyuanchen, Lan Ruoyan saw the people she wanted to see and the quiet life she wanted, but she still couldn't enjoy it. Because of Xuanyuanchen's change and Su Mu's as always, she couldn't choose for a moment. Lan Ruoyan has never been a too greedy woman, but the pain of her previous life and the loneliness of a person make her cherish the feelings of the two of them more. She can't bear to hurt those who treat her wholeheartedly.
At this point, Lan Ruoyan thought that everything should be just her emotional entanglement, but unexpectedly, there was a bigger conspiracy brewing in the place she did not see, and the crisis seemed to break out in an instant!
Today, the Empress Dowager Nangong was born in a family of princes. His ancestors were the founders of Xia Qi, so he was awarded the title of marquis and hereditary title for five generations. Nangong Shen's "King of Qi" has three sons and one daughter under his knees, and his three sons all serve in the army and are stationed at the border. Although her daughter Nangong Jinzhi is not the direct descendant, her mother Qin is also a beloved concubine of Nangong Shen, and she is also eloquent and good at catering to other people's preferences. In addition, she is the only daughter, so she is very favored in the palace of Qi.
Nangong Jinzhi is beautiful and elegant, but she is a calculating woman inside. She is vicious by nature and has higher eyes than the sky.
Therefore, when Nangong Jinzhi heard that his father Nangong Shen said that the empress dowager intended to marry Lan Ruofeng, the son of the general Lan Qifeng, analyzed the current situation in the court. "Father, the emperor is seriously ill today, and the whereabouts of the prince is unknown. In the court, Weichen Wang's party was powerful. And the empress dowager wants her daughter to marry Lan Ruofeng, and in the end, she is just the general's wife. If she can marry King Chen, he will definitely be his, and with her daughter's wisdom, it is impossible to be honored to the queen in the future!"
"Jinzhi, your statement is reasonable, but after all, the Nangong family is the Empress Dowager's family. If you defect at this time, I'm afraid..." Nangong Shen doesn't know that the situation in the court is very unfavorable to the Empress Dowager's family, but he still cares about the friendship with the Empress Dowager's sister and brother.
Seeing that Nangong was cautiously wandering, Nangong Jinzhi said, "Father, the great general Lan Qifeng and Hui Wang Liu Pingxian both supported Xuanyuanchen. The emperor was seriously ill, the prince disappeared, and the empress dowager had nothing to rely on. If you continue to confront Chen Wang's party, you will only be defeated. At that time, I'm afraid that my daughter will say it bluntly. In the end, I'm afraid that the Nangong family will end up with a 'tree-down Sunsan'! If you abandon the secret at this time, the Nangong family will still have a glimmer of life!"
Nangong Shen was shocked when he heard the "fallen and scattered". After the disappearance of the prince, he had already planned to go to Xuanyuanchen. At this time, I heard my daughter talk about the center of the matter. He also felt that although the Nangong family is strong and has a promising future, it is better to change to the command of King Chen before it can stay sound in the long run.
"In fact, I have had this intention for a long time, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to go to King Chen." Nangong Shen sighed, got up and said to Nangong Jinzhi, "Jinzhi, go to the general's mansion with your father and meet Lan Ruofeng. If that person doesn't suit you, you can at least keep you safe in the future if you marry him."
Nangong Shen is well-intentioned, but unfortunately his distant daughter may not understand it. Once you enter the royal family, it is difficult for anyone to protect the glory of the future. Maybe it will cause a disaster of death and destruction!
Nangong Jinzhi went to visit the general's mansion with his father. He also happened to meet Wen Yao and Lan Ruofeng quarreled and didn't eat. Lan Ruofeng had to send someone to invite Lan Ruoyan to comfort him.
Lan Ruoyan walked to the door of Wen Yao's room and knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, a curse came from inside, "What else are you doing here?" Go and find Princess Guimu to cultivate her feelings before marriage!"
will react so quickly, which shows that I still want Lan Ruofeng to come quickly. Lan Ruoyan smiled secretly, looked at Lan Ruofeng beside him, who was worried, and deliberately said loudly, "Brother! Don't you think the senior sister can accept that you marry Princess Guimu? What are you worried about?
As soon as Wen Wei heard that it was Lan Ruoyan and heard her say that, she was immediately anxious. She hurried over and opened the door and pulled Lan Ruoyan in. Sister! I'm your senior sister! How dare you trap me so badly!"
Lan Ruoyan saw Wen Yuxing's eyes round and her cheeks turned red, so she smiled and said, "Ha ha... Sister, your handwriting is so beautiful."
"Ah! You are still teasing me!" Wen Wei saw that Lan Ruoyan was not so bad, and immediately understood that what she had just said was teasing her! Immediately fished the itching of Lan Ruoyan with shame.
