Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 107 Spring Breeze Turns into Rain ([-])

When everyone returned to the palace, Wumaling didn't mention the competition anymore, and everyone knew that the emperor had no intention of making enemies with An Huaiguo, so the matter was happily over.

After drinking for three rounds, when singing and dancing changed, Xuan Wei asked: "How many days does your prince plan to stay in Qiyuan?"

Wu Maling smiled and said: "Jinling City is a good place, I'm very interested, I want to stay for a few more days, okay?"

There is no reason for the distinguished guest to want to stay, since this is Qiyuan's territory anyway, I am not afraid that he will make a fool of himself.

Xuan Wei said generously: "Of course you are welcome. It's just that the state affairs are busy, and I can't entertain you every day. Please let the prince do what he wants."

Wu Maling's eyes fell on Concubine Ruan from a distance, raised the corners of his lips, and said: "How can I bother Your Majesty to entertain you every day, Your Majesty only needs to arrange Concubine Ruan to accompany me."

This opening was to ask the concubine to accompany her, and everyone around was shocked by this shocking remark, and there were whispers.

Xuan Wei looked at Ruan Wei lightly, his thin lips were tightly pressed, his eyes were a little cold.

Yu Chumeng chuckled, and said: "Your prince doesn't know the customs of our Qiyuan, so it is understandable to make such a request. It's just that our Qiyuan women are not happy to show their faces, especially those who are married, so they must not be accompanied by us." Another man's."

Wu Maling said: "Empress, I know a thing or two about Qiyuan's local conditions and customs. Of course, the wife of the wife can't accompany other men, such as you, Empress, but her Concubine Ruan is just a concubine. Concubine is a concubine. Among the dignitaries of the Yuan Dynasty, beautiful concubines will be given to each other, right?"

"The emperor is different from ordinary people. How can the emperor's concubine be regarded as a concubine?"

Yu Chumeng said with a smile, but her tone was incontrovertible: "Concubine Ruan can't accompany the prince, the prince should find another beautiful woman."

Wu Maling ignored it, he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I came to Qiyuan this time with a gift, but Your Majesty hasn't asked, what kind of gift is it?"

He took out a folded piece of paper from the lapel of his clothes, and gave it to the servant behind him with one hand.

The palace man presented the things, and Xuan Wei unfolded the paper. .

Xuan Wei first frowned, and after contemplating it for a moment, his eyes lit up suddenly, and then he tightened the paper, and when he looked at Wu Maling, his attitude softened a lot, even showing some enthusiasm.

"What does your country want?"

Wu Maling smiled, and his eyes fell on Concubine Ruan meaningfully.

He didn't speak again, just said: "Your Majesty, we will talk in detail after the banquet."

"it is good."

Xuan Wei responded very simply, and even toasted the other party with a glass of wine.

After the banquet was over, Xuan Wei took the initiative to ask Wu Maling to change places for tea.

Just as he was about to go, his hand was held.

Xuan Wei was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the owner of the cool hand with some surprise.

Yu Chumeng looked at him and shook his head at him.

Xuan Wei looked down at the tightly clenched hand, struggled for a while, and finally stretched out his hand to break her away.

"Queen, there are some things that are not your business."

Yu Chumeng held him with both hands, and said anxiously in a low voice: "What can An Huaiguo give you? If you pass on the concubine, the world will laugh at you, the emperor."

Xuan Wei opened her hands again.

"Queen, what are you in a hurry for?"

This time, he forcefully shook off her hand that was still about to entangle her, and strode away without being able to avoid it.
-
After two hours, Ruan Wei obeyed the order to take a bath and change clothes, and then got into the carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Ruan Wei smiled wryly when she saw the words "Honglu Pavilion" on the majestic plaque.

really.

Honglu Hall is where Wumaling stayed, and Emperor Dog sent her here.

It was delivered by Eunuch Li himself.

"Your Majesty, there is no chance of turning things around, so you should go with it."

Ruan Wei didn't need to listen to his persuasion, and stepped into the Honglu Hall.

She was brought to a wing room, opened the door and entered.

There was only one candle in the room, and the light was rather dim. Wu Maling sat cross-legged in front of the short table. He was wearing loose pajamas, his chest was exposed, his black hair was loose, and he looked at her ambiguously.

"Your man gave you to me."

Ruan Wei went to the short table, sat down opposite him, looked at him, and asked, "What did you give the emperor?"

"Half of the blueprint of the fire machine ballista," Wu Maling didn't hide it, "I told him, after you completely become my woman, I will give him the other half."

The combat power of Anhuai country is something that the surrounding countries dare not underestimate, especially their guns and ballistas, which can defeat thousands of soldiers with one shot. With such a combat power, which country does not dream of it?
Ruan Wei said with certainty: "You will never give him the real blueprint, I'm not worth it."

Wu Maling looked at her eyes more and more appreciatively: "Yes, your emperor thinks so too, but he still won't reject a fake blueprint, because the Qiyuan Dynasty has always wanted to make a fire machine ballista, and this blueprint is The closest one."

"You will not send the fire machine ballista, and you will not take me away at all."

Ruan Wei smiled and said: "You actually hold a grudge because I won you. You won't allow me to be more respected in the Qiyuan Dynasty after winning you. So you deliberately used fake drawings to lure the emperor to marry me Send, after tonight, I can't go back to Qiyuan Palace, and you left me here and walked away, I can only die."

She didn't believe that Wu Maling would really fall in love with her at first sight, and she didn't believe that Wu Maling would be so stupid as to give away such a weapon of war for her alone.

It's all a lie, the truth is that he is taking revenge.

She walked here, once Wu Maling didn't take her back to Anhuai Country, poisoned wine or white silk would be waiting for her.Xuan Wei would never allow a concubine who had committed herself to others to survive.

"You still can't afford to lose, Wumaling."

Under the dim candle, Ruan Wei got up and sat beside him, stretched out her hand, her fingertips wandered along the edge of his open skirt, her charming eyes were charming.

Wu Maling held her hand that was protruding under his clothes, and asked, "Since you know, why are you still taking the initiative?"

Ruan Wei curled her lips into a smile, and there was a bit of despair in that smile: "Otherwise, looking for death and life? Shouldn't you enjoy the last night of ecstasy before you die?"

Her gaze was ambiguous downward, resting on his chest.

"Looking at your body, the work should be good."

She raised her delicate and charming lips, and brought them to his mouth, Wu Maling pinched her chin, stopping her movement.

"Are you going to die?" Wu Maling looked at her face condescendingly close at hand, relying on her height, "In your eyes, the emperor is the one who will kill you? You are so beautiful, he is willing?"

Ruan Wei said: "He will."

Of course he would, she had already been killed once.

Wu Maling confirmed this matter from the desperation in her eyes, she was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, I just want to punish you once, and play tricks on your emperor by the way, I didn't mean to offend you It means to die. After all, Anhuai's folk customs are relatively simple, and a man will not kill a woman for such a thing."
