Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 617: This is not a surprise

Hearing what he said, Pei Xingyuan immediately raised his head and thought for a moment, but before he could recall anything, he came to his senses first and said happily: "That's really it!"

Seeing him like this, Shen Wuzheng also pursed his lips.

But the next moment, when he thought about it carefully, Pei Xingyuan frowned again and said with a grimace: "But, even if this is the case, what is going on? It is impossible to have a book that can tell everything that will happen in the future. Write it to her, right? Isn’t that a heavenly book? Then isn’t she a god? Then what’s the point?”

Shen Wuzheng smiled and shook his head: "How is that possible?"

As he spoke, a cold yet sharp light flashed across his eyes, and he said, "Even if he is really a god—"

Pei Xingyuan didn't hear clearly and just looked at him: "What?"

Shen Wuzheng waved his hand gently, thought about it again, and then said seriously: "What I just said was just an analogy. I don't believe that there is really any ability in this world, or that there is some heavenly book that can predict 500 years in advance and 500 years in hindsight. .Everything is done by people.”

"..."

"Although I haven't figured out how she knows these things yet, I am sure that she did not predict what will happen in the future. She just knows some things very bluntly. But once these things change, or once she If she can’t remember, then there’s nothing she can do.”

"..."

"That's what Yu Wenye said, knowledge and wisdom are two different things."

"Knowledge, and wisdom?"

Pei Xingyuan just felt like he understood something, but the last sentence confused him again.Shen Wuzheng turned to look at him and said with a smile: "To be precise, things are controllable, but people are not."

"..."

"When she can't remember, she doesn't have the ability to predict the future; when the development of events doesn't match her memory, her ability won't be of much use."

Hearing what he said, Pei Xingyuan gradually came to his senses.

Said: "So, in the final analysis - everything depends on man-made things."

Shen Wuzheng said: "Yes, everything depends on human effort."

"..."

"The fall of Taiyuan this time is more complicated than we expected. So, as mentioned before, if the opponent thinks deeply, we have to think deeper; if the opponent takes ten steps, we have to take eleven steps. That's the only way , to win.”

"...that's true."

Pei Xingyuan said, then chuckled and said: "Just like this time, it seems that neither the King of Han nor Yu Mingyue expected that Feng Chen would interfere with them in the emperor's abdication. So. There is still competition for the position of prince."

"..."

Mentioning this, Shen Wuzheng's eyes dimmed slightly.

Although his face usually showed happiness and anger, his true thoughts were rarely shown on his face, but this time, Pei Xingyuan clearly felt his unhappiness. After thinking about it carefully, he understood it somewhat.

He whispered: "Why, are you angry about this?"

"..."

"But, Feng Chen, he is now——"

"No need to say it,"

Shen Wuzheng waved his hand lightly, interrupting his words, and then turned back to look at the towering shadow of the Nine Layers and Three Halls under the moonlight. He was silent for a while, and then said: "Let's go..."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Pei Xingyuan also looked back at him. Although they were already some distance away from the palace at this time, he felt inexplicably that the direction Shen Wuzheng was looking just now must be Qianqiu Palace, but he didn't know where Qianqiu Palace was at this moment. , what kind of scene should it be.

Speaking of which, no one thought that Yu Wenye would use such a method to fight for the last time.

It's just that a good wife and a beautiful concubine are said to have all the blessings and wisdom in the world. But judging from the subtle and somewhat cold atmosphere between Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi today, Pei Xingyuan faintly felt, Perhaps, that may not be a blessing.

but--

No matter how lucky he is, he already has a wife and a concubine. When he looks back at himself, he is empty-handed, with no one to care about him.Pei Xingyuan couldn't help but laugh bitterly, and felt that he was being too pretentious. After all, the major issue in front of him had not been resolved yet, so he had no time to think about it, so he immediately turned around and chased after him——

"Wuzheng, wait for me!"

As the two people left, the excitement like fireworks in the world disappeared like an ebbing tide in the tall shadows of the Nine Layers and Three Halls. In the end, a deep silence remained.

There was only some noise in the brightly lit Qianqiu Palace.

After bidding farewell to Su Qinglan, Shang Ruyi followed Yu Wenyuan's instructions and returned directly to Qianqiu Palace. However, even if he went back, he would not be able to rest immediately. After all, based on the current situation of the Battle of Taiyuan, and from this situation, Judging from the deduced battle situation, and even her inexplicable heart palpitations, this battle was not easy to fight, and it could not end so easily.

Therefore, the luggage you carry cannot be too simple.

After returning to Qianqiu Palace, she immediately ordered Tu Sheer and the others to pack their clothes. Seeing that the weather was about to get cold, she even took out some thick clothes that had been packed at the bottom of the box.

But there is another big trouble, that is Tusheer.

As Shang Ruyi's personal maid, she naturally follows Shang Ruyi wherever he goes. The last time he fought in Fufeng was because Shang Ruyi gave her another task, so she was willing to stay. But this time, she had no other orders. He insisted on going to Taiyuan, but Shang Ruyi only wanted to take Wuxue with him.

Regardless of her feelings, she couldn't trust Tu Sheer to the battlefield. Although Wuxue was young, he had such skills, and he might be able to come in handy when necessary.

Therefore, she persuaded her earnestly for a long time, but Tu Sheer saw that there was really no other way, so she could only accept it aggrievedly.

Not willing to give up even after that, he took Wuxue aside and chatted attentively for a long time.

Listening to them packing their luggage in the inner hall, they were saying this, giving orders and answering. Shang Ruyi sat outside and smiled and shook his head. He saw Chang Wan bringing in some more refreshments - even though he was attending a banquet just now, he only After drinking a glass of wine, the table was full of food and wine, and I didn't even have time to take a bite. The news came. When I came back after discussing those things, I realized that I was very hungry.

Shang Ruyi sat down and started eating.

While she was eating, she listened to Tu Sheer's nagging voice outside. She couldn't help but smile and said to Chang Wan: "After we leave, you will be left here. Keep an eye on She'er and don't let her go out." court disaster."

Chang Wan smiled and said: "Princess, please don't worry. In fact, She'er is usually very steady in what he says and does. It's just that when he's around the princess, because he's worried about the princess and cares about her, she sometimes talks nonsense."

Shang Ruyi glanced at her and said with a smile, "You understand her."

Chang Wan was startled, then smiled and lowered his head.

Shang Ruyi smiled and ate another piece of shortbread with tea. Although it didn't completely fill his stomach, it was late at night. If he stopped eating after eating too much, he wouldn't be able to sleep for a while, so he took another sip of tea. Then he went over and washed his hands.

Chang Wan saw that there were two pieces of shortbread left on the plate and said, "Did you just put these away?"

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "No need."

"what?"

"For a while, wait for him - wait for King Qin to come back, and then eat."

When Chang Wan heard this, he immediately understood.

Even Princess Qin didn't have enough to eat, and she was definitely not full when King Qin had such a big meal. No wonder she asked for so much when he just ordered her to go to the imperial dining room. It was enough for two people. It turned out that she wanted it for King Qin on purpose.

Chang Wan pursed her lips and said softly: "I understand, this slave."

Although she didn't smile, Shang Ruyi was still a little embarrassed. He could only pretend not to care and turned around and walked to the window, opened the window and looked outside.

The surroundings were already dark.

But looking further to the west, the dark sky was slightly illuminated by the lights. Could it be that they were still discussing the dispatch of troops in Baifu Hall?

No, Baifu Hall is much further away.

Over there, it seems--

Just as Shang Ruyi was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside. It seemed that someone was coming to Qianqiu Palace. Shang Ruyi immediately turned back and glanced at Chang Wan. Chang Wan did not dare to neglect and hurriedly greeted him out.

In the night, there was the sound of her walking outside the door, as if she was whispering something to someone.

At this time, Tu Sheer had made it clear to Wuxue, and had almost packed his luggage. He was walking out of the inner hall, looked at the sky outside, and said softly: "Princess, it's already so late, why don't you, Prince?" Are you coming back? You will set off at dawn tomorrow, and you won’t be able to sleep for a while tonight.”

"..."

Shang Ruyi said nothing, just leaned against the window and listened to the sounds outside.

For some reason, she vaguely felt that it should be news about Yu Wenye...

At this moment, Chang Wan walked in from outside.

There were only two lamps lit in the hall, and the light was not bright. When she walked in from the outside, her face seemed to be stained with a bit of the gloom of the night, and even her brows and eyes had a bit of gloom. She walked until she stood in front of Shang Ruyi , then lowered his head and whispered: "Princess..."

Tusheer looked at her: "What are you doing out there? Is anyone coming?"

Chang Wan nodded and glanced at Shang Ruyi carefully. Seeing that she didn't say a word and just sat quietly, she said softly: "Yes, it's Pan Qing, the maid of Jin Yuyuan."

"Pan Qing? She's not serving the public—"

Tu Sheer was startled, glanced at Shang Ruyi again, swallowed the words that followed, and whispered unconsciously: "What is she here for?"

Chang Wan glanced at Shang Ruyi again and said softly: "She, she said—His Royal Highness King Qin went to Jinyu Garden."

"..." "She came here to report and ask the princess to rest early."

"what?!"

Tu Sheer's voice suddenly rose a few degrees. In such a silent night, it shook the entire Qianqiu Palace. Wuxue from the inner hall hurriedly walked out and looked at them carefully, especially those sitting in the palace. Beside the window, there seemed to be no movement, and at this time, Shang Ruyi didn't even have the slightest expression.

Even though there was a lamp lit in front of her, the flickering light could not illuminate her eyes at all.

Those originally bright eyes were now dark and dull.

Tu Sheer, who had exclaimed at first, came to his senses at this time, hurriedly covered his mouth, and looked down at Shang Ruyi. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak, and his face was full of anxiety. , even her hands couldn't help but clenched into fists, but Chang Wan on one side stretched out her hand and gently held her down.

The three girls just quietly surrounded Shang Ruyi.

After an unknown amount of time, Shang Ruyi finally moved.

But he raised his head, with a calm smile on his face, as if nothing had happened. He glanced at them respectively, and then said with a smile: "You all, go down and rest."

"..."

"Especially Wuxue, we have to leave early tomorrow morning, so don't get up too late."

"..."

Wuxue didn't know what to do, but he also knew that he should be obedient, so he responded softly, turned around and retreated.

Tusheer said: "Princess, I——"

Shang Ruyi looked at her with a smile and said: "Fortunately, Chang Wan just said that you are usually very prudent in doing things and will not make mistakes. Look, just a little news about Jin Yuyuan makes you scream like a ghost." Damn it, if something big happens, how can you handle it?"

"..."

"These days, while we are away, you should practice your courage."

"princess……"

Tu Sheer was speechless, feeling uncomfortable and aggrieved. However, he was already like this, so why did Shang Ruyi not care at all.

Does she really not care?
She subconsciously wanted to ask - after all, the young lady who had been on the top of her heart since she was a child, and now Princess Qin, no matter how her status changed, was still on the top of her heart, and she didn't want to see anything about Shang Ruyi. Suffering and pain are not willing.

Tusheer said softly: "Miss..."

Shang Ruyi looked at her again, smiling, even patiently, but when he spoke, his voice seemed to be tinged with the moisture of night dew, and it became a little hoarse: "Be obedient, and get down."

Tu Sheer wanted to obey, but was really reluctant to leave. In the end, Chang Wan, who was standing by, grabbed her wrist and with a little more strength, she finally dragged her out of the Qianqiu Palace step by step.

In the distance, you can still hear her worried sigh and a low, unwilling muttering.

And until their footsteps were far away and could no longer be heard, Shang Ruyi still maintained the same posture as before, as if he had lost the strength to move, sitting there quietly and motionless.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and allowed herself to move.

His whole body seemed to be frozen.

This is not a surprise.

In fact, from the moment she accepted her identity, the destiny in front of her, and the glory brought by the Nine Layers and Three Palaces, she had already expected that this day, this moment would come.

I just didn't expect that it would be today, at this moment.

However, it was really not a surprise. After all, she had already mentioned to Yu Wenye yesterday that she asked him to go to Jinyu Garden to accompany Chu Ruoyan. It was just because yesterday was the first day they moved into the palace. Yu Wenye, as the King of Qin, He still stayed with Princess Qin. No matter what, he had given her enough face and made their relationship clear to everyone.

So today, with the expedition coming soon, it was indeed right for him to go see Chu Ruoyan.

"Should be..."

As if listening to the voice in his heart, and as if he was convincing himself, Shang Ruyi murmured these three words over and over again, finally finding some comfort from these three words, and regaining some strength, slowly Turning around, I looked out the window at the imperfect moon in the dark sky.

Sure enough, it is difficult for a person and a moon to be two circles.

There were only a few raindrops falling gently on the moonlit windowsill.

|
Under the same moonlight, at this time, Su Qinglan finally arrived home.

Although her mother was one of the few female officials serving in the imperial court, her salary was not large and her family was not well-off, so she could only live in Yong'anfang, which was far away from the palace. An ordinary bungalow was her residence.

The neighbors here are ordinary people who don't enjoy partying late at night, so when she returned home, the surroundings were dark, except for wild dogs fighting in a few alleys far and near, making whining sounds.

What's left is the sound of her own footsteps echoing softly on the long silent street.

Normally she rarely comes home so late, but like this today, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened. Seeing that her home was in front of her, she finally regained her composure after thinking about it all the way. She couldn't help but quicken her pace and was about to move forward, but... When he was still some distance away from the door of his home, he suddenly stopped.

Moreover, breathing is also suffocating!
Because she suddenly found a tall figure standing at the door of her house, leaning against the door, as if waiting for something.

Who is that?
what to do! ?

She was frightened and frightened, and subconsciously wanted to step back. But late at night, if she didn't go home, where could she go?So I can only move forward, but I can't move forward with heavy steps.

Just when she was in a dilemma, the tall figure moved and seemed to raise its head.

The faint moonlight suddenly illuminated that handsome face, especially a pair of bright eyes that seemed brighter than the moonlight when he saw her. Then he immediately straightened up and showed a happy smile to Su Qinglan. meaning.

"You're back."

"...!"

Su Qinglan's breath was suffocated again.

This voice is-

She subconsciously took two steps forward. The moonlight seemed to respond to her thoughts. It was a little brighter at this time, which also allowed her to see more clearly. The figure in front of her was none other than Jiang Wei!

"you--"

She was surprised again, with a hint of clear joy in her surprise. Just as she was about to say something, she immediately bit her lower lip.

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!

It was the day she promised to go to his house before!

Because she suddenly received the imperial edict of a reward today, she immediately went to the palace to thank him, and then went to the Baifu Hall for a banquet. In the rush, she forgot to make an appointment with him. It was not until Princess Qin asked about today when she left the palace that she suddenly thought of it. .

However, when she thought about breaking the appointment, she was afraid that Jiang Wei would also be disappointed in her and would not come to see her again.

Unexpectedly, he actually found her home!
Su Qinglan was ashamed and nervous, speechless for a moment, but Jiang Wei had slowly walked up to her, lowered his head and looked at her for a while, then smiled and said: "It's good that you came back safely. .”

Su Qinglan looked at him: "You——"

Jiang Wei smiled and said: "I saw that you didn't come today, and I was worried that something happened to you, so I went to the city to inquire for a long time, and finally found this place. They said that you went to the palace to do something. I don't know what happened, so I have been here all the time. Wait for you."

"..."

"I'm relieved to see you're back okay."

After saying that, he smiled at Su Qinglan: "It's late at night. You should go home and rest quickly. I'm leaving."

He turned around and was about to leave.

But just when he was about to take a step, a soft sound suddenly sounded behind him, but it seemed to have an uncontrollable trembling sound——

"wait."

Jiang Wei immediately stopped and looked back at her, only to see Su Qinglan say softly: "You are going out on business in two days, right?"

"Yes."

"Bon Voyage."

"Ah."

"Come back sooner."

"..."

"When you come back," Su Qinglan was silent for a while, and finally said seriously, as if she had made up her mind: "I will go to your house again."

"...!"

Jiang Tai's eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked at Su Qinglan with surprise, but he didn't say anything. He was silent for a long time, then smiled and nodded solemnly: "It's a deal."

After speaking, he turned and left.
