Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 765 Brothers and sisters, are you okay?

Just as the two people in Qianqiu Palace were chatting and laughing, in the lobby of Yu Mansion on the other side, there was a bang, breaking the tranquility.

A teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

Wushan County Duke Yu Dingxing's face was pale, and his expression was a little panicked. He looked at the man in front of him who came out of the palace to deliver the news. His face was not very good at all. The little eunuch who was even more frightened by this, hurriedly spoke out to comfort him. He winked at the people around him, and someone immediately presented him with a few banknotes and respectfully sent the young eunuch out.

As soon as the person left, Yu Dingxing's face darkened.

He coldly looked back at Yu Mingyue, who was sitting under his left hand. After hearing everything that happened in Liangyi Hall today, Yu Mingyue was still calm and calm, and said in a deep voice: "Is this what you said, foolproof?"

"..."

Although he was calm and composed, the moment he heard these words, there was still a trace of frustration that could not be concealed in his eyes.

Yu Mingyue turned her head and looked at him.

Yu Dingxing said again: "Is this what you said, that everything is under control?"

"..."

Normally, Yu Mingyue would have 10,000 words to respond to such a question, but today, she had just learned about the "complete failure" in the Liangyi Palace. Even with such a result, her plan that was 100 percent sure of success still had a 10% chance of failure. Although I was prepared, but actually failed, I still felt frustrated and lost, and even felt short of breath and unable to respond.

After a long silence, she only said: "Why is father like this?"

"Why so?"

Yu Dingxing became angrier and angrier as he listened, and even couldn't help clenching his fists. After all, he was born as a martial artist and has a bad temper. Moreover, he has had no affection for his daughter for so many years. Now he sees her doing things without consulting him, acting on her own initiative, taking such a big risk, and the result is like this. If he fails miserably, according to his usual rule, he will punish him.

But he finally endured it.

Although he had abandoned this daughter, and although he had earned the title of Duke of Wushan through her actions, it was because of these that Yu Dingxing was unable to have the proper father-daughter love for her, even if it was just a relationship. The ants on the rope also have a strange mentality of earning from each other and being wary of each other, and she seems to be the same way; but no matter what, after all, Yu Mingyue still receives the salary from the court, and it is the official name of Jixian Palace, so it is not him. Can do anything at will. What's more, even if the emperor changed his mind and did not accept her as his daughter-in-law, the relationship between her and the prince was still there. The person who just came to report the news was someone sent by Han Shanggong, and they knew the relationship between Han Shanggong and the prince very well. .

This is why Yu Dingxing has always tolerated her.

He couldn't take action, but he couldn't swallow the anger in his heart. Yu Dingxing gritted his teeth and sneered: "Who said before that there would be a fire in His Highness King Qin's backyard and he wouldn't care about us."

"..."

"Now, so what?"

"..."

"You said you were going to do something, some female rivalry, but now there is no fight between Princess Qin and King Qin's concubine. Not only are they not fighting, the two of them even cooperate with each other tacitly. In just a few words, they can tell the people you have installed and what you have done. The matter was covered up."

"..."

"That's all. The matter in King Qin's backyard has nothing to do with us. Even if the sisters are of the same mind and love each other, it has nothing to do with us. But because of this matter, most of the power in the hands of Han Shanggong has been divided into Yumingli. Hands, do you know what this means!”

The more he spoke, the uglier Yu Mingyue's face became.

In fact, Yu Dingxing didn't need to explain it to her word by word. The little eunuch who came from the palace just now still had a panicked expression, so she knew the importance of this matter. Before that, as long as Yu Wenyuan did not give the ladies in his harem any power to manage the harem, and Shang Ruyi needed to rest and take care of her fetus, then the people and things in the palace would be in the hands of Han Shang Palace, and he would be able to do it for her. Know it and use it for her.

But now, it fell into the hands of the Jade Eunuch.

Until now, Yu Mingyue has not been able to chew off the bone of Eunuch Yu. Not only can she not chew it off, but she also understands that this bone cannot be chewed off.

Because the background of this Eunuch Jade is too complicated, he has been Yu Wenyuan's confidant sent to the palace from the beginning. Although he has been devoted to Chu Yang and Queen Mother Jiang over the years, he has always been loyal to Yu Wenyuan; and the changes in Jiangdu Palace, then When he was in danger, it was Yu Wenye who rescued him and escorted him all the way back to Daxing.

Everyone knows that this is a huge life-saving grace!

As an old man who has served Chu Yang for many years, Yu Mingli cannot fail to understand what kind of choices he needs to face now. And what he is doing now, even if it is not obvious, but his steps cannot be hidden from others.

He is leaning towards King Qin Yuwen Ye!

In other words, even if the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the palace, as well as large and small affairs, have not completely fallen into the hands of Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi, at least they cannot hide it from their eyes.

It would be difficult for her to use such small means this time to shake the two people in Qianqiu Palace!

Thinking of this, Yu Mingyue couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Because she knew that if she couldn't use people and things that she wouldn't get involved with to plot against Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi like this time, she could only use some big changes and wars, such as the previous Battle of Fufeng and the The Battle of Taiyuan, but she also found after several times that it was too difficult to control and could easily cause other problems; besides, now, there is not much time left before the most critical "that thing".

Fortunately, there is another one in front of her!

Thinking of this, she cheered up again, glanced at her "father" with a cold look, and said calmly: "Father, there is no need to panic. I have already said that we still have a chance."

"..."

"This incident is just paving the way for the upcoming 'opportunity'."

"...!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Dingxing's brows wrinkled again.

Another upcoming “opportunity.”

Ever since this daughter came to her with the eldest son of Sheng Guogong and persuaded her to join Sheng Guogong, she had said similar words countless times. Although Yu Dingxing didn't believe her, he couldn't help but believe that she had absolute strength in troubled times, and now she has truly established her country. Yu Wenyuan proclaimed himself emperor and gave himself a reward.

Now, if you don't believe her, what can you do?

Her name is Yu Mingyue, and she is the eldest daughter of the Yu family who has recognized her ancestors. The things she did, as well as the things she did with Yuwen Sui following her, had already deeply offended King Qin. At this time, he Of course there is no turning back.

Yu Dingxing's face was livid, he was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "I just hope you don't use this 'opportunity' to lead the Yu family into a path of no return."

"...!"

Yu Mingyue frowned.

After being silent for a long time, she suppressed the sudden and inexplicable uneasiness in her heart and said calmly: "How could that be?"

Yu Dingxing said with lingering anger: "Then what are you going to do?"

Yu Mingyue smiled faintly: "Wait."

"Wait? Still waiting?"

Yu Dingxing laughed angrily and said: "Do you think that the weakening of Han Yuhui's power is the whole result of this incident? Today, the Ministry of War has issued an order for Shen Tutai to lead his army eastward to attack Songzhou and Xuzhou!"

"..."

"Fan Cheng'en, the governor of Songzhou, is a scholar and has no capable generals around him. It is impossible for him to defend against Shentutai. When Songzhou and Xuzhou are defeated by Shentutai, the heavy responsibility of attacking Luoyang will definitely fall on King Qin ,by that time--"

A cold light flashed in Yu Mingyue's eyes.

But she still had a plan in mind and just said lightly: "So what?"

"you--"

"What I want is for Shen Tutai to capture Songzhou."

"...!"

This time, Yu Dingxing couldn't help but show a surprised look, and Yu Mingyue slowly stood up and walked to the lobby door, looked at the sky outside, and said lightly: "Don't worry, there are still a few months, so don't be impatient. "

"..."

"The fun is yet to come."

|

After nearly half a month of preparation, on the second day of April, General Shen Tutai of the Sheng Dynasty led 80,000 troops and marched eastward.

Also accompanying him on the expedition was King Yuwen Cheng of Qi.

Although it was only an attack on the two states of Song and Xu, it was not a large-scale operation, but the people in the court were not stupid. Everyone knew how important it was to capture the two states of Song and Xu to win the eastern capital Luoyang in the future, and the strategy of the Dasheng Dynasty's eastward advance, so Many officials from the DPRK and China came to see him off.

After all, they're not stupid either.

Not only was His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi among those who sent troops this time, the Princess of Qin was happy and pregnant with the emperor's eldest grandson, and the emperor gave numerous rewards; but because of a "little thing" in the palace, Han Shang Palace, who was leaning towards His Highness the Crown Prince, was decentralized. After that , Pei Xingyuan, the head of the Household Department, was promoted to the position of Minister of the Household Department, and several generals under Yu Wenye were promoted. This greatly expanded the power of the King of Qin, and for a time he was in the limelight.

Everyone also gradually discovered that although the victory in the Battle of Taiyuan allowed Yu Wenzhen to win the position of prince, if the Dasheng Dynasty continued to advance eastward and expand its sphere of influence, it was still the King of Qin that it could rely on.

So this time, many people came to see Shen Tutai off.

In the past, even if Yu Wenye went on an expedition in person, Shang Ruyi would just send him to the gate of the mansion and watch him go away. But this time, she followed Yu Wenye who was seeing off Shen Tutai all the way to the city gate and waited until the army set off. , she also climbed onto the city tower and watched the long snake-like team marching forward in a mighty manner under her feet. The orderly steps made the city tower tremble slightly. She subconsciously reached out and held onto the hard and cold city wall stacks.

"Are you okay?"

A warm chest immediately pressed against her shoulder. Shang Ruyi looked back and saw that Yu Wenye came to her side and calmly took one of her hands.

Shang Ruyi smiled, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Yu Wenye said: "I told you not to come. The army is marching out, the killing intent is too strong, and you are pregnant."

Shang Ruyi blinked and looked at him and said, "But didn't you say before that this child will also depend on his mother when he becomes a worm?"

"Ok?"

"Then I will let him see it early. Mothers are not afraid, so how can he be afraid of this?"

When Yu Wenye heard this, he immediately smiled.

After experiencing the hawthorn cake incident, some news seemed to have leaked out. The princes and wives who visited the house every day to greet them less and less. In the past half month, Shang Ruyi finally calmed down and was able to rest, so her stomach It also started to get bigger visibly to the naked eye.

Although she is not as pot-bellied as those pregnant women who are seven or eight months old, you can clearly see that her belly is slightly bulging.

You can even imagine how spectacular it will be in a few months.

While Yu Wenye was proud and satisfied, he was also more cautious than before. In normal times, he would not shy away from letting Shang Ruyi interact more with his subordinates, especially people in the military. But now, Shang Ruyi is so carefree, but on the contrary He must always worry about whether she was touched or blown by the wind.

The two of them fell completely.

So he said: "Yes, you are not afraid, he is not afraid, I am afraid."

Shang Ruyi smiled so hard that his eyes rolled up.

After laughing, she looked around again and said softly: "By the way, why didn't Mr. Pei come here today?"

They haven't seen each other for a while since the last time they met Pei Xingyuan at Pei's house. Regarding the people around Yu Wenye, apart from her brother, the one she is closest to is Pei Xingyuan, because this person is so optimistic and cute, just say a few words His words can make people laugh, and people always like to be close to such a little sun-like person.

Yu Wenye said: "He was promoted to Minister of Household Affairs and has a lot to do."

As he spoke, he sighed softly and said: "No matter whether it is the previous dynasty or this dynasty, he did not become the minister at such a young age. He is very proud now. I am afraid that he will make a careless mistake."

Shang Ruyi said softly: "Although Mr. Pei seems to be jumpy, he is still reliable in his work."

"..."

"It's good for us that he was promoted to minister."

Yu Wenye was right. For Pei Xingyuan, the official position of Minister of Hubu came too early. No matter in the previous dynasty or even the previous dynasty, there was no one in his twenties who could serve as Minister of Hubu. He was indeed a bit too glamorous. But Shang Ruyi understood that this was also because the emperor Yu Wenyuan came from the army and understood the relationship between war and food.

Nowadays, the prince and the king of Qin are divided into forces in the court. Except for Yu Mingyue's attack on him last time, nothing obvious has happened. But he must prevent such a thing from happening. After all, there have been too many generals in the past dynasties. Brave and good at fighting, he could have been undefeated, but he lost due to internal fighting at the rear.

In a war, especially a battle like Shen Tutai's departure from Guanxi and eastward, with a long front line, logistical supplies are very important.

Promoting Pei Xingyuan to the position of Minister of Household Affairs can effectively ensure the logistics of this war and prevent Shen Tutai's march from being disturbed by the rear. Then he only needs to concentrate on capturing the two states of Song and Xu.

Shang Ruyi covered his mouth and smiled softly: "He must be looking very proud now."

Yu Wenye also laughed and said: "Fortunately, only the officialdom is proud."

"Oh?"

Shang Ruyi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said: "What else?"

Yu Wenye glanced at her sideways, then looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to their conversation, then he leaned into her ear and whispered softly: "I heard that Su Qinglan was the host at Shenjuan Pavilion two days ago. He really We passed, but we ended up having another quarrel with that Liang Youying. If it weren't for that Jiang Wei who stopped him, he might not even be able to catch the minister."

"what?"

When Shang Ruyi heard this, his eyes lit up: "Really?"

"What are you lying to?"

"..."

"Moreover, the two of them are so troubled that they actually get together and quarrel every day."

Yu Wenye said, chuckled again, and said: "He is destined to be suppressed by this kind of woman in his life and will never be able to turn over."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, there was a hint of unspeakable sadness in her heart - of course she knew that when Lei Yu's life reached this point, he would no longer remember Pei Xingyuan, and Pei Xingyuan had already accepted all this, even if No matter how many worries and difficulties there were in the past, they are all gone.

Life is for living people. As long as you are still alive, you must keep moving forward to meet new people and new things. With new people and things, it is a new life.

So he said softly: "It's quite good for him to be like this."

Yu Wenye said: "Okay, okay, I'm just a little worried -"

At this point, a faint, vigilant light flashed in his eyes. Shang Ruyi was puzzled and asked softly: "What are you worried about?"

Yu Wenye glanced at her and wanted to say that he was worried about Liang Youying, but even he himself felt that this worry had no reason. It was probably just because Pei Xingyuan was too proud now, which reminded him of a common saying - when water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will overflow. Gain or loss.

Just thinking about it made him feel ridiculous. I am a person who doesn't believe in fate, so why am I thinking about those nagging things at this time?

It's better to worry about something real.

Then he said: "I'm a little worried about Shen Wuzheng."

"...!"

Speaking of this, Shang Ruyi's eyes darkened slightly.

Before the Battle of Taiyuan, Yu Wenye had asked the emperor to recommend Shen Wuzheng as the doctor of Bibu. However, because of the intervention of the Yu family, Shen Wuzheng was canonized as Weibei Road Marching Record Office and joined the army. Obviously, this official position was for Taiyuan. In fact, Yu Mingyue did take advantage of this opportunity to attack Shen Wuzheng in Changchun Palace, and Shang Ruyi almost broke with Yu Wenye because of this misunderstanding and was trapped in the Turks.

Now that the Battle of Taiyuan has ended, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Shen Wuzheng's knowledge and conduct make him a civil servant.

But until now, Yu Wenyuan has not been granted another official position.

If promoting Pei Xingyuan is to help Yu Wenye win military exploits and open up territory for the Dasheng Dynasty, then holding down Shen Wuzheng is to hold down Yu Wenye's corner, allowing them to move, but always limited.

It seems that Yu Wenyuan is also smart.

He wanted to use this son, but he couldn't let him be completely uncontrolled. Of course, for an emperor, even his own son couldn't be controlled, let alone someone like Yu Wenye.

Just when Shang Ruyi was feeling a little sad, the soldiers around them suddenly seemed to have seen something. They all turned back, saluted respectfully, and said: "Your Highness."

"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."

The two of them were shocked and immediately turned their heads.

A gust of fresh wind, with a gentle and peaceful breath that they were familiar with, rushed towards them. When they looked up, they saw Yu Wenxin wearing a white robe, climbing up the tower like a clear white cloud, and slowly walked to in front of them.

He said: "Second brother, younger brother and sister."

Yu Wenye's eyes trembled slightly, but he immediately smiled and said: "It turns out that the emperor also came to see Shen Tutai off. There were too many people just now, so I didn't see the emperor. Please forgive me."

Yu Wenzhen shook his head lightly. Compared with the footsteps down the tower, which still shook the earth, his expression seemed very indifferent, as if no matter how big the thunder was, he could not be moved. But when he looked down at Shang Ruyi's slightly bulging belly, his calm eyes narrowed slightly.

After a while, he said: "Brothers and sisters, are you okay?"
