Noble First Daughter-in-law

The moment the three words "Dayan Temple" were spoken, the entire Qingqin Building fell silent.

Yu Wenyuan's hand holding the wine glass paused, and the wine almost spilled. However, he was a man who had been through battles for a long time, so he immediately calmed down. He slowly brought the wine glass to his lips and took a sip, then thought about it again. , then pursed his lips and smiled: "The weather has been too hot recently, you'd better stay in the palace."

"Can--"

Shang Ruyi wanted to say something else, but Yu Wenye beside him coughed lightly and said, "Ruyi, just listen to your father."

Shang Ruyi turned to look at him, only to see him quietly shaking his head at himself. After hesitating for a long time, he looked at Yu Wenyuan who was still smiling, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were obviously much deeper. , Shang Ruyi could only sigh softly in his heart and said, "My son, I know."

Yu Wenyuan then smiled and nodded.

Despite this small episode, the meal was still very enjoyable. When the banquet was over, Yu Wenyuan specially ordered: "Go slowly when you go back. It's getting dark, so ask someone to bring more lanterns."

Yu Wenye said: "Father, don't worry."

Everyone then slowly left the Qingqin Building.

When walking back, Chang Wan and Tu Sheer each carried a lantern to clear the way in front, while Yu Wenye held Shang Ruyi's hand, and the group walked forward in the night, walking very quietly until they passed by again. Shang Ruyi took a look inside Jinyu Garden. The doors and windows were already closed, and there wasn't even a single light. He couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Wenye looked down at her and said, "Are you still sad about this matter?"

"Not sad either,"

Shang Ruyi said, looking up at him again, pouting slightly: "You didn't speak for me just now."

Seeing her aggrieved and unwilling look, Yu Wenye smiled and shook his head: "So, do you really want to take the opportunity of going to Dayan Temple to worship Buddha to give that box of horseshoe cakes to the Queen Mother?"

"Ah."

"Nonsense."

"..."

"Although my father loves you very much, he can't allow everything. As Princess Qin, you should understand their identities and the meaning they represent. They are extraordinary. If nothing unusual happens, my father is No one will be allowed to touch them.”

Shang Ruyi was a little unconvinced when she heard the word "nonsense", but after hearing it, she sighed again.

In fact, she also understands that this request is indeed a bit risky. If it were normal, I am afraid that Yu Wenyuan would not be so kind to her. She is indeed a bit "arrogant", but sometimes, when she softens her heart, she becomes Be bold. She sighed, reached out and gently touched her belly, and then said softly: "I just, probably because I am also pregnant, can better understand the feeling of mother and child connecting."

"..."

"Not only is the mother concerned about her children, but as a child, how can she not miss her mother?"

"..."

"If the Queen Mother can really eat the horseshoe cake made by Mrs. Chu, not only will the Queen Mother be happy, but Mrs. Chu will also feel a lot relieved. I always feel that this time, she has been wronged in vain, and I feel a little sad. disturbed."

Listening to her gentle words, Yu Wenye's eyes softened, but he was still calm. He clenched the slender hand with a little force and said softly: "I know you care about them wholeheartedly, but you have to Remember clearly, in the palace, you must protect yourself first before you can consider others."

"..."

"Especially this matter, it is extraordinary. If there is no extraordinary thing, my father will not let people go."

"..."

"You, don't touch his reverse scales."

Shang Ruyi actually understood this a long time ago. At this time, he just nodded slightly and was led forward by Yu Wenye.

After returning to Qianqiu Palace, Wuxue had already made the bed, but neither of them fell asleep immediately. After all, the emperor had just given a banquet to Qingqin upstairs. No matter how happy he was, he couldn't let go of eating and drinking, so Yu Wenye He was not full, and Shang Ruyi was a little hungry because his request to go to Dali Temple was not accepted. In addition, he was uneasy and did not eat much. At this time, he was a little hungry, so he asked Tu Sheer to bring Chu Ruoyan. A box of snacks was brought over and the two of them shared it.

After eating, I drank tea for a while and calmed down before washing up and going to bed.

Until the candlelight was extinguished, the entire inner hall fell into darkness. Yu Wenye also hugged the warm body in his arms, gently caressing her back, and closed his eyes, just as he was about to fall asleep, Suddenly I heard Shang Ruyi whisper in his ear: "Tell me, what extraordinary thing could happen?"

In the night, Yu Wenye chuckled.

At first, I just thought that Shang Ruyi was a little whimsical, but who knew that just over half a month later, an "extraordinary thing" really happened.

This day is mid-autumn in August.

Yu Wenyuan once again gave a banquet at Qingqinlou, but this time it was not just Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi, but also the prince Yuwen Sui. Moreover, before the banquet, he also took them for a tour along the Thousand Steps Corridor. . At this time, the sky was just getting dark, but there was already a bright moon hanging in the sky. It was shining brightly and brightly. The bright moonlight spread on the corridor, like frost and snow, and reflected the sparkling water in the mountain pool under the corridor. In addition to the trembling bright moon reflected in it, it seems as if thousands of stars have been crushed and fallen into the pool.

Yu Wenyuan was rarely interested in admiring the moon, so he sighed: "What a beautiful moon."

After saying that, he seemed to have remembered something, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "It's a pity that people with a full moon are not round."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi raised their heads and looked at each other at the same time. They knew that Yu Wenyuan was thinking of Yu Wencheng who went out with the army. Before the two of them had time to say anything, Yu Wenzhen, who was following Yu Wenyuan, had already whispered. He said: "Is your father waiting for the good news of your third brother's meritorious service?"

A smile immediately appeared in Yu Wenyuan's eyes, and then there was a lonely light.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly came back to his senses, as if he felt that as an emperor, showing that he missed his son was a bit affectionate and lost the majesty of the emperor, so he waved his hands and smiled: "What meritorious service? I just hope this kid doesn’t get into trouble.”

Yu Wenzuo said: "Father, don't worry, my third brother has grown up."

Hearing this, Yu Wenyuan sighed softly and said, "Yes, he is not young anymore."

This sigh obviously revealed a touch of softness that did not belong to the emperor, but only belonged to his father. Shang Ruyi immediately realized it and said with a smile: "Is your father worried about your third brother's marriage?"

Yu Wenyuan smiled and nodded, and said: "The daughters of the good families I told you before are all good girls who are well-informed and knowledgeable about etiquette. This time, if he really does meritorious service and comes back, if he comes back, If people like him, it’s time to let him think about marriage.”

Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "The one chosen by my father is naturally good."

Because there were no other female elders in the family, and Aunt Hui was temporarily left out, as Yu Wencheng's second sister-in-law, she was called by Yu Wenyuan a few days ago to discuss the matter. The women selected by the emperor were all from well-known families, well-educated, gentle and courteous, and were fully qualified to become Princess Qi. Shang Ruyi was just worried that Yu Wencheng was wild and untamed, and even if he got married, he might not be able to settle down.

But as the second sister-in-law, you have to do what you should do.

Yu Wenye heard their conversation and said with a smile: "So you also went to help my father select people."

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "I don't understand. I'm just going to cause trouble for my father."

Yu Wenyuan smiled and waved his hands and said: "If I am as wise as you two brothers, if it weren't for the fact that she is pregnant and cannot work hard, I would still want her to——"

While speaking, he hesitated for a moment, then immediately smiled and covered it up.

Yu Wenzuo's eyes on the side seemed to flicker for a moment. He looked deeply at Shang Ruyi and then turned his head. If Yuwen Cheng comes back this time and really chooses a well-known girl as Princess Qi, then among the three brothers, only Prince Yu Wensuo will not have a formal wife. This will not make Yu Wenyuan worried. .

He should have intended to marry Yu Mingyue before, but he changed his mind because of Yu Mingyue's nonsense at the celebration banquet. Even though he later gave Yu Wenzhen two good concubines, there was no one around the prince who could take care of the matter. It was always him. There was a knot in my heart. Since Shang Ruyi had already been asked to help select the third daughter-in-law, it was not impossible for the eldest daughter-in-law to let her participate in the consultation.

But, it’s really not possible.

After all, there was such an embarrassing past between Shang Ruyi and Yu Wenzhen. Even though Shang Ruyi was pregnant now and Yu Wenzhen had two Liang Di around him, no one mentioned the past, but it was still awkward once he remembered it.

Shang Ruyi glanced at Yu Wenzhen. Under the moonlight, he was dressed elegantly in white. His handsome face was outlined by the moonlight and became more and more gentle. His whole person seemed to be made of moonlight. But those clear eyes were reflected in the moonlight. The bottom is almost transparent, as if a layer of frost has condensed, and there is an inexplicable coldness that makes it impossible to tell where and who he is looking at.

The vast expanse of confusion exuded a bone-chilling coldness.

But Shang Ruyi felt inexplicably that although he was facing Yu Wenyuan, his cold eyes seemed to be looking at her. But when she hesitated to look away, Yu Wenyuan seemed to have predicted something in advance and turned his face. Turned to the other side.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little dull.

This time, it was Yu Wenye who broke the silence. He said, "Father, the sky is getting dark. Let's go back first."

Yu Wenyuan immediately laughed and said: "Yes, Yue Ye has almost rewarded me."

After saying that, he waved his hands and led the two brothers and Shang Ruyi down the Qianbu Corridor and towards the Qinqin Building. Because Shang Ruyi's belly was much bigger than before, Yu Wenyuan specially asked Eunuch Yu to A young eunuch was arranged to hold a lantern for her nearby to light up the way forward. Even so, Yu Wenye stayed step by step, holding her hand and walking together. Yu Wenzhen only walked two or three steps in front of them and only looked back. After a glance, he said nothing and just walked forward.

After a while, they returned to Qingqin Building.

Although the sky has completely darkened, the lights inside the Qinqin Building are brightly lit. The lofts on the upper and lower floors are all lit with lanterns, making the small building brightly illuminated. Eunuch Yu follows Yu Wenyuan while serving, While they were still giving silent instructions to the little eunuch behind them, as soon as they reached the door, a group of palace maids came forward to greet them.

Just as the four of them were about to walk in, a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps suddenly sounded in the night behind them, breaking the tranquility.

Yu Wenyuan couldn't help but frown.

Eunuch Yu immediately stepped forward, pointed outside and said, "Who is running around there?"

I saw a little eunuch running hurriedly out of the night. Although this move disturbed the emperor, the two highnesses, and Princess Qin, he was not frightened. Instead, he looked at him with a face full of joy. Eunuch Yu whispered a few words.

When Eunuch Yu heard this, his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up as if a lamp had been lit.

Yu Wenyuan said: "What's wrong?"

Eunuch Yu took a document from the little eunuch's hand, turned around and knelt down to Yu Wenyuan with great joy, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, good news from Songzhou!"

As soon as they heard the word "good news", everyone cheered up. Yu Wenyuan walked over in two steps, took the document from his hand, opened it in twos and twos, and only glanced at it roughly, with a look on his face. A joyful smile immediately appeared, but he didn't say anything immediately. Instead, he read it again as if to confirm it again, as if he was afraid that he would make a mistake by misreading a word or two.

Yu Wenye next to him could no longer hold himself back: "Father——"

This time, Yu Wenyuan finally read the text on the victory report again to confirm that he had read it correctly. Then he raised his head and said with a smile: "Songzhou surrenders!"

"This is great!"

Shang Ruyi was surprised and happy, his eyes widened.

Yu Wenyuan also said with a smile: "Yes, Shen Tutai is a good person."

As he spoke, he held the letter tightly in his hands, as if he wanted to hold the fruits of victory tightly in his hands, and led the three of them to turn around and walk into the Qingqin Building, saying as they walked: " After he occupied Xuzhou, he kept his troops stationary and only maintained a stalemate with Fan Chengen. From several exchanges of letters, it was clear that although Fan Chengen intended to surrender, those around him were unwilling and wanted to persuade Fan Chengen to completely surrender to Luoyang."

Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi looked at each other, their eyebrows frowning in unison.

Yu Wenzhen, who had been silent all the time, said: "If this is really the case, it would be too disadvantageous for us."

Yu Wenyuan said: "Yes, so Shen Tutai made a decisive decision and sent people to sneak into Songzhou and kill those few people who proposed to return to Luoyang."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.

Is this possible?

Although the facts are now in front of her, she has different thoughts in her heart - at this critical moment, Shen Tutai sent people to kill the officials in Songzhou City, which might urge Fan Chengen to make a decision, but this matter He is also very sensitive. Once Fan Chengen feels that he is cruel or feels threatened, he may really turn to Luoyang in anger.

By that time, they will really be at a disadvantage, as Yu Wenzhen said.

Sure enough, as she feared, Yu Wenzhen also asked: "Won't he anger Fan Chengen by doing this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Yu Wenye murmuring: "Shen Tutai will not take action casually. If he takes action, he must be sure of victory, and the people he killed must have been selected."

Yu Wenyuan smiled and said, "You are right."

To take care of Shang Ruyi's health tonight, the Mid-Autumn Banquet was only held on the first floor. They walked in and sat down quickly. After Yu Wenyuan sat down, he continued: "After he sent people to kill those people, he also sent those people The evidence of collusion with Wang Shaoqiu was put in front of Fan Chengen."

With that said, Yu Wenyuan looked down at the letter in his hand and said, "The one who inquired about the news was Nie Chong, and the one who did it was Shantong'er."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately understood why Fan Chengen surrendered.

He was originally a loyal person to the emperor, so he mistakenly believed the rumors that he had committed regicide and sent troops to kill him; but later, at the Dayan Temple Dharma Assembly, the evil deeds of the Wang brothers who committed regicide were made known to the world. He must have known about it, so he would definitely hate the Wang brothers. A few days ago, Wang Shaoji died in Shuishen Mountain. Only Wang Shaoqiu escaped with the remaining troops. At that time, they guessed that he should have gone east to join Liang Shide. This is why Fan Chengen is so close to Luoyang, but has not been there until now. The reason for joining Liang Shide.

Now, knowing that Wang Shaoqiu's hand had actually reached out to Songzhou, it was naturally impossible for him to agree.

In this case, he only had one choice left.

It means surrendering to Dasheng!

After listening to what Yu Wenyuan said, Yu Wenye picked up the wine glass on the table that was already filled with fine wine, stood up and said: "This time we captured Songzhou without bloodshed, everything was protected by the power of my father. I would like to take this glass, Congratulations to my father!"

Yu Wenyuan was already happy. When he heard what he said, he was even more happy and picked up the wine glass.

Shang Ruyi also took advantage of the situation and stood up, raised his cup and said: "My son, I also congratulate my father. This time I have captured the two states of Song and Xu. In the future, it will be easy to move eastward and capture Luoyang. My father's great dynasty will surely be powerful all over the world." , will last forever!"

These words made Yu Wenyuan burst into laughter.

If before, he was happy to confer Shen Tutai because the opponent handled the situation properly and it was advantageous to control the troops, then this time he was happy because the victory in this battle was crucial to the Dasheng Dynasty. He It is impossible to only hold a corner of Guanzhong all the time. We must march eastward and conquer the world. Luoyang is the eastern capital where Chu Yang has been running for more than ten years. It is also the center of the world. Only by winning there can his dynasty become a complete one. , unified dynasty.

"well said!"

After speaking, Yu Wenyuan toasted with the two of them.

Although he also opened his mouth, Shang Ruyi hindered his body and only took a shallow sip. Yu Wenyuan and Yu Wenye drank it all in one gulp. After finishing the glass, Yu Wenyuan turned his head again and smiled. He said to Yu Wenzei: "Zei'er, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Today, two chapters are merged into one chapter
