Noble First Daughter-in-law

While everyone was holding their breath, Yu Wenyuan took out a letter from the box. He quickly opened it and read it. Then, his piercing eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen something. He couldn't believe it, but it also made him so happy that even the hand holding the letter trembled.

Everyone's heartbeats also trembled.

But this is not over yet.

After reading the letter, Yu Wenyuan temporarily put the letter aside and carefully reached into the box again. This time, he took out a picture!

Although they were sitting far away, everyone present had sharp eyes, especially Yu Wenye, who had eyes as sharp as a falcon. He immediately saw clearly that there were some eye-catching curved lines on the scroll that was softly unfolded in Yu Wenyuan's hand. of dots.

That is clearly a map!

The secret report sent from Tongguan should be written by Chu Zhengfei. Why is there a map in it?

Where's the map?

Moreover, when Yu Wenye judged that it was a map, he also saw signs of being torn on one edge of the map. Obviously, it was not a complete map, but was divided, maybe only half of it. , or a fraction of the picture.

What on earth is this——

Just when everyone was puzzled but did not dare to speak easily, and the atmosphere in the Qinqin Building became tense for a moment, Yu Wenyuan suddenly took a deep breath, then smiled faintly and said: "Everything must be done beforehand. Damn it, it seems that someone has helped us prepare."

Help with preparations?

Everyone seemed to have noticed something, but Yu Wenyuan slowly closed the obviously incomplete map, put it back into the box together with the letter next to it, closed it and handed it to Eunuch Yu, then raised his head to look. He smiled at the people with burning eyes and said, "Let's have a drink first."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Yu Wenyuan didn't even tell them what he had received, obviously he wanted to hide it, but the people present were either his son or his daughter-in-law, who could be said to be the closest people in the entire dynasty. Do they have to hide it like this?

If you really want to hide it, then why did you say the sentence just now was obviously a reminder?

Everyone was puzzled, but the emperor had already said this, so they did not dare to ask more questions, and they could not be negligent. They all hurriedly raised their glasses and drank together. Only Shang Ruyi took a small sip, while Yu Wenyuan seemed to be in a very happy mood. He actually drank the full glass of wine in one gulp. After finishing the drink, his tiger eyes were smiling, and the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles.

Obviously, that thing just now satisfied him very much.

The general guarding Tongguan is Chu Zhengfei. What secret report did he send to make the emperor so happy?

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but look at Yu Wensu across from him - Chu Zhengfei was from Yu Dingxing, and both Yu Dingxing and Yu Mingyue were firmly on the side of his prince. Could he have sent something over? Not sure?

Judging from the slightly frowning look on his face, it seemed like this.

Did you not tell him yet, or did you not tell him at all?

There was another burst of speculation in Shang Ruyi's heart. Just when he couldn't figure it out, he suddenly heard Yu Wenyuan say with a smile after having another drink: "Ruyi."

Shang Ruyi immediately came back to his senses and asked, "What are your orders, father?"

Yu Wenyuan smiled and waved his hand and said: "What are you saying? I just remembered that you said you wanted to go to Dayan Temple to worship Buddha and pray for blessings. I thought about it and you should go there too. Let's wait a few days. When the weather gets better, you should prepare yourself, fast and bathe, and I will personally send someone to take you there."

"..."

"It's a good idea to go see an old friend."

Shang Ruyi's breath was choked.

Before, because she knew that Chu Ruoyan missed Empress Dowager Jiang, she had the courage to ask Yu Wenyuan to go to Dali Temple to worship the Buddha, but Yu Wenyuan refused. Although she felt sad, she also knew that Yu Wenyuan's attachment to Dayan Temple, especially to the Empress Dowager, was It was a taboo for people in the erotic palace, so they did not dare to say anything more. Even Yu Wenye said that unless there was "something extraordinary", it would be impossible for Yu Wenyuan to allow people in the court to easily contact the mother and son in Dayan Temple.

But now, he didn't dare to mention it again. He actually took the initiative and allowed himself to pass.

this--

Shang Ruyi was a little dumbfounded for a moment. Fortunately, Yu Wenye beside her coughed slightly, and she immediately came back to her senses. She hurriedly stood up and saluted Yu Wenyuan: "Thank you, my dear father!"

After saying that, she slowly sat down, but because she was too shocked, her heartbeat was thundering, and her hands and feet were weak. When she sat down, Yu Wenye stretched out his hand to help her, and then she could barely sit still, and Shang Ruyi raised his head and glanced at him. , the eyes of the two people met, both flickering.

It seems that the secret report in the box just now is indeed an "extraordinary thing."

However, what kind of "extraordinary thing" could make Yu Wenyuan so happy that he could even think of a request he made half a month ago that touched his nerves, and make an exception to allow it?

Although there was such a small "interlude", because Yu Wenyuan was so happy, the atmosphere of this Mid-Autumn Night Banquet was better than usual. Yu Wenyuan talked and laughed with his son and daughter-in-law, and it was rare that he drank a few more drinks. By the time the banquet was over, he was already a little tipsy, but he still managed to maintain the majesty of the emperor. Even when he stood up to leave, he looked back at Eunuch Jade, who had been following him closely.

What he looked at in particular was the box he had been holding in his hands, not daring to let go.

Seeing Eunuch Yu protecting the box, Yu Wenyuan's eyes smiled even more. He waved his hand to Eunuch Yu and motioned for him to take it and put it back in his Liangyi Palace, and then he was about to leave. Yu Wensu and others immediately They walked out from behind the desk and knelt down to see each other off.

Yu Wenyuan suddenly turned around and said, "Ruoyan must have been grounded for several months. I was too strict with her before. I think she also felt sorry for Ruyi."

The sudden mention of Chu Ruoyan made Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi even more surprised.

Shang Ruyi was so angry that he didn't dare to take a breath, but Yu Wenye said calmly: "Your Majesty, Father Lao, misses her."

Yu Wenyuan sighed: "You can also go and see her. In the past few months, she has been wronged." After that, he waved his hands and left.

Hearing this, Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi hurriedly kowtowed and thanked her. Shang Ruyi's heartbeat almost didn't feel like her own, but at this moment, she instinctively turned her head and glanced at Yu Wenzhen next to her. She only saw two eyes of him. It was as calm as water, without any ripples, but there was a slight frown between the brows.

Then, they slowly stood up.

However, they did not speak immediately. They both looked outside the building at the same time. It was not until Yu Wenyuan's back slowly disappeared into the night that the two of them turned around and faced each other. Yu Wenzhen smiled and said: "Congratulations, second brother."

"This is not a happy event, it's just that nothing bad happened."

"That's true."

"If we want to talk about the real happy event, I'm afraid it should be that -" At this point, Yu Wenye stared into Yu Wenzhen's eyes and said, "Brother, do you know?"

Yu Wenzhen smiled faintly and said: "Second brother, Brother Wei is sitting here like you. What has Father said and seen? We both see and hear the same things. What else can Brother Wei know?"

Yu Wenye also smiled and said: "So that's it. I just thought that maybe the eldest brother would have some ability to predict the unknown."

"...!"

Yuwen Sui's expression condensed slightly, his eyes flickering, as if he glanced at Shang Ruyi, but the next moment, he smiled calmly and said: "Second brother, you are joking, I have practiced Buddhism before, but I am not a Buddha. "

"This is true."

"Okay, it's getting late. If you don't want to admire the moon, my second brother should go back first. My brother and sister are heavy and it's not good to work too hard."

Shang Ruyi did not expect that he would suddenly mention her, and immediately said: "Thank you for your concern, brother."

Yu Wenzuo smiled at her, turned around and left gracefully.

The figure that had been watching his back disappeared into the night. Yu Wenye breathed a sigh of relief, and Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time. The two looked at each other, but neither of them wanted to say anything. We walked out of Qingqin Building together with heavy thoughts.

Outside, it was already dark.

There were two little eunuchs walking in front holding lanterns to provide light for them, and Yu Wenye was holding her hand all the time, so Shang Ruyi still walked very steadily.

After a while, they passed by the door of Jinyuyuan.

She subconsciously glanced inside. Tonight, the lights inside were not closed as early as usual, but there was only one candle, which looked dim and lonely. I think the people inside were also admiring the moon, but it was just like this The full moon would only make her feel more incomplete in her life.

Shang Ruyi said softly: "Would you like-"

As if he knew what she was going to say, as soon as he opened his mouth, Yu Wenye said solemnly: "It's too late, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Alright."

Shang Ruyi nodded and left with him.

Although they also wanted to tell Chu Ruoyan the good news, it was already late today and there was no point in telling her. On the contrary, they urgently needed some time to sort out their thoughts.

Soon, they returned to Qianqiu Palace.

The two of them sat at the table, motionless, not even taking a sip of the tea brought by Wuxue. After a while, Shang Ruyi spoke first: "What about the picture -"

Yu Wenye said: "It was sent from Tongguan, but it is probably not an ordinary map that makes my father so happy."

Shang Ruyi murmured: "It should be what my father needs most now, or in other words, it can relieve my father's worries and solve problems."

Yu Wenye also said: "The biggest problem facing my father now is to march eastward to Luoyang."

While he was talking, the candle on the table exploded with a "pop" sound. Shang Ruyi went to get a pair of scissors and murmured while cutting the candle wick: "Besides, my father also said that in advance If it is not established beforehand, it will be ruined. Someone will prepare it for us."

Just at this moment, the candle flames rose.

The two people's eyes lit up and they looked at each other at the same time: "So, that picture is-"
