Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 41 Not to Xu's Taste

Xu Junyan knew that he got this position because of factionalism in the DPRK and China.

Each faction refused to let the other party eat this piece of meat, and finally it fell on him, the concubine of the Duke's Mansion who had just returned from Youzhou and had no foundation in the court.

Unexpectedly, there is also the handwriting of Duan Wang.

Xu Junyan raised his head and glanced at Zhou Chengrui. An idle prince who has always been weak and sick, and has a reputation for elegance, talent, and reputation in Luoyang City?

I'm afraid not at all...

"Xu is just a mere martial artist, the prince praised Xu."

Xu Junyan's words were still not salty, and Zhou Chengrui's hand holding the cup increased a bit.

Compared with the eldest son Xu Junhui, the servant of the official department, this young master of An Guogong's mansion made him feel that he had no way to do anything.

"General Xu is not a martial artist. A while ago, Cheng Lao Hanlin also mentioned to me the splendid essays written by General Xu back then, saying that few people can compare with them nowadays, but I really want to feast my eyes on General Xu's calligraphy. .”

Xu Junyan gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and chuckled, "Xu is used to holding a sword now, so he can't write that kind of characters anymore, he can't compare with those literati and refined scholars, I'm afraid he can't fulfill the prince's wish .”

Xu Junyan's words were impeccable, and he pushed away from him far away, Zhou Chengrui's expression turned pale.

"General Xu thinks this king is unworthy?"

Xu Junyan also cooled down, "Xu dare not."

The tone was so cold that the atmosphere froze for a moment.

Zhou Chengrui felt very annoyed at the thought of his uncle Li Rang, the governor of the Zuo Army, who had always held a wait-and-see attitude.

Now that he has hit a wall with Xu Junyan again, he is even more unhappy.

He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said coldly: "This king can make General Xu climb up by stepping on everyone, and he can also make General Xu fall down."

Now that the words are out, there is no need to beat around the bush, Xu Junyan secretly thought that this King Duan is really not an ordinary person.

But I never thought about relying on a superior position. Zhennanwei may be the king of Duan, but Zhou Chengrui has nothing to do with taking down the entire Suzaku camp.

Thinking of what His Majesty showed when he was fishing with him, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to sit still for too long.

The situation in the DPRK and China is indeed chaotic, but if it is not chaotic, how can they fish in troubled waters?

Zhou Chengrui's ambition could not be concealed for too long.

"Thank you, my lord, for reminding me. Xu is very grateful. Although this wine is good, it doesn't suit Xu's taste."

Xu Junyan got up and said goodbye.

Walk to the door and stop.

"I'm afraid the lord is also interested in this wine... the ambition is not here, Xu also wants to remind the lord that if you drink too much of this drunken orchid, the strong wine will be unpalatable."

After the people left, Zhou Chengrui stood up with a icy face, overturned the mahogany high table in front of him, and stomped hard on the white jade bottle with orchid pattern on the ground that contained drunk orchid incense.

The man entered the door and knelt carefully to tidy up the mess.

"Get out, my king!"

The clerk bowed his head and hurriedly backed away, whispering to the woman at the door: "Quickly invite Miss Zui Lan."

A moment later, the stunning woman exuding a faint orchid fragrance gently pushed open the sandalwood door.

She was wearing a brocade dress embroidered with gold and white patterns of epiphyllum and rain, and her waist was tied with a bright yellow ribbon, making her figure more concave and convex, and more attractive.

A little makeup on the face makes it delicate and gorgeous, the corners of the mouth are slightly hooked, and the smile is captivating.

"My lord... are you here to see Lan'er today?"

Zui Lan's voice was soft and charming, she closed the door with her backhand, and walked lightly towards Zhou Chengrui who was in front of the window.

A pair of flamboyant hands gently caressed Zhou Chengrui's Chinese dress embroidered with dark patterns, and gradually stretched forward with a three-point tease, groping all the way, and lighting the fire all the way.

Zhou Chengrui turned his back to the beautiful woman, a sarcasm flashed in his slender peach eyes, and a smile crossed the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his hand to hold down the restless slender hand.

"Is Lan'er in a hurry?"

With his left hand, he pulled the beautiful woman behind him swiftly, and with the other hand, he had torn off the thin blouse with golden silk and white patterns, and got into the silky silk apron, the creamy skin touched his eyes. flame.

"Well...don't...my lord...don't..."

The wriggling waist was extremely enchanting, and Zhou Chengrui's breathing became heavier with his vaguely moaning and resisting.

Enduring the heat all over his body, he picked up the woman who was as soft as bones and with charming eyes like silk, and strode towards the inner room separated by the bead curtain.

The exquisite and luxurious rosewood-inlaid shell-carved landscape thousand-work bed made rhythmic sounds continuously, mixed with the low voices of women and the low growls of men from time to time...

In the moonlight shining outside the window, the charming room becomes clearer and warmer...

At this time, in the bamboo forest side courtyard of Duke Anguo's mansion, Xu Junyan was facing the black iron sword hanging on the wall.

Xu Ming quickly walked into the study, "Master, according to the news from the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion, the three lieutenants have been sent to the frontier."

"Oh? Hang Zeping has done a clean job. In Meng Tian's Xuanwu camp...he has arranged for the two lieutenants to be placed in?"

Xu Ming said with a smile: "Master, I'm too worried. To deal with the Xuanwu Camp, Hang Dudu is much more anxious than the master. The families of the two lieutenants are probably already under the control of Hang Dudu. They are waiting for Meng Tian's Xuanwu Camp It's a mess!"

Xu Junyan took down the black iron long sword hanging on the wall, pulled out the blade and wiped it carefully with a brocade cloth.

"Luoyang is no match for the frontier battlefield."

When Xu Ming thought of the fight and struggle in Youzhou, his blood boiled for a while.

The long sword in his hand reflected the moonlight outside the window and flashed into Xu Junyan's eyes. The cold light was as sharp as a sharp sword, breaking his hair!
At this time, in Wutong Garden, Jiang Jinyan was wearing moon-white pajamas and a thin light purple feather gauze cloak, sitting on the arhat couch covered with a thin mattress, doing embroidery work with a small stretcher.

Most of the little tiger has been embroidered, and the black and white eyes are vivid, very pleasing.

Carefully curled up and leaned against Jiang Jinyan's side, squinting his eyes comfortably for a nap, the sound of snoring was especially clear in the quiet inner room.

"Miss, our brother Cheng is here." Lianchun and Xiqiu entered the inner room one after the other, and the little Jincheng in Xiqiu's arms opened his hands to Jiang Jinyan with babbles.

"What a heartless little one. I've been hugging her for a long time. As long as I see the eldest lady, I don't care about anything." Xi Qiu smiled and handed Xiao Jincheng over.

Jiang Jinyan quickly put the needle, thread and small stretcher in his hand on the embroidery pier aside, and hugged Xiao Jincheng.

Xiao Jincheng looks good, but now he has gained a lot of weight. He always likes to kiss Jiang Jinyan's cheek and slobber all over his face.

Jiang Jinyan looked at the pink and tender little person in his arms, and his heart immediately warmed up a lot, "Brother Cheng has eaten well these two days? Are you still making trouble at night?"

Lianchun and Xiqiu were naturally happy to see the young lady value the young master.

"Miss, don't worry, the young master has eaten well in the past two days, and the wet nurse said he has a big appetite."

"Yeah, now that it's cold today, everyone in our house is making winter clothes for the young master, and Aunt Yun from Tingfeng Building over there also sent a lot of small clothes. Let me see, the young master changes new clothes day and night. It can’t be replaced.”

Jiang Jinyan pursed his lips and smiled, "Children will grow when they see the wind. It's hard work for you. I have also made several pieces here. Just embroider the cuffs with dark patterns. I will send Xue Yan to them."

Xue Yan was learning how to embroider bamboo with Yu Mo, raised her head and joked: "According to me, the young master doesn't know how to embroider, but the young lady doesn't agree, she insists on embroidering all of them, and always says that the embroidery is not good, and has changed several times. Woolen cloth."

Yu Mo poked her on the forehead, "You girl is all about talking, and you have the worst female workers in Wutong Garden. You bamboo looks like ebony chopsticks to me."

Xue Yan blushed, she put down the bun, turned around, hugged Xin Xin and sat down next to the plum lacquer table with snacks.

"I think it's better to be careful in the whole yard, you will all bully people."

Careful of disturbing her dream, she meowed twice and jumped onto the plum lacquer table. Seeing that it was a few mung bean cakes, she lost interest and yelled a few times towards Yuebai Scattering Flowers.

Jiang Jinyan understood it at a glance, and said with a smile: "Be careful, this is going to trouble our Miss Xueyan to fetch milk soup."

Yu Mo also laughed, "What a pair of greedy cats."

Lianchun and Xiqiu couldn't help laughing either.

Nanny Fang and Mama Xu picked up the curtain and came in. They also laughed when they saw the singing and laughing in the room.

Xu's mother smiled and said: "What's the matter? Laughing like this? Could it be that Xueyan and Xinxin robbed food?"

Xue Yan got up with a blushing face, stomped her feet and walked towards the door curtain.

"You all bully me! I'll go and get milk soup for Xiaoxiao."

Carefully looking at the people in the room, he jumped off the little dog and went to Jiang Jinyan's feet. It didn't dare to go to Jiang Jinyan's side right now.

Xiao Jincheng drooled when he saw the fluffy Xinxin and wanted to hug him, Xinxin was very displeased and always avoided him.

After Jiang Jinyan knew his cautious temper, he felt relieved a lot. Sometimes when Xiao Jincheng came, he didn't need to separate him carefully.

In the small pavilion near the water in Yicui Pavilion, Jiang Jinqian frowned and stared at the stack of female rings in front of her. Now her mother forced her to copy the female rings every day to meditate.

Thinking that she didn't get a handle on Yu Qingxian, she secretly hated for a while, the tip of the Langhao pen paused, a drop of ink had already smeared on the paper, and the word was ruined again.

Putting down the pen, Jiang Jinqian crumpled the stained paper into a ball, feeling restless.

She walked to the window facing the water, and the night breeze finally relieved her a little of her irritability.

"Qian'er! It's cool by the window, why don't you put on some clothes!"

Mrs. Wang came in, walked behind her with a gold embroidered fluffy and brocade cloak, and put the cloak on her.

"Mother, my daughter still... can't calm down."

Wang looked at Jiang Jinqian's flawless white jade face.

After all, he is young, his muscles are fat, his breath is blue, his waist is slender and his wrists are slender. On his head, there is only a simple Japanese bun, with a hollow silver hairpin inserted obliquely, and tassels sprinkled on the blue silk. He is more beautiful than when he was young. charming...

If Qian'er was born as the daughter of the Jing'an Houfu, with this appearance and talent, if she enters the palace or enters a certain palace in the future, she will be outstanding.

Qian'er is almost 13 years old, and she will be ready in two more years.

A marriage negotiation is about to happen soon, if he endures it any longer, who can Qian'er marry?
A poor family?

Or, like myself, to be a concubine living in a deep house with a high family?

No!Wang shook her head heavily, she couldn't let Qian'er do this!

"Mom? What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Jinqian looked at his mother with a gloomy expression, and asked with a frown, "Dad hasn't visited mother these days?"

Wang said with a wry smile: "Flowers are not popular for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days. Your father has so many concubines, why do you have to come to your mother every day? Qian'er remembers that after Qian'er goes out, These things are unavoidable, you have to learn to control the backyard."

Jiang Jinqian raised his head and asked, "Qian'er understands... Mother, what should we do now? I heard from Mother Li that Jiang Jinyan and that mother Xu have taken away all the management power in Mother's hands before! Mother! You just let her do what she wants!" slap in the face?!"

Wang patted Jiang Jinqian's hand softly, "Qian'er, mother has her own plan, let her be proud for a while, we can't just care about this little bit, if we want to bring her down, we will lose everything!"

As soon as Jiang Jinqian heard this, she knew that there was a solution, and she held Wang's hand in surprise, "Mother, do you have an idea?"

The fierce look in Wang's eyes was thick.
