Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 57
"If you think Luoyang is not good, I can send you back to Jin'an and then go to Jiangnan."

Xu Ming sighed, this time it's not a joke, I don't know how the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is, and according to the master's opinion, maybe it's going to use force.

King Xuan has been in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and his foundation has been stabilized. Even the Lanling Xiao family has to retreat, so it is so easy to deal with.

This will only be more difficult than the battlefield in Youzhou...

Xia He flicked the rein, walked up to him and said, "Why can't I go! Can't you and senior brother protect me? Besides, I'm not bad at skills, and I can protect myself!"

Xu Ming shook his head, his handsome face showed a rare determination, he did not give in, "Xia He, stop messing around, this is business, I will send you back to Jin'an tomorrow."

Tomorrow is the day to go to Jiangnan, but I can also go to Jin'an first, and then catch up with the master day and night.

Xia He saw that he didn't give in to him at all, bit his lips and said, "You don't need to send it! I'll go by myself!"

After speaking, he turned on his horse and walked away.

Xu Ming let go of the hand that was about to hold her, it was safest for her to return to Jin'an.

He watched Xia He's figure disappear before his eyes before he rode to the Xuanwu Camp.

After Meng Tian went to the south of the Yangtze River, the Xuanwu camp was managed by several lieutenants, all of whom were cleared up. After a cup of tea, Xu Ming finished the matter and left the camp.

That night, Xu Junyan went to the study of Duke Anguo's mansion to bid farewell.

Xu Xiuwen muttered for a long time, and only said one thing: be careful.

Xu Junyan smiled lightly: "Father, don't worry, but pay more attention to the movements of the officials."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is now facing Xu Junhui in everything, and has read several of his books.

Xu Xiuwen looked at the back of Xu Junyan who was leaving and left, and sighed back.

At best, his eldest son would have inherited his title as duke, and he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

The one who really couldn't hide his edge was Xu Junyan.

Unfortunately, he can only exist as a concubine.

Xu Xiuwen poured out the cool tea in the celadon teacup, got up and went to Cui's yard.

Mrs. Cui was already waiting outside the door. The big red feather veiled crane cloak was her pajamas, and all the pearls and hairpins on her head were taken off.

Xu Xiuwen took her hand into the inner room, "Madam is standing outside the door to blow the air, what should I do if I catch a cold?"

Cui shook her head with a smile, and loosened her shirt for Xu Xiuwen, "Master, why is it so late today? But what's going on in the front yard?"

Xu Xiuwen glanced at her, "Jun Yan came to bid farewell just now, and I explained a few more words to him. This time he was demoted to the south of the Yangtze River for inspection, after all, he also took the face of our An Guo Gongfu."

When Cui heard Xu Junyan, the smile on his face faded a bit, thinking of Xu Xiuwen's attitude, he still didn't say anything.

But she thought to herself that the Holy Majesty understood, what's so good about this bastard, isn't it enough to lose the face of the Duke's government by abusing his power regardless of public or private?
"Master, the eldest son of the eldest brother's family has already engaged, and I still don't know what gift to send?"

Xu Xiuwen was happy to see that she was not fussing, so he asked with a smile, "Which family is the daughter?"

Mrs. Cui picked up the lantern, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's about the royal daughter of the Wang family. I heard that she was going to be sent to the palace, but last year the selection of the concubine was delayed because of the war in Youzhou... …If you can enter the palace, you can't go wrong with this appearance and everything."

Xu Xiuwen was surprised, daughter of the Wang family?Nowadays, there are very few legitimate daughters of the right age in the Wang family. It seems that Wang Zhao has made up his mind to win the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

Xu Xiuwenmin took a sip of the Maojian tea that was on the table, "Madam He Li can figure it out."

Xu Ming returned to the side courtyard, reported the news about the Xuanwu camp, and asked, "Master, how are you sure that Meng Tian must have gone to the south of the Yangtze River?"

Xu Junyan picked up the letter sent by shopkeeper Wen, glanced at it, and burned it with a candle.

It seems that Lanling Xiao's family can't sit still anymore.

"Meng Tian went to Wang Zhao's mansion before asking for leave, just after you released the news."

Xu Ming was stunned, "Then if Meng Tian returns to the Xuanwu Camp, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"

Xu Junyan's expression remained the same, he had already replied to the letter, and he sealed the envelope with a special method, and said lightly: "Meng Tian will not come back."

Xu Ming subconsciously took the sealed letter in his hand, but after hearing his next words, he almost trembled and couldn't hold the letter firmly.

"What? Master, you want to..." He gestured to his neck.

Xu Junyan glanced at him, smiled lightly and said, "This time, let him die justifiably."

Xu Ming took a deep breath, but he could tell that the master had already set up a plan.

On the second day, Xu Junyan changed into court clothes and apologized and said goodbye under the high platform of the Imperial Study Room. Emperor Yongning didn't call, but sent Wei Fuhai to dismiss him, with an extremely annoying tone.

Those who went in and out of the imperial study all day secretly said that being with you is like being with a tiger, the third young master of the Xu family might have no future.

Xu Junhui was full of elation, he was struggling in the official department, and he felt relieved when he heard that Xu Junyan was demoted.

That's right, it's just a concubine's toy. When it is needed, it will be favored by the emperor, but when it is not needed, it will be rejected.

He couldn't hide his smile, and when he saw King Duan, he also smiled and bowed, "Will the prince still go to Shixiang Tower these two days? It's the turn of the next official to be the host."

Zhou Chengrui caught a glimpse of Imperial Physician Feng from the Imperial Hospital approaching from a distance, and immediately covered his mouth and coughed. Yan Rang quickly supported Zhou Chengrui, who was unstable.

"My lord! Are you okay?"

Seeing this, Imperial Physician Feng also hurried over. "My lord's cough has happened again? Is the prescription prescribed by the official still used by my lord?"

Zhou Chengrui supported Yan Rang, forced a smile, and his handsome face was flushed from coughing, "Physician Feng's medicine is very good, but he rushed to court this morning before he could take the medicine. Unexpectedly, it became a little serious."

Seeing this, Xu Junhui couldn't say anything more, so he left quickly.

Imperial Physician Feng cupped his hands and said: "If the lord has an order, I will definitely go to Duanwang's mansion to treat the lord at any time."

Zhou Chengrui nodded, but just as he was about to speak, he coughed again. Doctor Feng couldn't bear to see him look weak, so he hurriedly left.

Yan Rang helped him into the cart of Prince Duan's Mansion, Zhou Chengrui regained his expression, and slowly adjusted his breath, "Go back to the mansion, and go to the pharmacy to get the medicine."

Yan Rang hesitated and said: "My lord, are you going to see General Xu?"

Zhou Chengrui glanced at him and smiled faintly, "We will have a conclusion when he returns from Jiangnan."

His intuition is that Jiangnan is going to be in chaos this time, and Xu Junyan will be demoted?You can lie to others, but he doesn't believe it.

At this time, Emperor Yongning in the imperial study put down the notebook in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Feng Aiqing is saying that Prince Duan still looks like that now?"

Physician Feng saluted, "I see that the prince's cough has become a little more serious."

Emperor Yongning nodded thoughtfully, and said to Wei Fuhai at the side: "Director Wei, follow Imperial Physician Feng to the warehouse to choose some high-quality medicines and send them to Duanwang's Mansion."

Wei Fuhai bowed and said, "The servant obeys the order."

He thought for a moment, and decided to send this news to Wang Taishi.

Emperor Yongning thought of Concubine Li's actions, smiled mockingly, and muttered to himself: "It's just a sick son, what kind of tricks do you have to play? What tricks?"

On the day Cui Wang and his family got engaged, Cui Shangshu held a grand banquet in the mansion, civil and military officials with some acquaintances came to Cui's mansion one after another, who would not look forward to having contacts with Qinghe Cui's family.

Grand Master Wang also brought his eldest son Wang Qingduan to Cui Mansion in person, and the whole city of Luoyang sighed for a long time because of this marriage.

They are all waiting for the happy event three months later, who would not want to see the son of the Qinghe Cui family marry the daughter of the Wang family of Luoyang, what a scene it is!Why not spread red makeup all over Luoyang?

Wang Zhao, Wang Qingduan and Cui Shangshu were all very happy, and they talked very happily.

In the middle of the banquet, Zhou Chengrui also came to Cui's mansion. After giving the congratulatory gifts, he made a round of toast with tea instead of wine, and then left with a pale face.

Wang Zhao didn't look at Zhou Chengrui too much, he got up to watch him off, and then sat down again.

But a sick and idle prince, what should he pay attention to?
After leaving Cui's mansion, Yan Rang asked in a low voice: "My lord, is this done?"

Zhou Chengrui squinted his slender peach blossom eyes, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It's time to see those imperial censors as well."

In Jing'anhou's mansion, Jiang Jinqian entered Wang's house while delivering meals.

When Wang saw her, she was angry and distressed, "Does your leg still hurt?"

Jiang Jinqian had a sore nose, "Mother..."

"Next time you're going to provoke her, don't do stupid things."

Sighing, Mrs. Wang pulled her to sit on the rosewood arhat couch beside her, straightened her breast-cloud gauze double-breasted shirt on her upper body, and helped her with the emerald silver hairpin on her head.

"Qian'er, you are still not calm enough. If you are half of what Jiang Jinyan is now, mother will feel at ease."

Jiang Jinqian tightly clutched her sleeves, knelt in the Buddhist hall for several hours that day, and was finally carried back to the courtyard by Shi Qing and a few maidservants.

Wang Shi held her hand, "My Qian'er should grow up too, mother can't protect you forever."

She felt anxious, and blurted out: "If my mother doesn't protect me, who else will protect me?!"

Looking at the wonderful woman in front of her, Wang took off a fine jadeite bracelet from her wrist and put it on Jiang Jinqian's wrist.

"My qian'er is good-looking and intelligent, and she will surely have a great fortune after hard work."

However, I am just a concubine, no matter how good I am, I can only marry a poor family, or go to a noble family to be a concubine.

Her expression darkened, "Mother, Qianer's life is not good."

Wang frowned and said, "My Qian'er is thousands of times better than Jiang Jinyan!"

Hearing Jiang Jinyan, she couldn't stop her hatred, raised her head and said with red eyes: "Why can't I deal with her?! Why is she still alive?! I don't accept it!"

Mrs. Wang held her in her arms, stroked her back and said, "It won't be too long."

The voice was very cold, but Jiang Jinqian, who was sobbing, was relieved for a moment.

Jiang Jinyan was holding Xiao Jincheng under the sycamore tree watching Xiaoxin climb the tree, Xiao Jincheng stretched out his hand to Xiaoxin very restlessly.

Careful to see him babbling at himself, he climbed higher in an instant.

A few drops of rain fell on Jiang Jinyan's light blue ancient pattern double butterfly cloud-shaped thousands of water skirt, and immediately made dark green water stains.

After she let out a low cry, she quickly wrapped Xiao Jincheng tightly, his white and tender hands were still stretched out to play with the rain.

Yu Mo hastily fetched the rain gear, and as soon as he opened the umbrella, the rain began to pour down.

Cautiously, he jumped off the sycamore tree with a meow, and rushed to the inner room.

Jiang Jinyan walked back with all his heart protecting Jincheng, the hem of his skirt had been dyed dark green.

Lianchun and Xiqiu also brought the young master's clothes, the clothes that got wet in the rain had to be changed quickly, don't look at the children who are very lively, it's hard to recover when they catch a cold.

Jiang Jinyan also went into the inner room and changed into an ancient smoky-patterned bixia robe, and Xueyan wiped her hair with a clean brocade handkerchief.

"The rain was really sudden. Fortunately, the third lady left in time, otherwise she would have been caught in the rain."

Aunt Yun is much better now, and Jiang Jinyin also comes to Wutong Garden to see little Jincheng from time to time, Jiang Jinyan understands what she means, Tingfenglou is going to be tied to the same boat as Wutongyuan, so it also takes good care of Tingfenglou on weekdays.

Watching Lianchun and Xiqiu changing clothes for Xiao Jincheng, Jiang Jinyan turned his head, looked out the window at the messy sycamore leaves that were wet by the rain and stuck to the ground, and sighed.

"One autumn rain and one cool."

It's just that she doesn't know if she is satisfied with the scene in a few days' time?
