Resourceful beauty

Chapter 249
"idiot……"

When the servant reported the news, in the inner hall of Fengming Palace, Queen Zhou was sitting in front of the dressing table taking off her makeup, and she slapped her furiously immediately.

On the table, the phoenix tail on the red gold phoenix hairpin, as thin as a cicada's wing, trembled.

When the servant left, the queen of Zhou said helplessly, "Isn't this Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it? At this juncture, such a thing happened, and the king, the courtiers and the people are so angry. look at him?"

Behind him, Shui Ling and Shui Xiu didn't dare to make a sound. Fang Shanggong waved his hands to signal the two to back down. He stepped forward and gently held Queen Zhou's shoulders, and said softly, "His Royal Highness King Yong wants such a thing." Avoiding it is actually human nature, so why should your empress be too harsh?"

The closed eyes opened again, Queen Zhou looked at Fang Shanggong from the bronze mirror, waiting for her next words.

"If it is to lead troops to kill the enemy, there is nothing wrong with letting His Royal Highness King Yong go down. After all, the two armies are fighting, and when it comes to the strategy of forming an army, Yao Kingdom has no shortage of these soldiers who form an army. What's more, His Highness is training in the Ministry of War. After so many years, they are also capable. But those rogue horse thieves, don’t care about these, they are all reckless, they only want to burn, kill and loot to fill their stomachs and live a good life. As the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid of wearing clothes. Shoes, fighting with these people, the risk is more than doubled."

Seeing that Queen Zhou listened to it, Fang Shanggong smiled and said: "So, it's better to avoid the limelight. Now, isn't there someone rushing up regardless?"

"The drought in the south has been implicated in today's events. The prince first prayed for rain from the heavens. If he is allowed to calm down the rogues, his reputation in the court will gradually rise. In the future, King Yong is afraid It's harder to match."

Queen Zhou said with some concern.

"My servant feels that if this matter is done well, it is the prince's duty as the crown prince. If it is not done well, it is his fault and a manifestation of his incompetence. Therefore, it is better to let him take this risk, you What do you think?"

Seeing Queen Zhou wave her hand, Fang Shanggong stopped what she was doing and stood sideways.

Thinking about it carefully, it made some sense. Queen Zhou nodded, and finally frowned and said: "However, King Yong's performance will definitely disappoint the king."

This is not something Fang Shanggong can say.

After a while, Queen Zhou sighed and said, "Now, we can only wait and see."

Having said that, Queen Zhou felt that she could not just sit still, and after thinking about it for a while, she waved to Fang Shanggong and whispered something to her.

In the East Palace, upon hearing that King Yong was injured, Chu Yuan immediately asked Gu Dahai to take the tonic and wound medicine from the storeroom and sent them to King Yong's Mansion, while he rushed to Yiyuan Hall.

After coming out of Yiyuan Hall, the sky outside was already dark, and the last ray of light in the sky made the sky in front of him look darker and quieter. After taking a few deep breaths, Chu Yuan strode back to Xuanyi Hall.

Ding Xiang opened the curtain, Chu Yuan went in, and heard Fang Ruxuan's gentle and shallow reading in the inner hall, a smile broke out on Chu Yuan's face involuntarily.

Every day, only when he is in Xuanyi Palace is his most relaxed and comfortable moment.

Flashing through the screen and entering the inner hall, Fang Ruxuan was leaning on the side of the soft couch, reading with a book in her hand. Seeing Chu Yuan coming in, she smiled, put down the book in her hand, and Chu Yuan stepped forward and pressed the book. She didn't move, but picked up the book by herself, found where Fang Ruxuan had stopped, put one hand on Fang Ruxuan's stomach, and began to read in a clear voice.

From time to time, he could feel the movement of his hands, and Chu Yuan would be delighted.

Move to a closer place and tap it, then spread out your hands to cover it, after a while, your hands will move.

One big and one small, the two of them were like playing hide-and-seek, having a great time.

Fang Ruxuan lay there quietly watching, her heart felt warm, she just wished that time would stop at this moment, so that the family of three could enjoy the quiet happiness like this.

After the meal, the two held hands and walked in the yard. Fang Ruxuan turned to Chu Yuan and asked, "Is it settled? When are you leaving?"

"Father said, let me explain the matter at hand and leave as soon as possible. I thought, let's go early in the morning the next day, and I can calm down the situation earlier and come back earlier."

Chu Yuan said softly.

"Then I will ask Lilac and the others to prepare your luggage tomorrow. After this trip, it may be early winter when you come back. You need to bring autumn clothes, and you need to pack a few thick winter robes..."

Fang Ruxuan spoke softly, without any complaints on her face.

Chu Yuan let out an "um" and held Fang Ruxuan's hand even tighter.

"Leave the day after tomorrow. You won't be able to attend the wedding of King Ping and King Rui on the sixth day of the lunar new year."

Fang Ruxuan laughed.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace was busy with the talent show and the wedding of King Ping and King Rui. The people in the House of Internal Affairs kept their feet on the ground every day.

"Fortunately, you are pregnant, so you don't need to attend. You take care of yourself."

Chu Yuan instructed Fang Ruxuan carefully, thinking that there are already many people in the East Palace, she couldn't help but frowned and said: "Those few, if you don't want to talk to them, just ignore them, and don't give them a good face, lest they think you are easy to talk to." , come to you all day long."

Fang Ruxuan pursed her lips and snickered, "When you are in the palace, they will come up with so many names to come to me. If you are not here, Xuanyi Palace is very deserted, and no one wants to talk to me. You just need to relax."

"naughty……"

Chu Yuan stretched out his hand and scratched Fang Ruxuan's nose, looked down at Fang Ruxuan's belly and said, "I don't know if it's a son or a daughter. If it's a daughter, I can't be as naughty as you."

Fang Ruxuan rolled her eyes at Chu Yuan, blushed a little and lowered her head.

On the third day of September, Chu Yuan took [-] light cavalry to the dry area in the south, and when he passed the southeast camp, he would take another [-] soldiers to fight against the bandits.

After sending Chu Yuan away and returning to the inner hall, I saw Hu Moyan and Lin Keer waiting quietly. Fang Ruxuan stepped forward and sat on the soft couch, and said softly: "Your Highness is not here, and I am heavy, so I don't have to worry about it on weekdays." You can go to the imperial garden for a stroll, or you can find something to do in the house by yourself, you don’t need to deliberately come to me.”

"Since that's the case, Mo Yan will leave."

Hu Moyan got up decisively, and exited the Xuanyi Hall after saluting.

Fang Ruxuan turned her head and looked at Lin Ke'er who was slightly embarrassed.

"A concubine...a concubine..."

Looking at Fang Ruxuan timidly, Lin Ke'er hesitated and said: "The Queen said that the Crown Princess is heavy, and as a member of the Eastern Palace, it is appropriate for the Crown Princess to share her worries. Therefore, if there is anything for the Crown Princess, please send me concubine."

It took Fang Ruxuan a while to realize that Lin Keer wanted to meddle in the affairs of the Eastern Palace. After all, she is now the most important person in the Eastern Palace besides herself and Hu Moyan.

And since she had a body, Hu Moyan made it clear that she didn't want to take matters into her own hands, so Lin Ke'er thought that these matters could naturally fall into her hands.

"When Lin Liangdi was at home in the past, did she ever intervene in the family's internal affairs?"

Fang Ruxuan took a sip of the tea ceremony.

With joy in her eyes, Lin Ke'er nodded again and again, "I have always learned to take care of household affairs by my mother's side."

No wonder, there is such an idea.

Seeing her staring at him eagerly, Fang Ruxuan smiled, "There are not many people in the East Palace, and there are not as many things to take care of as you imagined. The girls around me can take care of them without my order. It's well organized, so don't bother Lin Liangdi."

The soft smile on her face froze, and after a while, Lin Ke'er, whose face was flushed, got up to leave.

Behind him, Su Ye pouted invisibly.

On the sixth day of September, there was joy inside and outside the palace.

At Honglu Temple and the Marquis of Lin'an each picked up the bride, at noon, the teams of King Ping and King Rui entered the palace along the Xihua Gate.

In Fengming Palace, King Yao, Queen Zhou, Queen Mother Lou and other concubines were all there, and the two new couples went out of the palace one after another after kowtowing to King Yao and the three of them, and went back to Prince Ping's Mansion and Prince Rui's Mansion for the banquet guests.

The next day, the newlyweds entered the palace to kowtow and offer tea.

When we arrived at the East Palace, it was already afternoon, Fang Ruxuan looked at Lou Ya and Wu Xiuyan, who were also dressed as red princesses, and said a lot of auspicious words with a gentle smile.

Lou Ya thanked her blankly, and after receiving Fang Ruxuan's congratulatory gift, she sat in the armchair and looked at her heart, without any shyness and joy of a newlywed.

On the other hand, Princess Ping Wu Xiuyan, although her appearance is not as outstanding as Lou Ya, she has a smile on her face all the time, and when she smiles, the pair of dimples on her cheeks make her look more beautiful and friendly.

After talking for a while, Lou Ya said that she was going to Shouchang Palace to talk with the Queen Mother, got up, saluted and left.

Wu Xiuyan smiled, turned her head and blinked at Fang Ruxuan, "Then Xiuyan will bother the Crown Princess for a while, and I hope the Crown Princess will not dislike Xiuyan."

It seemed that the two were already acquainted, but Fang Ruxuan felt that this feeling was not awkward at all.

"If you have nothing to do, just come and bother me often. I'm bored every day..."

Although it was the first time they met, Fang Ruxuan felt that she hit it off very well, so she immediately agreed with a smile.

After a while, he talked about King Ping.

"It was he who asked me to sit in the East Palace for a while, and he will come to the East Palace to pick me up later."

A look of shame appeared on Wu Xiuyan's face.

Feeling happy for their sweetness, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help joking: "Seeing you are so nice, His Highness and I are also happy for you. It's not in vain that King Ping begged you to go..."

As she said that, Fang Ruxuan became curious again, "Looking at the appearance of King Ping that day, it looks like you two knew each other before, is that really the case?"

One is the cautious prince in the deep palace, and the other is the boudoir lady who never leaves the house. These two people are really at odds with each other.

Wu Xiuyan blushed, "That year, even though my mother entered the palace to pay her respects to the queen, I lost my way in the palace, and he sent me back to Fengming Palace. At that time, at that time..."

As if recalling the scene at that time, Wu Xiuyan said in embarrassment: "At that time, I thought he was a servant in the palace."

The afternoon sun was warm and warm. Listening to Wu Xiuyan talking about what happened at that time, Fang Ruxuan only felt that her heart was pure and beautiful, which reminded her of the first meeting with Chu Yuan.
