The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 185
King Zeen openly invited me, so I naturally agreed.His study room is on the side yard, and it is just there after passing through two corridors.

The courtyard of the Wangfu is well-crafted, and his study is even more luxurious. The shelf on the right side is full of rare treasures, colored glass, oriental pearls with big fists, and some strange-looking emerald stone carvings. I haven't seen it either.

King Zeen laughed and said, "Ning'an, see if there is anyone you like. If you like something, just take one."

"Your Highness is too polite, Ning An is panicked."

"Hey... there is nothing to be afraid of. You are the emperor's royal seal princess, and you are also a celebrity in front of your father. I am afraid that the gift you will give you is too light, and you will look down on me. Well, I think Look... oh, just this pair of Dongzhu, I like you very much when I see you." He said, pointing to the pair of Dongzhu.

I said, "My lord is really too polite. Ning An dare not accept the so-called reward for no merit."

"Hey, what's the merit of this? It's all outside the body, and it's all from your own family. Just take it if you like. This Dongzhu is of good quality. Don't you say that women are like pearls? I'm a man, and I put it in the study for a while." If you have femininity, let me give it to you."

Seeing that I didn't intend to ask for it, he laughed, "Ning'an, you are too polite. Anyway, this year you are Jiji, this king didn't give you any decent Jiji gift, and you went to the frontier to fight for me in Xiqi A grand battle was held. Whichever of these two things is brought out, the king will have to give a big gift.

This pair of Dongzhu should be regarded as a congratulatory gift from the king.Well, that's it.After a while, I will ask the butler to pack Dongzhu into a box and send it to your house. "

The words have already reached this point, if you don't want it, it will be too much face-saving, I can only smile, "In this case, Ning An would rather be respectful than obedient, thank you, my lord."

"Hey, you are always so polite. Alas, that piece of snow jade is also good. I have never seen it on the market. It is said that it is produced in the extremely cold place in the deep mountains and snowy regions. It is very cool to put in the house in summer. My lord If you don’t need it, I’ll take it for you too.

This is Kuaiyuan jade, which has not been carved yet. I will find a good craftsman to go there another day. You can draw a pattern and carve whatever you like.I don't know what girls like, so it's up to you to make up your own mind. "He laughed.

I took a look, the piece of uncut jade was milky white, with a faint light in the jade, it looked fresh, but it didn't seem to be that valuable.

I wanted the most valuable Dongzhu, so I couldn't shirk this piece of jade, so I nodded my thanks.

He laughed and led me to look left and right, and he had to choose two strange-looking jade ornaments for me before giving up.

"Hey, Ning An, come here and have a look, this is the cold arowana gifted by the emperor a few days ago." The things were also delivered, he swept his eyes away, and dragged me to a corner of the study.

There is a large blue-and-white porcelain pot here, with many aquatic plants in it, and a colorful dragon fish with the size of a tail and palm is swaying leisurely, Zeen said kingly, "This little thing has quite tenacious vitality, it was given by the emperor It was a bit white that day, and after a few days of raising it, it came back to life, which is quite interesting."

I praised, "The prince must be blessed, this dragon fish has been blessed by the prince."

He was overjoyed again, "Ning An, you are too good at talking, I am so happy to say it."

I nodded and smiled, and looked at the dragon fish with him for a while, his heart suddenly recovered, and he took out some treasured calligraphy and paintings like offering treasures, and after tasting them one by one, he seemed to want to give me a pair of landscape paintings , I quickly declined.

Almost as soon as the calligraphy and paintings were finished, the butler came to report again, who said that the play was over and the luncheon was ready, and the princess invited the prince to the hall for the banquet.Helian Yunqi led me to the banquet hall again.

There are quite a few guests today, speaking of it, I have the highest status among the guests, so Helian Yunzhang arranged for me to sit at the top, and after the others took their seats, the banquet began.

The banquet held by the palace is inevitably lively, there are singers to add to the fun, and there are qin masters sitting and playing the curved willow pipa. During this period, there are guest girls playing the qin impromptuly.

An hour later, everyone was full of wine and food, and they also left one after another.

I originally thought that Helian Yunqi must have a plan for asking me to come to the mansion to watch a show and give gifts, but from the time I entered the palace to when he personally sent me out of the mansion, Helian Yunqi was always smiling appearance.In addition to discussing poetry and opera, it is to study how the dishes are, and to drink with me, but I didn't say a word out of line.

But the more this is the case, the more suspicious it becomes.

How could this smiling tiger show affection for no reason? There must be some kind of conspiracy in it.

I sat in the carriage, thinking back and forth, but I just couldn't understand his intentions. I didn't realize until two days later that I was actually tricked this time.

With Su Qingmu's identity, he is not only the princess of Xiqi, but also the grandson of Su Huo who holds a heavy soldier.

After I went to see a play in Prince Zeen's mansion, rumors began to spread in Beijing that Princess Su and King Zeen watched the play together, had a good time talking and drinking, and they both regarded each other as close friends.

A rumor is nothing at all, but the bad thing is that there is another rumor about me in Shengjing.

I don't know when, the folks began to spread rumors, saying that Su Huo was one of the ministers of the court. When he fought with His Majesty on the battlefield, His Majesty secretly gave him an army because of his loyalty and bravery.It is said that this army is very mysterious, no one knows where it is hidden, and no one knows its scale, only Su Huo knows its existence and mobilization.

They also said that this army was a hidden guard of His Majesty the Emperor.

Back then, when he wanted to choose a concubine for Prince Yu in the Su Mansion, he actually wanted to hand over Yinwei to Prince Yu.But I didn't choose it later, because I didn't want to give him the hidden guard.

What's more, there are rumors that I went to the frontier this time, and my ability and bravery won His Majesty's favor. His Majesty has sent an eagle secret report and asked Su Huo to give me the soldier charm that can mobilize the hidden guard.

Those who are close to the Su family will win the king's heart, and those who win the princess will get the military talisman.

At the critical moment of seizing the throne, I suddenly had such a good relationship with King Zeen. After thinking about it, it aroused people's daydreams.

In just a few days, there was an endless stream of visitors from the princess's mansion, those who gave gifts, those who asked for news, and those who didn't even know each other came to visit.

I originally wanted to stay out of the matter and stir up the muddy water secretly, but in this way, I was pushed to the cusp of the storm and pulled into the muddy water for no reason.

This made me a little annoyed, and my plan to borrow the Ministry of Industry's Sikong fire to flood the East Wall had also failed because of this.

I asked Qiu Jin to find an opportunity to find a way to disclose the evidence and clues of the Ministry of Industry's chief minister's concealment to a stern and upright official in the court, and let him take a copy of the book.

Qiu Jin acted swiftly, and the clues were flawless. The stern and upright official had long seen that the Ministry of Industry was not pleasing to the eye, and after obtaining the evidence, he handed over an urgent paper.

Who knew that the head of the Ministry of Industry, Sikong, was an old fox. He got the news from nowhere and found a scapegoat as quickly as possible.Played up the book overnight, and cried with His Majesty.

Said that he was too careless, there were such moths around him, and asked His Majesty to mobilize the Imperial Superintendent to investigate the matter thoroughly, and must give the court a clean Ministry of Industry.

In this way, Da Sikong's crimes of not reporting and cutting corners are not only wiped out, but also his good reputation of being upright and upright is lost.

As for King Zeen's side, because of the intersection with me, the voice suddenly rose, and the courtiers who were waiting and watching, fearing that they would fight the wrong team, fell to Helian Yunqi in a large area like weeds on the wall.

On Zhou Wuzheng's side, even though Helian Yunzhao and I had already greeted each other, they had prepared ahead of time and managed to avoid a catastrophe, but the road ahead was still trembling...

The original situation where the two kings were full of power suddenly changed. If it weren't for Helian Yunzhao's military exploits and virtuous reputation, King Zeen would have stood out from the crowd.

This makes me very depressed, Helian Yunqi and Baili Tianqi are in the same team, Helian Yunqi gains power, and he will naturally benefit in the future.

Another day later, the person sent to thank Fanghua also got news.

This person is the foster daughter adopted by Da Sikong three years ago, and has been kept in the other courtyard in Langzhou. This time, Da Sikong went with King Zeen to relieve the disaster, and Bian brought her back.

It is said that this Chinese girl is sweet and sensible and can act like a baby, which made Da Sikong very happy, not to mention doting on her very much, and intending to give her to King Zeen as a side concubine.

No wonder she acted differently at the birthday banquet that day to make Concubine Di happy. It turned out that she was going to enter the palace.

This made me even more strange, since she is the adopted daughter of Sikong and she didn't grow up in Shengjing since she was a child, the two of us naturally wouldn't have any old enmity, so why do you look at me with resentment?

Although her face is extremely strange, I just feel that this person is very familiar.

My feeling is right, there must be some secret about her.

"Go and check again. Find her whereabouts, household friends or midwife. I want her details."

"Yes, master." Qiu Jin responded, jumped out of the window, and onto the roof of the room.

Her skillful movements reminded me of Xuanyuan Chen. I was used to the days with him. He left suddenly, which made me very uncomfortable. Last night, the wind picked up suddenly, and the window blew with a bang, and I woke up from a dream at night. Come, I thought he was back.

Smiling secretly, I took a sip of the hot ginger soup.

Xiqi always snows in winter, it is rare to be sunny, but it is cloudy.

After a few days of light snow, the letter I sent to Zhonglu to inquire also sent back news.

A group of large-scale bombers suddenly appeared at the junction of Lijiang and Zhonglu, and they even landed and proclaimed themselves king, raising their flags and calling themselves Zhengming Emperor.

This team of bombers left Lijiang after the storm and did not move. Instead, they crossed the mountain and crossed the border, attacking a border town in Zhonglu at night.

After those people entered the city, they not only looted, but also burned and looted.

Zhonglu never got involved in the turmoil, but the soldiers and guards did not relax, and drove him out of the city after a scuffle.But the bombers attacked again.

Threats to the west, fishing in troubled waters, keeping secrets...

There are some strategies in the art of war, and the opponent has used them once. The Emperor Zhonglu felt that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly called Xuanyuan Chen to go back and study the countermeasures.

Hearing this news, I suddenly thought about how Baili Tianqi dismissed a group of soldiers and guards in the name of streamlining the army three months ago.

I felt strange at the time, why did he dismiss so many people when he was employing people?I also deliberately sent people to follow up, but found that those people really scattered in all directions, so I ignored them.

Now think about it, if those soldiers and guards were not dismissed, but...

They were ordered to disperse and hide, and gathered at the border of the Central Mainland...

I narrowed my eyes slightly.

This possibility is too great.Even if there are capable people among the ownerless mob, how can they skillfully use the art of war to attack the city!
From this point of view, Baili Tianqi has started to attack Zhonglu!
He wasn't sure about the situation in Zhonglu, so he didn't dare to be provocative, so he sent some people to test it out first, while he stayed in Xiqi to hide his strength and bide his time...

Sitting on one mountain and looking at three mountains, he is really a good planner!

Calculating the time, when he dismissed the soldiers and guards, it happened to be the time when Xuanyuanchen led the troops to invite the concubine.

There is really a countermeasure!
"Miss, there is a letter from the frontier."

Lu Zhu knocked on the door outside, I withdrew my thoughts, responded lightly, Lu Zhu pushed the door in, and handed over a folded thick letter.

"My grandson Qingmu kisses me personally."

This is Suho's word.

I brought the heavy envelope close to the candle, slowly baked the sealant, and pulled out the letter core, which contained several small envelopes.

Unfolding it, these are Su Huo, Ji Yunchang, and General Lan's private letters to me.

I still opened Suho's letter first.

He asked in the letter that he was very anxious when he heard that I had fainted, but then he heard the news that I had returned to Beijing and asked me to rest well. Don't worry too much, and said that everything is fine with him, so don't ask me to worry about it.

There are not many words, but it is deep.

Feeling warm in my heart, I opened another letter.
