The Second Marriage of a Passionate Monarch: Princess Chongxi

Chapter 183 [Reunion] 4
"Yeah." An Yunhao was upset when he saw the chicken soup all over the floor, and wanted to go out for a walk.

Su Qingning was very happy, she finally understood why Concubine Li was favored in the past, not because of Concubine Hui, but now she is repeating Concubine Li's way, although she despises Tong Weiyang, so what, she can help herself to be favored Darling, that's enough!
It has been more than a year since An Yunhao ascended the throne, although no celebration activities have been held, congratulatory gifts from various countries have been sent to Yanjing one after another.Most of them are rare treasures, and there are also many that An Yunhao is not interested in at all, such as Beiliang's.

He has never had a good impression of Beiliang, because of Sima Mingyi, and also because of Beiliang's emperor's behavior. Anyway, there are many reasons, and it boils down to dislike!

He didn't know if Beiliang was rich in beauties. When the father was in power, they sent gifts from thousands of miles every year, and there must be beauties among them.This time it is even more unusual, only beautiful women are given away, and ten are also given away.

Zhao Xiangxiang pouted all day, annoyed at the thought of beauties, and secretly gave Su Qingning a few glances.As for that Concubine Min, she was so stupid, she didn't bother to talk to her.

On the contrary, although the Empress Dowager was not present, she had already heard that a beautiful woman was coming, and she was in a good mood. She asked Alan to go to the Guangying Hall to have a look. If the Emperor could please the Emperor, then everyone would be happy.She always felt that there were too few women around the emperor, not even a single child, and she was so anxious that her hair turned gray.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Girls from Beiliang Kingdom, you can tell from Princess Yushan that they are all beautiful, even more beautiful than Concubine Xian." Alan said with a smile.

"Concubine Xian, hum!" The queen mother was quite dissatisfied. She had been angered by the queen mother all these years. The Su family had great power throughout the generations, and even Su Qingning dared to be domineering.

"Why should the Queen Mother be angry? After all, this concubine is your daughter-in-law, isn't she?" Alan changed the subject, "Let's talk about the beauties in Beiliang!"

"Hurry up and help me take a look. If you have spiritual energy, come and tell me directly, and I will arrange a bedside service tomorrow."

"Yes." Alan took the order to leave, and the queen mother suddenly felt that her side was empty. Looking around the bedroom, there were many palace servants around her, but why...why was she so lonely? !

The former concubine Li has retired with the emperor, and concubine Hui has been dead for so many years, and Wei Young is also dead. It seems that she is the only one left in this huge harem!

Is she wrong?Yes, it was wrong from the beginning.

Anyway, the allied countries came from afar, even if they don't like it, they can't violate the original alliance, besides, it was the alliance formed when the father was in power.

At this moment, the Guangying Hall was singing and dancing, An Yunhao was sitting on a high dragon chair, Su Qingning and Zhao Xiangxiang were sitting on the side dressed up, Lei Qiusu didn't come, An Yunhao didn't care about it at all, That girl is the same as Weiyang back then, she obviously likes to be lively, but she doesn't like palace banquets.

One or two princes came, and the rest were three or two ministers. To put it bluntly, it was just a show.I just want to do what everyone should do after the envoy leaves.

It has been a year since he ascended the throne, and the army from the Eastern Expedition returned to the imperial court. An Yunhao did not start the Southern Expedition immediately, and felt that it was time to take a proper rest. After all, the Eastern Expedition had already caused many casualties.He used to think that Gao Tianqi would leave after the Eastern Expedition was over. After all, he once said that he stayed in Yanjing because of Wei Young, but he didn't leave. An Yunhao didn't know if this could be understood as Wei Young was alive or by his side, Just in Yanjing.

In fact, how could An Yunhao know that when the Eastern Expedition ended, Gao Tianqi planned to return to the fortress, and then traveled all over the mountains and rivers to look for Wei Young.Whether it's life or death, his running iron hooves don't want to stop.Even though he had seen the corpse, he was still not reconciled, let alone believed it.

But Mrs. Tong was not cured of her madness, so she refused to leave anyway, and Du Yuan seemed to be getting better after her treatment, so he couldn't bear to stop the treatment like this.More importantly, he dug out the wishing box. He wanted to take it away when he was plugging it back, but he didn't want to break one. It was Wei Young's third wishing bottle. It was red. He didn't intend to see it, maybe It was God's will, so it was broken in front of him, and the cloth was opened: I hope An Yunhao is safe!
There was no date signed on it, and Gao Tianqi didn't know when she wrote these simple seven words, but under the circumstances at that time, An Yunhao was the crown prince at the beginning, and everything was in trouble. Help him in Yanjing.I have lived and died several times for fighting side by side, and I also prayed for Wei Young's words.

Although the emperor rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, it was not as good as the official that An Yunhao enthroned to him. From a small soldier to a small official, he became the greatest hero of the Eastern Expedition in an instant, and was awarded the title of General Zhendong. Not as good as General Lei Shuo, but he still has 20 troops.

Since then, he has guarded the aftermath of the Eastern Expedition, the territory of the Eastern Expedition, and even the territory east of Yanjing, while the other side beyond the Great Wall is also the border, guarded by Gao Ting.In addition, during the Eastern Expedition, the good generals that An Yunhao favored were all given the post of general when they ascended the throne to protect the four directions.Now military officers are not underestimated like in the past, after An Yunhao ascended the throne, he favored martial arts but did not despise literature either.

In addition, there are many soldiers outside the Great Wall, which has always been regarded as a hidden danger by the Supreme Emperor. At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, An Yunhao also planned to withdraw some troops or transfer some officials from Yanjing to "assist" Gao Ting, but he did not do so in the end.

"There is no doubt about the suspect, and there is no doubt about the employment." Since he has given Gao Ting the post of General Guard, and he has worked hard for decades, why do you still doubt him now?It is actually very simple to choose to believe, after all, he has been to Weiyang, visited Weiyang's hometown, and taught Gao Ting, after all, he is indeed a rare loyal minister and good general.

Military officers were employed wantonly, and civil servants in the court were even more worried, because the emperor had already begun to thoroughly investigate corruption, and the investigation of corruption and bribery was stricter than that of any dynasty.Not only the bribe taker will be punished, but even the bribe giver will be punished.

An Yunhao threatened that those who accept bribes are afraid of losing their lives.The anti-corruption order was issued, and the people of Yanjing applauded.Moreover, the emperor rebuilt the imperial examination system, and it is necessary to recruit talents and reduce talents in a variety of ways.

It is said that there are three fires for new officials, but the fire of the emperor is almost burning to the court. How many important officials dare to feel their conscience and say that they are not greedy for the people or for a copper coin from the court?
For a while, everyone was in danger and was busy working hard. How could they dare to be lazy and hit the gun?

"The envoys from Beiliang have arrived"

The father-in-law outside the palace yelled, An Yunhao nodded, and listened to the father-in-law, "Xuan"

The envoy walked up the steps, walked into the Guangying hall, and bowed to salute, "I have seen the emperor, the emperor is safe, and I have been entrusted by my emperor. I wish you a happy anniversary of your enthronement."

"The emperor of Beiliang is being polite, grant me a seat."

When the envoy sat down, Zhao Xiangxiang looked over. Didn't he say that there were ten beauties? Why didn't they see them?
Su Qingning sat beside her, saw that she was looking around without any rules or distances, and didn't want to be laughed at by outsiders, so she secretly pulled off her sleeves, looking taller than her, and whispered, "Concubine Shu, there are foreign guests If you are present, you must pay attention to your words and deeds."

The voice was extremely low, and Zhao Xiangxiang heard it, and couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at her, and couldn't help muttering after sitting down, "De Xing, I really think of myself as a queen."

Su Qingning pretended not to hear, and continued to sit gracefully, looking at the palace with tender eyes.Although I also wondered that the ten beauties didn't show up, but the emperor didn't ask, why should she ask, it's best if they didn't come!
This time, besides Beiliang sent people, there were also several allied countries who came with them and offered a lot of treasures. An Yunhao asked the ceremonial officer to record them one by one. When they return to China, they will also give the same gifts.

In the hall is the music of silk and bamboo that never stops. Recently, shadow puppetry has been popular, and a performance has just been performed.

But An Yunhao was really not interested in these things, and watched with the crowd for a while, feeling a little like to leave the table.As a result, just after the shadow puppet show, a piece of red gauze suddenly floated in the hall. Before everyone could figure out what it was, a group of girls entered the hall with clear and melodious music.

Beiliang's envoy signaled that An Yunhao finally understood that the ten people were here.

I saw that they were all dressed in the same style, and there were cinnabar moles between their eyebrows. This alone attracted An Yunhao's attention.

The musician played "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", and the dance pattern posed by ten women in red gauze skirts was a charming and proud phoenix.I saw those women moving and dancing in the hall so fast that people had no time to pay attention to their faces. This unpredictable "phoenix" was enough to dazzle them.

I didn't choose those beautiful dances, but the enthusiasm and insolence made people's hearts boil as soon as they came up.An Yunhao thought it was quite interesting, looked down at the dancing posture in the hall, it was really the first time seeing people dance the phoenix dance together.

This phoenix dance has a solo dance. When I was young, I saw Su Qingning dance at a grand ceremony. I just thought it was amazing, but it didn't have the shock and momentum of several people dancing together at the moment.

The girls swayed their waists lightly on the dance floor, twirling with their jade arms around the red gauze, their graceful postures and exquisite dances made people fascinated for a while.In particular, these women all have that mysterious floral fragrance, which is so bewitching.

"Hmph." Zhao Xiangxiang's dissatisfaction was all over his face, and Su Qingning didn't turn to look at her, just wondering why he came here since he was unhappy.She was still smiling, looking at these women who were about to compete with her for the emperor's favor with a kind of motherly tenderness.

As for An Yunhao on the dragon chair, his face was originally filled with admiration, but now he was completely filled with shock.He held the teacup so tightly that he almost crushed it.It's because the woman in the main hall has exactly the same face as Wei Young.

Weiyang
He almost blurted out the name, but he didn't.With so many people present, he is no longer the reckless young man he used to be. He is mature and stable. Although his heart is overwhelmed, his face is still calm.

His gaze has been following her closely, she is not dead, she is not dead, he cheered in his heart.She has not changed, she is still his Wei Young, she is still the same as in the past, if she insists on saying it is different, maybe she has put on makeup, her whole person is much more refined.

She had a smile on her cheek, but her eyes were always blurred, not focusing on him.It was a kind of indifference, naked contempt.

However, he is not angry, this is Wei Young, she has always been like this to him.

At that moment, he didn't even have time to think, he couldn't think of anything, his mind was full of her dancing.She was that phoenix, the only phoenix in his heart.

As if the blood was about to freeze, he was stretched into a plaster cast because of his nervousness, just watching her smiling in the palace, for a moment, all the flowers faded, and Liugong Fendai had no color.

Along with the music, Wei Young danced on her own.The ten of them have a clear division of labor, which means that each of them dances independently, but overall they look like phoenixes who just want to fly.

I don't know if it's because of her petite body that she became the center of the whole dance, acting as the head, so that she stood at the front, standing in front of An Yunhao so majestically.

She felt the pursuit of his fiery eyes, and she also saw Zhao Xiangxiang and Su Qingning, but they didn't seem to notice her, otherwise, oh, how could they be so indifferent.

She has come to Guangying Hall many times, but every time she came here with dignity, only this time, she became a gift, the most humble gift and beauty among concubines.

She was a dancing girl, a dancing girl for them to watch.

It's daytime, Wei Young turned around but felt a sense of darkness, her cheeks were already sweating, this dance was too strenuous.Gradually, the sound of the music calmed down, Wei Young's dancing posture also softened, and she took the opportunity to look at the tall man.

I haven't seen him for several years, but he has gradually lost his childishness, becoming more and more mature, resolute, gentle, and upright, and the heroic spirit between his brows still makes people dare not look directly at him.

But she forced herself to watch, to see him so carefree, and also to see her own downfall.She was his princess, the closest person to him in the past, but now, she has become the farthest person from him.

She wants to get close to him, this time not for mother's last wish, nor for love, but hate!
