The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 292 Invitation

When autumn was deep, Shi Shouxin helped Huo Zhan make a request to be stationed at the border.

Some ministers in the court expressed their opposition, and King Jin was among them.

However, because Shi Shouxin had a better understanding of the border situation, Huo Zhan still left the capital at his insistence.

When I left the capital, the autumn wind was strong, and melancholy seemed to gossamer, and it was chaotic at the touch of it.

On the day Huo Zhan left, it was raining heavily in autumn, and it was really not suitable for a long trip in such weather, but he still chose to leave on such a day.

On the shore of the pavilion outside the city, the willow branches are all withered and yellow, and the stream is full of fallen leaves.

Huo Zhan and Liu Wei sat opposite each other, drinking one cup after another.

When the wine was in full swing, Huo Zhan cupped his hands to Liu Wei and said, "Lord Liu is so kind and virtuous, Huo will never forget it."

Liu Wei smiled slightly, and after drinking a glass of wine, he said: "Master Huo said that he is out of touch with me. I understand Lord Huo's will, and the reason why I came to see you off today is just to let Master Huo know , I am very supportive of your aspirations, and as long as Mr. Huo does not change his original intention, I will definitely do my best to help you."

When Huo Zhan heard Liu Wei's words, his heart was shocked, confidant, yes, the feeling of confidant surged after Liu Weiqian said a few words.

"Thank you Master Liu for your trust." After speaking, Huo Zhan drank his glass of wine.

As time went by, the two of them didn't know how much wine they drank and how many words they talked. When the autumn rain turned from thick to shallow, Huo Zhan stood up and cupped his hands and said, "There will be a farewell to sending you off for thousands of miles. I will go now, Liu Please take care, my lord."

Liu Wei stood up and said, "Take care."

The two looked at each other, and then separated.

The autumn rain was even cooler, and the carriage was rushing to the city. Liu Wei sighed softly. He only hoped that Huo Zhan could really not forget his original intention.

The autumn wind is bleak and the rain has not stopped.

Jin Wangfu.

Chai Feng was a little unhappy, she sat opposite King Jin and pouted, anyone could see that she was very unhappy.

King Jin was a little puzzled, and said, "Who made you unhappy again?"

Chai Feng pointed to King Jin: "It's Father, you made your daughter unhappy."

King Jin was even more puzzled: "Why does your father make you unhappy? In the past few days, your father has been obedient to you?"

Chai Feng's cheeks were slightly red: "Hmph, it seems that the father promised his daughter that he forgot."

King Jin frowned slightly: "My father promised you something? Why didn't my father know?"

Hearing King Jin's words, Chai Feng blushed even more, and suddenly rushed to King Jin and patted King Jin's chest: "Father is good or bad, father is good or bad, I have to let my daughter speak out..."

Seeing Chai Feng like this, King Jin suddenly understood.

King Jin showed a dazed look: "You mean the matter between Liu Wei and you?"

At this time Chai Feng had already stopped, although she was very shy, she still nodded.

King Jin rubbed his nose. He had forgotten about it. Since Liu Wei came back from the Southern Tang Dynasty, the court had never been safe, and he delayed his daughter's affairs.

"It's the father's fault. In this way, the father is not very busy during this time. How about calling Liu Wei sometime, and how about this king testing him out?"

Chai Feng nodded repeatedly, and when she realized that she was so shameless and impatient, she couldn't help lowering her head again.

Seeing his daughter like this, King Jin felt quite uncomfortable. When the court wanted to choose the princess to marry Liu Wei, a businessman, Chai Feng was the first choice at that time. After all, according to her blood, she was the princess of the later Zhou Dynasty, but he really loved her. She is so doted on, even more doted on than her own daughter. She didn't like it, so she immediately went to intercede with her imperial brother.

The matter between Chai Feng and Liu Wei is so dirty, but who would have thought that Liu Wei turned out to be Bai Yumengchen, since she married Princess Ruyi, she kept doing earth-shattering things, no wonder her daughter Suddenly, I fell in love with him again.

It's just this matter, how should he tell Liu Wei?Furthermore, how would he explain to Princess Ruyi?

Princess Ruyi is the daughter of her eldest brother. She has been lonely since she was a child, and she finally married a good husband. Now she is about to force her into a sister. What would she think?
King Jin felt that he was sorry for his elder brother.

But for the sake of his daughter, he had no choice but to give it a try, and if Liu Wei could really marry Chai Feng, then Liu Wei would definitely be his own, which would be very beneficial to him.

When thinking this way, King Jin felt that he was really not a human being. He originally did this only for the happiness of his daughter, but then why did he think of benefits?
After Princess Chaifeng left, King Jin ordered someone to call Su Tongkan. After the two sat down in the living room, he told Su Tongkan what Princess Chaifeng meant. After Su Tongkan listened, he smiled slightly. : "My lord wants to win over Liu Wei by marrying Princess Chaifeng, which is a very good way..."

Seeing that Su Tong hadn't finished speaking, King Jin waved his hands helplessly: "This king doesn't mean that, but just to make Chai Feng happy, and other kings don't care about it."

Su Gian did not refute, and said with a smile: "My lord is really willing to do it for Princess Chaifeng, but it is not easy for Liu Wei to accept Princess Chaifeng, because as far as my subordinates know, Liu Wei and Princess Ruyi The relationship is very good, and Princess Ruyi is a very powerful person, how could she allow her man to marry another one?"

King Jin sighed: "It is precisely because this king also thought of this that he asked Mr. Su to help. Mr. Su is a smart man, and he should be able to think of a way to make Liu Wei accept Chai Feng."

Su Another looked wryly and shook his head: "This subordinate has nothing to do. Liu Wei is not an ordinary person. If he doesn't have this intention, no matter who we are, there is no way for him to change his mind."

"So, we only have to test him?"

Su Another looked and nodded: "We can only test it first. If Liu Wei is interested, we can match up, otherwise it is extremely likely to backfire."

King Jin thought for a moment, then nodded and nodded: "In this case, let's invite Liu Wei to have dinner this evening. The autumn rain is falling, and the roasted whole lamb should taste good. It's a pity that I missed the beer season."
-
Not long after sending Huo Zhan home from the capital, Liu Wei received an invitation letter sent by King Jin.

The invitation letter only said that he would be invited to dinner, but did not say much about the rest.

Liu Wei was a little curious, wondering why King Jin invited him to the mansion, but since King Jin invited him, he was reluctant to go.

After showing the invitation letter to Princess Ruyi, Princess Ruyi was also a little puzzled, but she didn't delve into it, and said, "I haven't seen Sister Chaifeng for a long time, so I'll go with you and take a look by the way." she."

Liu Wei smiled and complied. It would definitely be more comfortable to go to Prince Jin's Mansion with Princess Ruyi than to go alone. At least when he came back, he could hold a beautiful woman in his arms and kiss Fangze by the way.

Before dusk, Liu Wei and Princess Ruyi went to Prince Jin's Mansion in a carriage.

As soon as the two of them entered Prince Jin's mansion, Chai Feng ran out with a smile, but when she saw Princess Ruyi coming along, she was stunned for a moment, and she felt her cheeks were about to turn red.

She was a little at a loss, and it took some time before she finally recovered: "Sister Ruyi, you haven't played with me for a long time."

"I'm here for you, come on, let's go to your place to chat."

The two used to like chatting very much, but at this time Chai Feng felt a little uncomfortable. She glanced at Liu Wei secretly, seeing that Liu Wei was as calm as usual, and finally had to walk to her courtyard with Princess Ruyi.

As soon as Chai Feng and Princess Ruyi left, Su Giankan came out to welcome him: "My son-in-law Liu is here, please come in quickly, the prince is already waiting."

Liu Wei nodded quickly, and while following Su Another Kan to the living room, he asked, "Mr. Su, I don't know why the lord invited me here?"

It's hard for Su to say otherwise, so he just smiled and said: "I don't know what it is, Mr. Liu should wait for the prince to tell you in person."

Liu Wei didn't really believe Su Tongkan's words. He knew that Su Tongjian was King Jin's think tank, and since he was a think tank, he would tell Su Tongkan everything. The purpose of coming here is obviously not credible.

But now that he's here, Liu Wei naturally won't say that he turned around and left just because he didn't believe Su's words.

The two walked through the courtyard, past the rockery, and finally came to the living room.

There was food and wine in the living room, and King Jin was already waiting. Just as Liu Wei entered, Su looked like he had found an excuse to leave.

Liu Wei felt that the matter was more and more weird, so after paying respects to King Jin and sitting opposite King Jin, he asked with a smile, "I don't know why the lord is calling you here?"

King Jin poured Liu Wei a glass of wine with a smile, and then cut a large piece of mutton for Liu Wei. Liu Wei was flattered and thanked again and again.

And at this time, the King of Jin finally said: "Your Majesty Liu is invited to come today because I just want to discuss a private matter with him. This matter is purely a conversation between the two of us, so you don't have to worry about it."

private matter?mind?

Liu Wei couldn't understand the meaning of King Jin more and more, but still said with a smile: "There, it doesn't matter if you don't care about private affairs or public affairs, the prince can just say it."

King Jin nodded, drank a glass of wine, and said: "The son-in-law has been married to the princess for many years, and the two of you are not too young. It's time to add some men to your Liu family."

Being asked this question suddenly made Liu Wei a little surprised and a little embarrassed, just like meeting elders during Chinese New Year in the previous life, they would always ask you when you are going to have a child, which is embarrassing.

"This... the prince didn't mention it, I really didn't pay much attention to it, but after the prince mentioned it this way today, I will put having a child on the agenda."

King Jin didn't expect Liu Wei to answer like this, but Liu Wei's answer made him suddenly not know how to ask the question he had prepared, and finally hesitated, before finally asking: "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. For the sake of the men of the Liu family, Prince Concubine Liu might as well take a few concubines."
