Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 109 I'm afraid I'm going to be minced
The situation of the Three Kingdoms has been maintained for hundreds of years, and many practices will naturally be handed down.

For example, "can hunt".

This activity is indispensable when a new king of a country is enthroned and the other two countries send envoys to congratulate him.

It's called "Huihun", but it's not about going into the mountains to hunt, but the new king and his envoys go out to camp together, lead the army to perform battles, race horses and compete with arrows, and of course they can debate about major events in the world and discuss strategies for governing the country.After a "hunting session", there is often a lot to gain.

It is precisely because of this that this activity has been handed down for hundreds of years, and has survived twists and turns.

Only this time, the situation is slightly different from before.

On the second day of the cleansing banquet, as the host, Lu Li was about to extend invitations to the envoys of the two countries, but was stopped by the person next to him.

Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and showed a mysterious smile: "You can say hello to Xiliang first. When Baili Angju agrees, it's not too late to invite Beiyan."

Lu Li didn't quite understand what Su Qingyuan was doing, but he did as she said.

An hour later, the eunuch reported: "The slaves have not seen the sixth prince of Xiliang, and the people below said that the sixth prince has not seen any guests today."

Lu Li dismissed the little eunuch, and looked at Su Qingyuan suspiciously: "You can also predict the future now?"

"It's not just a prophet? I can call wind and rain!" Su Qingyuan hugged the soft pillow and smiled cunningly.

Because of this inexplicable change, the originally scheduled "hunting meeting" had to be postponed for three days.

Of course, the number "three days" was also suggested by Su Qingyuan.

Three days should barely be enough for the Sixth Prince of Xiliang to think about major events in life.

On the fourth day, Lu Li finally successfully invited the two countries' missions out of the city.

The princess and female relatives who were unable to participate in the hunting meeting were invited by Su Qingyuan to the palace, enjoying the plum blossoms and snow, tasting tea and chatting, and leisurely passing the time.

As a result, the palace suddenly became lively.

Su Qingyuan doesn't like such excitement.So she wisely chose to pretend to be sick and leave all the chores to Cheng Ruoshui.

As for herself, of course she hid in Fanghua Palace and ate those books, groping for the mystery of the witch clan's secret arts.

The servants of Fanghua Palace were very worried for a while, for fear that she would go astray and cause big trouble.

Fortunately, there were no surprises in the past few days.

It wasn't until the seventh day after Lu Li left that Xiao Linzi came to report that the guards had caught a sneaky maid at the gate of the palace, but she usually served Concubine Shu.

Su Qingyuan put down the book in her hand, rubbed for a long time at the temple where it hurt for a few days, then raised her head: "Bring it up."

Xiao Linzi and several eunuchs quickly brought him up.

Su Qingyuan squinted her eyes for a while, but didn't remember where she had seen this person before.

Luoxia reminded: "Heng'er was sent to Yanxi Palace along with Xiuniang and the others, but there are not many people serving concubine Shu's body, she should only serve tea in the palace, and not often come out to meet people. of."

Su Qingyuan probably knew it in her heart.

Those who were sent by Lu Li were naturally trustworthy at first.

But with a monster like Aunt Nian around, the "loyalty" of the maids and eunuchs had to be greatly discounted.

Su Qingyuan's silent gaze made Heng'er, who felt weak in her heart, very at a loss.

She knelt on the ground and began to sob automatically.

Su Qingyuan couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows again: "I haven't hit you yet, why are you crying?"

Heng'er raised his head and cried, "Your servant is guilty, I beg the Queen Mother to forgive me..."

"What crime did you commit?" Su Qingyuan was a little impatient.

Heng'er hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Shu is restraining her feet, she shouldn't be communicating with other people... The servant girl couldn't bear the mother's begging, and agreed to send a letter to Second Young Master Su on her behalf... The servant girl committed a crime in the palace. I am willing to be punished, and I beg the Queen Mother to take my mother's old love into account and give me a lighter sentence..."

"Second Master Su? Has Second Brother entered the court?" Su Qingyuan was a little surprised.

Danyue frowned and said, "Did you forget? Second Young Master was entrusted with the shadow a few years ago, but because he has been serving in the army, he doesn't often go to court. As long as he has time, he is qualified to walk in the military department."

Su Qingyuan casually tapped twice on the desktop: "Concubine Shu told you to send a letter to Second Brother? What did you say?"

"It's just talking about missing my parents, asking General Su to find a way to help get rid of the crime..." Heng'er lowered her head and said cautiously.

"False." Su Qingyuan gave a very brief evaluation.

"Slaves dare not lie!" Heng'er hurriedly kowtowed.

Su Qingyuan hooked the corners of her lips: "It seems that your master is a good teacher and knows how to do a full set of acting? If this is the case—Xiao Linzi, take her down and beat her hard until she says everything she wants to say." until you come out."

Xiao Linzi dragged him down as promised.

Luoxia pursed her lips and laughed straight at the side: "What do you mean 'hit until she says everything she wants to say'? Shouldn't it be 'hit until she tells the truth'?"

Su Qingyuan picked up the book and twirled it in her hand, said with a sneer, "She won't tell the truth even if she dies."

Danyue bent down to pick up the dropped book for Su Qingyuan, and complained: "Why is it so troublesome? I don't believe it, your books are all torn, and after so long, you still can't deal with a little girl? "

Su Qingyuan was silent.

Luoxia sighed for her: "It is easy to deal with a little girl, but it is difficult to deal with hundreds or thousands of little girls. What's more, the situation is not clear now, what we need to pay attention to most is not to arouse the vigilance of the people behind her .”

Su Qingyuan glanced at Luoxia approvingly, but couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

That "person behind" is not some irrelevant passerby!
As a daughter, what should I do to live up to my conscience between "filial piety" and "righteousness"?
After a while, Xiao Linzi came back.

"What did she say?" Danyue asked for Su Qingyuan.

Xiao Linzi bowed slightly: "After only a dozen or so slaps, the lowly maid was recruited, saying that Concubine Shu sent a letter to Da Sima, Chongzheng Envoy and Dingguo Gong each. As for the content of the letter , she insisted that she didn't know. May I ask your mother, do you want to continue beating?"

"No need, let her go back." Su Qingyuan smiled.

Kobayashi didn't ask any questions.

Danyue was a little puzzled.But thinking of the jokes she made in the past, she wisely chose to keep silent.

Su Qingyuan is very satisfied with this situation.

"It's Duke Ding and the others again." Luoxia frowned.

Su Qingyuan sat down at the table again: "Don't worry, bite these two or three people first, and then slowly grab others."

Danyue was inexplicable.

Luoxia laughed clearly: "It's a good idea, but it's a pity that their opponents are the emperor and empress."

Su Qingyuan smiled slightly, and corrected: "It should be said, it's a pity that they didn't expect that the untold secrets of the Wu clan are just idle books that can be read at will in the imperial study."

Tong Yun came in with bird's nest porridge and said that it was Princess Xiliang asking to see her.

Su Qingyuan thought for a while, then hid a few books on the table, and said with a smile: "Please come in."

After a while, Baili Yunyan rushed in with a few little girls: "I thought you would never dare to see me again!"

Su Qingyuan smiled slightly, and beckoned her to sit down: "Why don't I dare? Can you still kill me?"

"To be honest, I really want to kill you!" Baili Yunyan said angrily with a straight face.

After the tea was ready, Luoxia led the girls back down.

Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes, and leaned closer to Baili Yunyan: "I never had a chance to ask you—how did it work out?"

Baili Yunyan rolled her eyes: "As you wish."

"Huh? Isn't it as you wish?" Su Qingyuan asked back with a smile.

Baili Yunyan slapped the table angrily: "What do you wish for? I almost regret it to death!"

"Regret?" Su Qingyuan was very surprised, "What are you regretting? It's all over, you won't suddenly find out that you don't like him again, right?"

Baili Yunyan seemed really annoyed, after so many days, she still couldn't help panting when she mentioned this matter.

Su Qingyuan kept looking at her with a smile.

After barely calming down, Baili Yunyan gritted her teeth and said, "You're going to kill me—you didn't tell me it would hurt that much before!"

It took Su Qingyuan a lot of effort to hold back her laughter.

"What's that expression on your face? Taking pleasure in other's misfortune?" Baili Yunyan was even more annoyed when she saw her holding back her smile.

Su Qingyuan straightened her face, and said leisurely: "Normally, it shouldn't hurt. If you feel pain, it must be because that person is too rude. You can beat him."

"Really?" Baili Yunyan was dubious.

Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and revealed a meaningful smile.

Baili Yunyan leaned on the couch, thoughtful.

Su Qingyuan looked at her and asked with a smile: "It seems that everything is going well except for 'pain'?"

"It's not going well." Baili Yunyan shook her head and sighed.

"What?" Su Qingyuan was a little puzzled.

Baili Yunyan said angrily: "He said that I plotted against him, scolded me for three whole days, said that I was a bitch, and said that he would never marry me no matter what!"

"He really said that?" Su Qingyuan frowned.

Baili Yunyan pursed her lips, and the circles of her eyes immediately turned red: "He obviously likes me...he drank a lot of wine that day, and kept saying that he loved me when he was drunk, but he refused to admit it when he woke up...I called It's useless for him, it's useless to scold him, he also said that if I can't get married, he will reward me to the servants around me..."

Su Qingyuan's face became more and more ugly.

Baili Yunyan grabbed her hand and shed tears: "What should I do?"

"Do you regret it?" Su Qingyuan looked at her.

Baili Yunyan slowly shook her head.

Su Qingyuan pursed her lips, and said with a sneer, "Then you just listen to him. Just pretend that it never happened."

"What do you mean?" Baili Yunyan was puzzled.

Su Qingyuan raised the corners of her lips: "That's what it means on the surface. When they come back, I will send someone to tell Baili Angju that I will make you a concubine for the emperor of Nanyue."

"That won't work! I can't marry the emperor of Nanyue, I..." Baili Yunyan was anxious.

Su Qingyuan patted her hand reassuringly: "Coincidentally, the emperor of Nanyue will not marry you either. What I mean is, in the current situation, you can no longer hold on to Baili Angju—you should let him take the initiative Please."

"What if he really doesn't care about me?" Baili Yunyan was worried.

Su Qingyuan sneered: "It's easy to say. I will quietly ask someone to pass the news to Baili Angju, saying that you were found to be pregnant after entering the palace before you were favored. The emperor of Nanyue was furious, and it was a great shame."

"Can you fight?" Baili Yunyan turned pale with fright.

Su Qingyuan laughed out loud: "I don't know if there will be a war, but I will definitely fight you."

"I don't want it!" Baili Yunyan refused.

Su Qingyuan gave her a white look.

Baili Yunyan finally came to his senses: "You mean, I pretended to be wronged in the Nanyue Palace, and let Sixth Brother come forward to save me?"

Su Qingyuan nodded.

Baili Yunyan thought about it carefully for a long time, and felt that this method was feasible.

But she was still a little worried: "What if the sixth brother still refuses to save me? He has always thought that Liang and Yue are unlikely to fight, and I don't have so much weight to provoke a war between the two countries— ——It’s just that I am wronged, he may not be willing to take care of it!”

Su Qingyuan suppressed her smile and looked at her seriously: "This is not a matter of 'being wronged'! You probably don't know that Nanyue has been poisoned by ethics for thousands of years and treats women very harshly. Ordinary people are still unwilling Marrying a daughter who has lost her virginity, let alone the royal family? If you really become an imperial concubine, that alone is enough to sentence you to death! If you have a child, you will definitely die..."

Baili Yunyan shuddered.

Su Qingyuan patted her hand reassuringly: "Lu Li won't marry you seriously, so I can save your life. But you have to understand - if Baili Angju can ignore the lives of you and your child, you You don’t have to miss him anymore.”

"What if he really doesn't care?" Baili Yunyan asked dully.

Su Qingyuan smiled: "There is no such possibility."

"How do you know?" Baili Yunyan was still a little guilty.

Su Qingyuan revealed an inscrutable smile.

Baili Yunyan sat sullenly for a while, then shook her head and smiled wryly: "I only know now that I was fooled by you—but I can only trust you."

Su Qingyuan hooked the corner of her lips, but did not answer.

After sitting sullenly for a while, Baili Yunyan changed the subject: "Why have you refused to see me for so many days? Every time I come to ask, your servants say you are sick. Others believe such nonsense, I don't know. Do not believe!"

Su Qingyuan pointed to her stomach: "It's already like this, how dare I see people easily? It's enough to see you once or twice once in a while, if you see more, you will always be exposed!"

Baili Yunyan tentatively stretched out her hand and poked her stomach twice.

Su Qingyuan glared at her reproachfully, and turned sideways.

Baili Yunyan laughed "hehe" twice: "I'm just curious - it will get bigger and bigger in the future, don't you dare to see people even more?"

Su Qingyuan said lightly: "That's why I need to pretend to be sick a few more times, otherwise it will definitely attract attention once I get sick for two or three months."

Baili Yunyan looked at her with pity: "You must be very pitiful for not daring to see anyone for so long... You just said that the rules of Nanyue are so terrible. If someone like you finds out about it, they will probably be deader than me." Is it even worse?"

Su Qingyuan lowered her head and thought for a while, then said with a wry smile: "What do you need to say? At most, you will be hacked into pieces like that, I'm afraid I will be chopped into minced meat!"

Baili Yunyan let out a "ha" laugh.

Su Qingyuan couldn't help but rolled her eyes at her again.

Baili Yunyan smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, you dare to do such a terrible thing knowing that you will be chopped into meat, you have the demeanor of our sons and daughters of Xiliang!"

"Are you sons and daughters of Xiliang so shameless and desperate?" Su Qingyuan asked.

Baili Yunyan smiled and said, "We only hope to be able to do whatever we want in life, and we are generally less afraid of death—but there are still very few people like you, so I admire you very much!"

Su Qingyuan smiled wryly: "Another day when the Dongchuang incident happens, and we are chopped up together, you don't have to admire me."

Baili Yunyan frowned and thought for a while, then waved her hands: "Then wait until someone chops it up, why worry now! He Jing and the others are playing in the garden right now, don't you go see them ?”

"It's time to take a look, otherwise they will say that I don't know how to be polite." Su Qingyuan laughed.

Luoxia heard it from outside, and hurriedly called someone over to help Su Qingyuan change her clothes, she was still tightly wrapped, covering her stomach with wide hem and complicated decorations.

Baili Yunyan stared at Su Qingyuan for a long time, shook her head and said: "To be honest, you should make yourself fatter. Now you have no flesh on your hands and face, but your body is so bloated, you can use your brain a little bit. I can sense a problem."

"Most people don't dare to think in this direction." Su Qingyuan said lightly.

Of course, this is just a perfunctory statement.

The reason why she still dares to meet people is because of another kind of self-confidence——

Counting it, she has been practicing witchcraft for more than a month.

Although it is far from being as handy as Aunt Nian's, she has already gained a little care.

So, what are you afraid of?

When we arrived at the Royal Garden, it was indeed very lively.

Su Qingyuan glanced around casually, except for Cheng Ruoshui and the others, the only one she knew was Beiyan's Princess Hejing.

The remaining ones should be some princesses or concubines of the country, Su Qingyuan can't remember, and she doesn't want to waste her mind.

What surprised her was that Concubine Liang was there.

This woman, is the injury healed?

After everyone saluted, Su Qingyuan walked to the Nuan Pavilion with a smile and sat down: "Ai's family has been ill for many days, and she was very rude. Are you still used to living in the palace?"

A brightly dressed girl hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm used to it! The imperial concubine and the concubine Xian have taken good care of them. We can't see so many delicious and fun things in our small place, and we can't see such good ones." Palaces and plum blossoms!"

Seeing Su Qingyuan frown, Cheng Ruoshui hurriedly explained to her: "This is Princess Mingyue, the only daughter of the Lord of Ze Kingdom."

Su Qingyuan glanced casually, then looked away.

Princess Jingmin laughed with a "chi": "If you are so anxious to please others, isn't it a bit of a mess? According to me, you don't need to be so slick! I never take care of others, and the Queen Mother is not I don’t know! I don’t like your deliberate pretense, and the queen mother just doesn’t like it either. It’s really a waste of all your hard work!”

Princess Mingyue turned pale when she heard the words.

Su Qingyuan glanced at Princess Jingmin, a little helpless: "You are still so outspoken? The visitor is a guest, and you are too outrageous!"

"I'm just speaking for you what is inconvenient to say!" Princess Jingmin didn't think she was wrong at all.

Su Qingyuan smiled and shook her head.

Concubine Liang came over quickly to salute when she was free: "The concubine has been ill for more than a month and has not been able to serve the queen mother. It is the concubine's fault."

Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and looked at her: "Is your body better?"

Concubine Liang quickly lowered her head and said, "Thank you Queen Mother for your concern, it's much better."

Su Qingyuan saw that she was still staggering, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Luoxia greeted Su Qingyuan: "There is no need to be restrained in front of the Queen Mother, just do whatever you want."

Princess Jingmin smiled and said: "That's right, you don't have to be afraid of her! She is the same age as us, and she loved to play more than me before! Now she is just putting on the airs of a queen dowager, everyone don't Be deceived by her!"

"Look, there are no rules at all in Nanyue Palace." Su Qingyuan smiled at Baili Yunyan.

Baili Yunyan went to the corner to drag Princess Hejing out, and brought her to Su Qingyuan.

Su Qingyuan asked with a smile: "Why is Princess Hejing sitting alone in the back? It's been a few days, haven't you gotten to know everyone well? Concubine Xian is too careless. The princess has a weak temper, so you should accompany me more." Come on, why did you neglect the guest?"

Princess Hejing quickly smiled, and said anxiously: "It's not that Concubine Xian's hospitality is not good, but... it's that He Jing is really tired, so..."

Before she finished speaking, her face was already burning red.

Seeing her timid appearance, Su Qingyuan couldn't help but think of her own sister Su Qingluan, and immediately frowned.

Princess He Jing thought she had said something wrong, and panicked even more.

At this time, a person rushed over from a distance, pulled Princess Hejing behind him, and shouted at Su Qingyuan: "You also said that Concubine Xian is ignoring the guests, and you are about to scare the guests to tears Now, how do you settle this account?"

"Master Duan, you, don't contradict the Queen Mother, it's my fault..." Princess He Jing grabbed the sleeve of the visitor, stuttering in anxiety.

Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and looked at the two with great interest.

Duan Ran gave her a vigilant look, and took two steps back with Princess He Jing.

Su Qingyuan lowered her eyelids, and said coldly: "I'll give you a chance, let's talk again."

Duan Ran hesitated for a moment, suppressed his anger, and put on a serious face: "Princess Hejing is weak, she was just tired and rested just now, she is not out of gregariousness, please don't blame the Queen Mother."

Su Qingyuan said leisurely: "Of course the Ai family knows that the princess is just tired, but—how can it be your turn to explain it for her? Could it be that when you were stabbed and became the chief eunuch next to the princess?"

Princess Hejing's face turned even redder.

Su Qingyuan just looked at Duan Ran with interest.

Duan Ran's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth after a while and said: "Before the emperor left, I asked my servants to take care of everything in the palace, so it is also my duty to serve the princesses and concubines."

"Oh." Su Qingyuan looked away.

Duan Ran gritted his teeth, and added: "Just now, I offended the Queen Mother rudely, it is the crime of a humble minister."

Su Qingyuan sighed: "That's all."

Princess Jingmin smiled disdainfully at the side: "Why is Princess Hejing tired? Isn't it because someone dragged her around all day long! I said the surname is Duan, you'd better restrain yourself and be careful of Bei Yansan The prince will come back and beat you to death!"

Princess Hejing suddenly raised her head, her pretty Xingren eyes were full of panic.

Su Qingyuan saw it, and slowly raised the corners of her lips.
