Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 116 We won't marry anymore!

Lunar New Year's eve.

As usual, it is necessary to keep the old age.

There are many sad people in the palace, and it is really hard to be happy on such a day.

During the festive season, I miss my relatives a lot.From concubines to palace maids and eunuchs, everyone has left their parents and family for a long time and plunged into this dark place. In such a day when thousands of families are reunited, everyone will inevitably be a little hypocritical.

In such a great atmosphere, in order to avoid the miserable scene of crying in the palace on New Year's Eve, Cheng Ruoshui made a clever arrangement. He placed melon and fruit snacks in Yong'an Hall, arranged for a group of small actors, and kept the candles on all night long. , Send a word to the concubines and eunuchs in the palaces that anyone who has no errands and does not want to stay in their own palaces can come here regardless of their status.

Everyone responded, except for Su Qingluan who was "pregnant" and Shen Junan who was indifferent by nature, everyone who could come came.

A lot of little maids and eunuchs also came, and in the end there was no room to sit in the east and west halls, so they had to set up hundreds of braziers in the corridor, and use the small tea table to put out tea and snacks—the night wind was so cold, and the corridor was still full. people.

Lu Li didn't want to join in the fun, but Princess Jingmin sent people to urge him several times, so he finally decided to take a look.

He was going, so Su Qingyuan naturally had no reason to stay in the house by herself.

As a result, the ordinary keeping watch turned into a feast for all the concubines to compete for beauty.

Anyone who can enter the palace, whether it is a concubine or a court lady, everyone has two brushes.After a few cups of hot tea and hot wine, those who sang operas, danced, composed poems, played the piano... [-] kinds of martial arts took turns to perform, and they were well-known and lively.

Surrounded by the crowd, even if he did nothing, Lu Li was already surrounded by jewels and greenery, indulging in sensuality and richness.

Su Qingyuan came to Lu Li's side when she had time, and said in a low voice, "At this moment, you finally look like a fool."

Lu Li raised his eyelids and cast a sidelong glance at her.

In front of everyone, Su Qingyuan wanted to put on the empress dowager's airs, so she couldn't stare back face to face, she couldn't help feeling a little disconcerted.

As usual, Princess Jingmin was the one who clung to Lu Li.

Su Qingyuan observed carefully for a while, and saw that Jing Min was still as rash and outspoken as usual, and that scary little maid did not follow, so she was relieved.

From the looks of it, Aunt Nian didn't seem to plan to do anything wrong tonight.

"Brother Emperor, today is the holiday, why don't you accompany Jingmin to have a drink!" Princess Jingmin took Lu Li's sleeve and shook it back and forth, refusing to let go.

Lu Li didn't want to drink her wine.

To be exact, on an occasion like today, one drink cannot escape the second, and the most sensible choice is not to drink a drop.

More importantly, he remembered that someone said that he was not allowed to go to her after drinking.

Lu Li's gaze once again moved uncontrollably to Su Qingyuan.

At this time, Su Qingyuan had already turned her head to talk to Princess Hejing.

Today, none of the princesses from the vassal states came. I don't know if they were frightened by the matter of Princess Mingyue, or they went to watch the new year with their brothers and sisters in the inn.

Whatever comes has nowhere to go.

For example, Princess Hejing, her elder brother is busy getting angry about Princess Mingyue at the moment, so he doesn't care about her.

There is also Baili Yunyan in Xiliang——since the matter of concubine concubine was finalized, she has never been back to the post house, nor has she met her "brother" Baili Angju.

Su Qingyuan took Princess Hejing's hand and said with a smile: "There are so many people tonight, Mr. Duan wants to avoid suspicion, it's not convenient to come and accompany you, you don't have to be restrained, just treat yourself at your own home."

Princess Hejing lowered her head, and murmured: "Hejing is not restrained, it's just the first time seeing so many people, I'm not used to it."

Su Qingyuan smiled: "To be honest, I'm not used to it either."

At this time, a small actor was singing a cappella on the stage, and there was a commotion below.Princess Hejing saw that Su Qingyuan's words were amiable, so she became bolder and approached her in a low voice: "Actually, I really want to go back to the posthouse to accompany my third brother, but he doesn't like me going back. He doesn't have a concubine. I didn't bring my concubine Ji with me, so I must be very sad to be alone at this moment."

Su Qingyuan smiled and sighed: "Men, when they feel bad, they like to be alone; unlike us women, when we are sad, we look forward to being accompanied by others, and when we are bored, we also like to be in the crowd."

Princess Hejing pursed her lips and smiled: "That's right. Every time I went back to the post house, the third brother would always say a few words to me no matter how busy he was. Since Mingyue's sister had an accident, the third brother never wanted to see me again. Every time I go to see him, the servants always say that he is busy in the study."

Su Qingyuan frowned: "The third prince is still sad? But Princess Mingyue's injury shouldn't be a serious problem..."

Princess Hejing shook her head distressedly: "It may not be because of sadness. I heard from the servant that the third brother was a little angry at first, complaining in private that the emperor of Nanyue was too aggressive, and said that the most punishable thing is to fight with sister Mingyue. The court lady who made trouble...but the next day he was not angry, he just hid himself from seeing people, and said something like 'ghost obsessed', which the servants couldn't understand."

Su Qingyuan pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Have you visited Princess Mingyue? How is she doing now?"

Princess Hejing looked distressed: "I have never liked Sister Mingyue, and Sister Mingyue doesn't like me either. I was only sent by the third brother to visit her on the first day she was injured. Later, the third brother did not allow me to see her." When I went again, he also explained that Sister Yue was a liar, and I was not allowed to get close to him—I guess, the third brother probably knew about Sister Mingyue's courtship in front of the Nanyue Emperor!"

Su Qingyuan raised the corners of her lips and smiled slightly: "The way is different, so we don't conspire with each other. You and Princess Mingyue are not the same kind of people, so it's fine if you don't see her."

Princess Hejing lowered her head and smiled, with the corners of her lips slightly raised: "I always think that third brother should be worthy of someone better."

"You're right." Su Qingyuan squeezed her hand.

At this time, a young eunuch suddenly came to report that it was the sixth prince of Xiliang who came to visit.

Su Qingyuan froze for a moment.

Yong'an Hall is located between the front and rear palaces, and banquets are often held here, so the arrival of Baili Angju is not surprising.

The problem is that the people who are watching the new year here tonight are all from the harem, and it would be somewhat rude for a foreigner to visit rashly.

Lu Li was obviously also very surprised, he hesitated for a moment before saying "Please".

Baili Yunyan immediately stood up and hid behind Su Qingyuan.

Baili Angju walked in quickly.

Su Qingyuan noticed that he seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, his feet were a little staggered, his face was full of sorrow, and he didn't have the vigorous look when he first met.

Lu Li smiled slightly, and said calmly, "On New Year's Eve, how come the Sixth Prince has time to come here?"

"Yan'er didn't come home, I came to look for her." Baili Angju said, looking around, apparently looking for Baili Yunyan.

Lu Li put down the teacup in his hand and smiled, "I didn't think carefully about this. I was only reluctant to let Concubine De go out of the palace because of myself, but I forgot that you, the elder brother, are also looking forward to her returning to her mother's house—since you have already come. , let’s sit down and have a drink.”

Baili Angju staggered a bit, walked up to Lu Li and sat down, and let out a dry wry smile: "Concubine De? She hasn't been canonized yet, and now she's still the princess of Xiliang, you should change your words sooner!"

Lu Li ordered the little eunuch to fill up the wine for him, and smiled very calmly: "Since the matter has been settled, the Concubine De is the Concubine De, what difference does it make if you call him a day earlier or a day later?"

"Of course there is a difference! The wedding hasn't happened yet, should Yan'er just follow you without a name?" Bai Li Angju slapped the table heavily, without any scruples about face.

Lu Li was not annoyed, and still smiled lightly: "The canonization ceremony is scheduled for the eighth day of the first lunar month, and it is only a few days away. Why do you have to be so clear about it? I heard that you Xiliang people are generous and informal. Why is the Sixth Prince even more particular than us South Vietnamese?"

"You are the one who took advantage, of course you don't care!" Bai Li Angju stood up with a "huh".

Lu Li seemed a bit dumbfounded: "Your sixth prince facilitated this marriage at the beginning, but now you are saying that I was the one who took advantage of it—what's the reason?"

Baili Angju didn't answer Lu Li's words.

He had already seen Baili Yunyan behind Su Qingyuan, and rushed towards him without hesitation.

Su Qingyuan got up very shamelessly and stepped aside.

There is no way, drunk people are terrible, and they cannot be provoked.

Baili Yunyan made a gesture of running away, but didn't even take a step away.

So Baili Angju grabbed her easily and pulled her into his arms.

There were several exclamations around.

The little girls were all terrified.But then, they expressed their understanding: brothers and sisters love each other deeply!

"Follow me!" Baili Angju grabbed Baili Yunyan's wrist, trying to pull her out.

"The Empress Dowager, save me! The Emperor, save me!" Baili Yunyan struggled, turning her head and desperately calling for help.

As a result, the anger in Baili Angju's heart burned even more.Regardless of Baili Yunyan's struggle, he hugged her up and strode out the door.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other.

Su Qingyuan raised her head and said to Lu Li: "The sixth prince seems to be drunk. Although I don't know why he is angry, but... Yan'er is a girl after all, if you bump into each other, you will definitely feel distressed .”

"I'll go and have a look!" Lu Li stood up.

Su Qingyuan nodded, smiled and said to everyone: "It's nothing serious, let's continue."

Princess Hejing tugged at Su Qingyuan's sleeve, and asked worriedly: "The Sixth Prince of Xiliang...will he beat people?"

Su Qingyuan patted her hand reassuringly: "Don't worry. Whose brothers and sisters have been fighting since childhood? Let them go!"

"My family won't fight..." Princess Hejing retorted softly.

Su Qingyuan couldn't help laughing.

This little girl is quite interesting, no wonder Duan Ran fell in love with her immediately.

It's just that Duan's surname is really a bit of a jerk. It's a pity that Princess Hejing married him, such a good girl!

Tonight, the servants who had no errands all went to Yong'an Hall, so other places seemed much deserted.

In the side room next to the Chaogan Hall, Baili Yunyan was thrown to the ground, curled up in a corner and sobbed.

Baili Angju walked back and forth in front of her, panting heavily.

After turning around hundreds of times, he finally bent down again and grabbed Baili Yunyan by the collar: "Is he really treating you well?"

Baili Yunyan raised her head, held back her tears, and sneered: "Of course! He is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you!"

Pain appeared on Baili Angju's face.

He let go of his hand slowly, and said in a low voice: "But he has many concubines, and he is still unclear with his queen mother... That woman is vicious and jealous, your life will not be easy after entering the palace..."

Baili Yunyan still sneered: "Impossible! The Empress Dowager treats me extremely well, even better than my own sisters! I am much more comfortable in Nanyue Palace than by your side! I have had enough of you!"

"Have enough of me? But you clearly said that night..." Bai Li Angju's face was hurt.

"That night? Which night?" Baili Yunyan asked knowingly.

Baili Angju hesitated for a moment, and changed the subject: "Yan'er, if you are wronged, you can tell me. If they dare to bully you, don't bear it. In the eyes of our Xiliang children, there has never been the word 'forbearance'." Character!"

Baili Yunyan supported the base of the wall and slowly sat up steadily, showing a mocking smile: "You delivered me to the emperor of Nanyue yourself, and begged him to accept me... now he really If you accept it, your wish will be considered fulfilled, why do you have to pretend to care about me! If you really care about me, how could you send me in! Baili Angju, I have seen through you, In the past ten years or so, I only thought that I was blind and fell in love with a dog...don't come to see me again!"

"Yan'er! You know, I also have my difficulties..." Baili Angju squatted down, looking into Baili Yunyan's eyes with tears in his eyes.

Baili Yunyan's smile gradually turned bitter.

She stood up slowly, leaned against the wall and coughed twice: "I don't blame you, I just don't want to see you anymore. Sixth brother, I always knew you didn't like me. It was my fault that I plotted against you earlier. .Now I really don't like you anymore. From now on, you are just my sixth brother, just a very distant natal family. After you set off to return to China, I will forget you...you should forget me too. "

"No!" Baili Angju became anxious, stood up and pressed Baili Yunyan's shoulders with both hands.

"What are you doing? At this point, do you want to go back on your word?" Baili Yunyan's face darkened.

Bai Li Angju gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, I regret it! Yan'er, I can't accept that you marry someone else, that you are in love with other men and have children—you are mine!"

"Sixth brother, your wine taste is too bad. Every time you are drunk, you don't talk about human beings or do human affairs, but you never admit it when you wake up." Baili Yunyan turned her head away, and even looked I don't want to look at him again.

Baili Angju stood in a daze for a long time, then raised his hand to push Baili Yunyan against the wall: "It's not that I'm not good at wine, I'm just lack of courage—Yan'er, I'm afraid! You don't know that you will How much trouble I have encountered, but I know... I am reluctant to let you face those! I remember everything I said and did!"

Baili Yunyan was silent for a long time, and her expression finally eased.

Bai Li Angju was overjoyed: "You promised... to go back with me?"

"Go back? And then? How do you plan to arrange me? Do you dare to tell Father in person that you want me to be your woman?" Baili Yunyan asked.

Baili Angju hesitated and said nothing.

Therefore, Baili Yunyan smiled: "Sixth brother, if I had a little fantasy before, now... I really give up on you."

Baili Angju suddenly became furious.

He suddenly grabbed Baili Yunyan's shoulders, and grabbed her collar with his right hand: "No, I won't let you give up! You are mine, Yan'er, you have always had me in your heart for so many years... You even gave me your body, how could you give up easily! You are angry with me and deliberately stabbed me with words, aren't you? "

Baili Yunyan shook her head vigorously, trying to speak, but couldn't even catch her breath.

At this moment, the door of the room that was originally hidden opened suddenly, and the light of several lanterns pierced in, dazzling people's eyes.

It was Lu Li who entered.

He walked quickly to Baili Angju, put his hand on his shoulder: "Let her go!"

Baili Angju hesitated for a moment, then let go.

Baili Yunyan immediately slid down and coughed against the wall.

Lu Li knelt down and gently patted her on the back: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Baili Yunyan smiled slightly, her face pale.

Baili Angju looked on, feeling very dazzling.

So, he bent down and grabbed Baili Yunyan's wrist: "She is not your concubine now, you should let her go!"

Lu Li really let go of his hand immediately.

Baili Angju was a little surprised.

At this moment, Lu Li looked away from Baili Yunyan and looked at Baili Angju: "Say what you said just now again?"

Baili Angju's face changed greatly: "What are you talking about?"

Lu Li crossed his arms and took a step back, "I seem to have heard something I shouldn't have heard."

Baili Angju was stunned.

He was seven or eight times drunk, and it was difficult for him to deal with such a sudden problem.

Lu Li waited for a while, but when he didn't speak, he walked to the table and sat down: "I've always wondered why you were in such a hurry to marry Yan'er to South Vietnam—now I seem to understand."

"Did you misunderstand something?" Baili Angju forced a dry smile on his pale face.

Baili Yunyan watched from the side, and laughed "ha".

Lu Li smiled very calmly: "Of course, it's best to misunderstand. I like Yan'er's temperament very much. There are not many women in my harem who are pleasing to the eye. You, a good sister, just fit my eyes. The two countries If we can marry Qin and Jin, it is something I can only wish for."

Baili Angju's expression gradually eased a little.

But Lu Li continued: "Of course, you must know that there are some customary rules in South Vietnam. For example, a woman's chastity is always valued more than her life. I am the king of a country, and I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. I know that someone deliberately deceived me and the Nanyue royal family to shame—that would probably not be a matter of one or two lives!"

Baili Angju's expression turned serious.

Lu Li smiled and extended his hand to Baili Yunyan: "You won't lie to me, will you?"

Baili Yunyan hid her hands behind her back and asked in a crying voice, "If I lied to you, what would you do? Are you going to kill me?"

"Yan'er, don't talk nonsense!" Baili Angju was anxious.

The smile on Lu Li's face remained unchanged: "Of course not—such a shame, how can killing you alone be eliminated?"

"You want to fight, but I, Xiliang, am not afraid!" Baili Angju said in a deep voice.

Lu Li turned to look at him: "Of course Xiliang is not afraid. Besides, Xiliang married a woman who lost her virginity and came to South Vietnam. It's hard to say who is more humiliated, so you can be regarded as confident. I just have some regrets..."

"What are you sorry about?" Bai Li Angju asked eagerly when he saw him pause.

Lu Li smiled and looked at Baili Yunyan: "I hope I worry too much, and I hope the princess can take care of herself."

"Your Majesty..." Baili Yunyan hesitated to speak.

Lu Li stood up, smiling, and walked out slowly.

Baili Angju hesitated to speak, but Baili Yunyan chased him two steps away, but Lu Li ignored him.

The light gradually faded away, and the door was still open.

Baili Yunyan was still standing against the wall, covering her face with her hands, and shedding tears.

Baili Angju hesitated for a long time, then came over and grabbed her shoulders: "Don't cry, we won't get married anymore."

Baili Yunyan shook off his hand, and screamed: "At this point, you say you won't marry if you don't want to marry? I want to marry! The worst thing is death, am I still afraid of death!"

Bai Li Angju's face was pale: "No! Lu Li is not a good person, if he gets violent, your end may not be as simple as death!"

"No matter how miserable the end was, I found it myself, and I didn't ask you to take responsibility, so why are you panicking?" Baili Yunyan sneered.

Baili Angju hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No...he said the war between the two countries so easily, he probably still has a hole card, I can't take this risk."

Baili Yunyan savored his words carefully, and she didn't even have the energy to sneer.

Baili Angju grabbed her hand and held it tightly: "Major events in the world should not be trifled with, and I don't want you to take such a big risk. Yan'er, come home with me! Tomorrow I will tell the Emperor of Nanyue to cancel this matter." Marriage—there is already Jing Min in the Nanyue Palace, this marriage has no meaning in the first place.”

Baili Yunyan looked up at him, feeling sad.

In Fanghua Palace, Su Qingyuan looked at the man who got into her bed unceremoniously, and frowned: "Why did you come back so late? Did you watch a good show that you shouldn't have?"

"Why, it's a pity that I didn't take you to see it?" Lu Li asked with a smile.

Su Qingyuan rolled his eyes at him: "Forget it, I don't have that hobby!"

Lu Li pulled her into his arms, smiled and sighed, "To be honest, I thought there would be a good show, but I was disappointed."

"What?" Su Qingyuan was a little surprised.

Lu Li shook his head slowly: "Let's not talk about them, let's talk about ourselves—you came back so early to wait for me?"

"It's too noisy over there, and I get a headache after sitting for a long time." Su Qingyuan shrank back under the quilt.

Lu Li hooked her waist, leaned into her ear and smiled softly, "Whether it's a real headache or a fake headache, you and I both know very well—I'm an old couple, why are you still so shy?"

"Lu Li, there are still many things to be busy tomorrow." Su Qingyuan grabbed the corner of the quilt and looked at him vigilantly.

This level of resistance was completely negligible in Lu Li's view.He easily snatched the quilt and smiled: "But tonight we have to observe the New Year's Eve as usual, we can't break the rules."
