Chapter 183 The Man Behind the Scenes Exposure
Chapter 183 The Man Behind the Scenes Exposure
In the tavern, Liu Lian whimpered, "General, the general has changed!"
"I didn't expect that the general would do it for a woman..." Shao Xinyi choked up and couldn't speak.
Fan Ying shook her head while drinking, "Beauty Township, Hero Tomb~"
Yu Zhan lowered his head and drank the wine.
Liu Lian stubbornly wiped away tears, "General, do we still want to follow such a great general?"
Shao Xin took a deep breath: "Liu Lian, do you want to..."
Liu Lian forcefully put down the wine bowl, "I will follow the general, I will go wherever the general goes!"
Fan Ying continued to shake her head, sighing to herself, "A scholar who dies for his confidant~"
Yu Zhan picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it in one gulp, poured another full bowl, "Stop talking, come, drink!"
Just like yesterday, the few people left drunkenly, but compared to yesterday, when the few people left, they were more sad and confused.
When Yu Zhan was passing through the alley yesterday, not without accident, he ran into the man wearing the bamboo hat again.
"Who is your master?" Yu Zhan asked in a deep voice.
Now it was the turn of the man in the bamboo hat to be surprised, "General Yu has changed his mind?"
"I, Yu Zhan, don't deal with unknown people!"
"General Yu, don't worry, the person I'm introducing next is a person who is qualified to aspire to the throne!"
"I, Yu Zhan, only follow people who can convince me!"
"There is no need to worry about this General Yu. Since he is determined to win the throne, no matter his ability or character, he is naturally a dragon and a phoenix among men!"
"Then who is your master?"
The man in the bamboo hat fell silent.
Yu Zhan sneered and said, "How can you convince Yu of the existence that people can't even know?"
"My master said that if General Yu insists on seeing him, I can recommend you!" said the man in the bamboo hat.
"Well, see you at Yunlai Restaurant at noon tomorrow!"
"This…"
"If your master doesn't even have the courage to meet Yu in person, how can you talk about making Yu surrender?"
The man in the bamboo hat paused, "Go back and ask for instructions..."
"Tomorrow at noon, Yunlai Restaurant, don't wait after the expiration date!"
-
At noon the next day, Yun came to the restaurant.
In an exquisite private room, sitting cross-legged was a man dressed in green clothes.
With a beautiful face and a gentle temperament, the jade crown on her head is shiny and shiny, and the green clothes on her body are embroidered with dark patterns, simple and elegant.
Sake was boiled in a small stove on the table, the thin smoke was lingering, and the aroma of the wine filled the entire private room.
Yu Zhan pushed open the door and was stunned when he saw the man, "Is that you?"
The man smiled slightly, "General Yu, please sit down."
Yu Zhan sat down in his robe, "I didn't expect it to be you!"
The man poured a cup of hot wine with his own hands, "I have the ambition to become the emperor. I have money and someone else. The only thing missing is soldiers. General Yu has outstanding military exploits, wisdom, strategy and martial arts. All he lacks is a chance to become famous in the world. You and I join forces, you give me soldiers, and I give you a chance, what does General Yu think?"
He put the wine glass in front of Yu Zhan, "General Yu please use it."
Yu Zhan sat still, "You can see my soldiers, but I can't see your opportunities!"
"The tiles in the southwest have been flattened, King Rui is guarding Beizhou in the north, Ning's army is as stable as a city wall in the northwest, and the South China Sea is a natural barrier in the south. Only Dongyuan in the east is the opportunity for General Yu to make a name for himself! Three years The former Prince Xiao defeated Ula, and Ula was forced to sign a ten-year non-war treaty with Tianwu. Dongyuan has been stable for two years. A year ago, the new emperor of Dongyuan ascended the throne. Gu Renhe of the Yuan Dynasty asked the court for [-] reserve army support, and the Ula army died down.
But if someone goes to Ula, assassinates the new emperor, and provokes secretly, the new emperor will definitely send troops to fight against Dongyuan. At that time, I will try to make Gu Renhe lose two battles and be injured, forcing him to send reinforcements to the court, and General Yu can take the initiative to call for war !Gu Renhe's soldiers are all former subordinates of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. As Xiao Shizi's capable general, as long as you go to Dongyuan, those people will definitely obey you. In this way, General Yu can take Dongyuan 30 troops shake hands!With your talent, defeating Ula is only a matter of time!If you are lucky, you can become famous in one battle! "
Veins popped up on Yu Zhan's forehead, "You want me to use the bones of tens of thousands of Dongyuan soldiers and the famous name of General Gu to pave the way for me to become famous?"
The man said disapprovingly: "One general's achievements will last forever! Which famous general has countless soldiers' bones piled up under his feet? Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters!"
Yu Zhanhuo stood up, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Yu can't agree! Yu has today, it is the sacrifice and trust of the soldiers. If possible, Yu hopes to exchange his life for theirs! Different ways, different opinions For the sake of conspiracy, today, Yu will act as if he has never been here, and leave!"
The man turned a blind eye to his behavior, and took a sip of wine gracefully, feeling drunk, and a blush appeared on his fair face, "General Yu, come and leave whenever you want, what do you think I am?"
Yu Zhan sneered and said: "You still want to force Yu to fail? Yu's head can be bleeding and he will never do what he doesn't want to do!"
"I admire General Yu's character! But should General Yu think about his family?" The man put down the wine cup, "Bring it up!"
"Master!" "Father!" "Grandfather!"
With three weeping voices, Yu Zhan's eyes were tearing apart, "You actually threatened me with such low-handed means?"
The man smiled slightly, "General Yu, I still say the same thing, those who achieve big things don't care about trivial matters! If you can get General Yu to rely on me, what is this small trick?"
Yu Zhan cursed, "You are really despicable and shameless! Fortunately, I don't have the heart to take refuge in you, otherwise I, Yu Zhan, would poke my eyes and die to apologize!"
The man finally changed his face, "General Yu, if you continue to use your words, don't blame me for taking your grandson first!"
"Grandfather!" The three-year-old grandson Yu Hai hid in the arms of his aunt Yu Yan, Yu Zhan's youngest daughter, crying childishly.
Yu Zhan's eyes were red, and he stood awe-inspiring, "I, Yu Zhan, stand upright and will never associate with villains!"
"Father, my daughter supports you!" Yu Yan said loudly.
"Spine!" The man sneered, "Do it!"
A guard snatched Yu Hai from Yu Yan's hand in response, and Yu Yan used all her strength to protect her. Although she was a daughter, she had learned a few tricks from Yu Zhan, and the guard couldn't snatch her for a while.
"Things that don't exist!" The man reprimanded softly: "Kill them all!"
Yu Zhan rushed up to stop him, but was blocked by two guards and couldn't escape. Seeing that Yu Yan was invincible, the cold long sword was about to pierce Yu Yan's body.
"Swallow!" Yu Zhan screamed mournfully.
At this moment, "Boom!" A stone flew out from nowhere and knocked out the long sword in the guard's hand.
Immediately afterwards, the private room door was kicked open, and a man in a crescent-colored brocade robe, holding the hand of a purple-clothed woman, walked in from the outside.
The two of them had light dancing ink hair, lightly fluttering robe corners, beautiful faces, and they were all over the country and the city.
"I've seen the eldest prince!"
Wu Yuan, a man in Chinese clothes, changed his color slightly. It was expected that they would discover his identity. However, he has set up a net in this restaurant. No matter whether Yu Zhan is sincerely surrendering or trying to test him out, he intends to use the lives of Yu's family to force Yu Zhan to surrender, and then Get out!
But I didn't expect Yu Zhan to be so tough, and I didn't expect Xiao Yichen to attack so quickly!
Wu Yuan quickly returned to normal, "Xiao Shizi, princess! I haven't congratulated you two yet! Congratulations on your marriage!"
"Thank you, First Prince!" Xiao Yichen slightly nodded, "General Yu, I'm sorry to have surprised you and your family."
Yu Zhan's eyes were red, "This is the duty of the general."
Seeing this, how could Wuyuan not understand?He smiled lightly, "So it's really a trap!"
Lu Xinyan said: "Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish will be hooked! If the eldest prince is not willing, how could he fall into this trap?"
"If the princess hadn't used the Suyifang to completely suppress the business firms under the prince and push the prince into a hurry, the prince would not have taken the risk!"
"The eldest prince secretly manipulated various people to deal with me many times. I just fought back for self-protection."
Wu Yuan sighed: "I have been planning for three years, but I am no match for your counterattack! If you can be used by me, why should I worry about my great success? A town government should not restrain your wings and cover your light !Princess, are you interested in going to the top with me? I, Wuyuan, hereby promise that if I become emperor in the future, I will appoint you as queen!"
Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "I'm a very small person. It's enough to guard my things for the rest of my life, and my heart is also very small. If anyone does me wrong, I will pay it back tenfold!"
"The princess is trying to swear against the prince?"
"Even if I don't swear against the eldest prince, will you let me go? In that case, it's better to go to war directly!"
"The princess's ambition is not inferior to that of a man, this prince admires it!" Wu Yuandao: "However, this prince is very curious about two things, I hope you two can clarify my doubts for me?"
Xiao Yichen said: "Eldest Prince, please tell me!"
"First, how did you determine that the person in the dark is me? Second, why do you have to expose me and deal with me secretly, wouldn't it be more beneficial to you?"
Lu Xinyan said: "The first question, let me answer you, the eldest prince. Luo Shi, the younger sister-in-law and concubine of the former imperial envoy of the left capital, Zhong Han, is not well-known, and there are limited people who can come and go. The sister-in-law of her natal cousin's husband's family has come and gone, which is one of the clues to suspect that the eldest prince is the person behind the scenes;
Not long ago, I took the pearl hairpin to Ruyifang for repairs. When I met the eldest prince, Xiao He said that the eldest princess seldom went out due to her health, so she hadn’t worn pearl hairpins for a long time, but the eldest prince ordered one or two pieces for the eldest prince every month. Concubine, on the surface it seems that it is because of the love between the eldest prince and the eldest princess concubine, but from a woman's intuition, if you really love someone, you must give them what they want, not what you want, so the eldest prince often goes to Ruyifang There must be another purpose!
After investigation, it was found that Ruyifang turned out to be one of the secret properties of the eldest prince!What's even more coincidental is that the phoenix crown I married was ordered by my mother at Ruyifang, and the eight pearls on the phoenix crown were priceless, so I guessed that the eldest prince must have accidentally seen the phoenix crown three years ago and was surprised. After conducting an in-depth investigation of my mother's property, it was discovered that the number was frighteningly huge, and that's why I started to conspire!
But at that time, I had already married into the Guangping Marquis Mansion, and the Guangping Marquis Mansion and the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, the mother’s family of the empress’s sister-in-law, were related by marriage. The eldest prince was afraid that the second prince would know the existence of my dowry, so he didn’t dare to rob it openly, so he manipulated the Marquis secretly. People in the mansion want to quietly take away my dowry!After failing, the eldest prince took the opportunity to get close to Xiao He again, and at the critical moment, quietly obtained information, robbed Uber's leather goods, and wanted to avenge the Battle of Liangxing!This is the second clue;
Tian Bin, the son of the owner of Tianji Pavilion, is the nephew of Uncle Tian, who is close to me. A few days ago, he came to Beijing unintentionally. There are many people who are dissatisfied with me, but there are not many people who want to kill me and have the ability to kill me. I guess some people don't want me to marry Shizi Xiao, and set up this situation to kill me!The grandparents who sang and sang were killed the next day. After a few days of investigation, it was verified that someone had seen the steward of Ruyifang and had contact with him. This is the third clue; if these three clues are combined, it must be the eldest prince! "
Xiao Yichen continued: "As for why the eldest prince was forced into the open, why hasn't the eldest prince heard the news yet? It seems that the eldest prince's people are a little slow in delivering news!"
Just as he finished speaking, a black-clothed man with slightly disheveled hair came in from the outside. After paying respects to Wu Yuan, regardless of the presence of the crowd, he immediately whispered a few words in his ear.
Wuyuan's face was as dark as night, and he stood up uncontrollably at the end, with an anger that Lu Xinyan had never seen before, "Xiao Shizi, you actually exposed all the people in the various ministries of this prince to the second emperor and the fourth brother?" The emperor knows? You want to deal with me, why don't you just report to the father?"
"The eldest prince understands the emperor's temperament better than me. At this time, the emperor wishes to have more power to compete with the two, three, four and three princes. If he finds out that you are secretly deploying your own power, he will be more happy than angry. Once you know, you won’t do anything to those people! But if the second and fourth princes find out, can the first prince just stand behind the scenes and give advice?”
"You want to force me to face the second and fourth princes?" Wu Yuan's expression darkened, "Or, you want them to deal with me!"
Xiao Yichen nodded and admitted, "That's right! The First Prince has been deployed secretly for many years, and his strength is unfathomable. I dare not pretend to be arrogant. Instead of attacking alone with the Princess, it is better to pull the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince together. This way the chances of winning are greater! And in this way, the eldest prince will not have the energy to seek the princess's dowry."
Wu Yuan tightened his palms, "Xiao Shizi is very scheming!"
"Thank you, First Prince, for your compliment!" Xiao Yichen cupped his hands, "First Prince, if there are no other questions, I will take my people and leave first."
"Please!" It is easy to break through his layers of defense to come to this private room, and his people can't stop him, Wu Yuan raised his hand, "Let him go!"
After leaving, Yu Zhan brought his family to express their gratitude, "Thank you General, thank you princess!"
Lu Xinyan said: "General Yu, you don't have to be polite, but we came late and surprised Mrs. Yu, Miss Yu and Young Master Yu. Tomorrow I will ask someone to prepare a small gift as a shock to everyone."
"Don't dare, let the princess sacrifice her image to cooperate, and let the brothers in the army misunderstand the character of the princess, Yu is deeply sorry!"
Yu Zhan was careful. When rumors spread that Lu Xinyan planned to marry Xiao Yichen regardless of face, he asked Xiao Yichen privately. You may not believe it, but Yu Zhan is someone who has experienced it, and the affection in Xiao Yichen's eyes cannot deceive anyone.
At the same time, he knew that Li Yu's drug and its formula were given by Lu Xinyan's servant girl, who is now Princess Mingzhi.
Without the drug and formula, even with Li Yu's dog nose, the battle to conquer the west would have been a disaster for everyone.
After learning more about Lu Xinyan's deeds, the Huayi Festival, the Suyifang, the Battle of the Grain Shop, and the fur counterattack, Yu Zhan can almost be sure that Lu Xinyan is not a confidante, but a rare woman in the world who is good enough to be married to Xiao Yichen !
Later, when he met Lu Xinyan in person and saw that she didn't have the same admiration that other women saw when they saw Xiao Yichen, Yu Zhan was even more sure that what Xiao Yichen said was true, and that his judgment was right!
"The eldest prince has plotted against me time and time again. I acted this time for myself. General Yu put my family in danger for me. If the general doesn't accept me, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"
"Princess..."
Xiao Yichen interrupted, "There is no need to evade! Uncle Yu accepts the princess's gift and apology, and the princess accepts Uncle Yu's apology, this is an order!"
"Yes, General!"
Lu Xinyan glanced at him, "According to the son!"
-
Huanxi Yuan, Xiao He happily ran over, "Miss, are you back?"
The current Xiaohe is as long as the wind. It used to only reach the height of her ears, but now it has reached the position of her eyebrows. The baby fat on the face has faded a lot, and the figure is like a willow, slender and slender, with a soft and girlish arc. .
Lu Xinyan asked softly: "I'm back, can you help me?"
About Wu Yuan, Lu Xinyan didn't know how to tell Xiao He that Wu Yuan had saved Xiao He's life, and what happened during the Wuyang Hou Mansion's dress-up competition was definitely planned by Wu Yuan for her, but Xiao He's falling into the water was the result of Unexpectedly, Wu Yuan had a different purpose in saving Xiao He, but no one could deny that he was Xiao He's savior, just like no one could deny that Wu Yuan was Xiao He's hero.
Xiaohe has a pure personality, but at the same time has paranoia that others cannot understand. For example, she is devoted to being good to Lu Xinyan, and believes that Wu Yuan and Xia Jinxin are good people. Lu Xinyan does not want her to be hurt. Don't tell Xiao He.
"Miss, can I go out and buy fireworks?" Xiao He blinked.
Uncle Tian was injured, Junwu returned to Linlang Pavilion, Ziyan often took time to take care of Uncle Tian, Huanxi Courtyard was full of female relatives, so it was inconvenient to run errands.
"Okay, let Ziyan take you out to buy tomorrow."
Xiao He smiled like a flower, "Thank you miss!"
"Do you want to ask the little monkey to accompany you?"
Xiao He cheered, "Great! I'm worried about not knowing what to buy alone, and the little monkey is very familiar with these!"
"I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."
"Then I won't disturb Miss's rest, I'll go find the little bastard!"
Xiao He hummed an unknown song, and walked away bouncing around.
Lu Xinyan looked at her back and sighed softly.
-
Tomorrow's New Year's Eve, today 29 is the last morning morning of this year.
After today, the morning court will be formalized after the Lantern Festival.
In the Hall of Valor, all the ministers looked relaxed, with much more smiles on their faces, no matter whether they had the same or different political views.
After reporting on today's important events one by one, there is one last topic left: the arrangements for the personnel of the reception team of the Wacha envoys.
Since the founding of Tianwu, this is the first time that Wacha sent envoys to Tianwu, and they sent the prince Wu Shan, the candidate for Wacha's next great king, and the eldest princess Wu Wu, the most beautiful woman of Wacha. Emperor Longde was very happy about this. Pay attention to.
"Dear dears, do you have any suggestions for the reception staff?" Emperor Longde asked.
Wu Yuan and Wu Zhe came out at the same time, "Father, my son is willing to take charge of all the reception matters."
Most of the officials were surprised, and Emperor Longde was also surprised.
It's not surprising that Wu Zhe would take the initiative to invite Ying, but Wu Yuan, the eldest prince Wu Yuan, who has always been unknown in the court, never expresses his opinions, and lives like air, will stand up and compete with others.
Emperor Longde's eyes were full of inquiry and playfulness, "Yuan'er, why do you have such an idea?"
Wu Yuandao: "Returning to my father, my son reflected on himself two days ago. As the great prince of Tianwu Kingdom, he should do his best for the people of Tianwu and share his father's worries. Assuming the responsibility of being the eldest prince, I feel deeply guilty! I implore the emperor to give this minister a chance, and I will do my best to make the Wacha envoys return with satisfaction!"
Wu Zhe immediately rushed forward and said, "Father, my son..."
Emperor Longde stretched out his hand to stop him, "Okay, it's rare that Yuan'er has such a responsibility, I agree with you!"
Wu Che closed his mouth unwillingly, and looked at Wu Yuan with eyes full of anger.
Wu Yuan couldn't help being overjoyed, "Thank you, father, for making it happen!"
Everything was as expected by Lu Xinyan and Xiao Yichen. In order to preserve the power he had gained over the years, Wu Yuan had no choice but to step forward and become a new force in the court, so that those who had been exposed by Xiao Yichen could follow him openly. he!
And Emperor Longde will support Wu Yuan without hesitation to become the fourth force in the court!
The more dispersed the power in the court, the easier it is for Emperor Longde to control it. This is a great thing for him who does not want to delegate power!
A small number of people who already knew the truth, such as Ge Taishi and Kong Shangshu, were expressionless on the surface, but their hearts were turbulent.
After knowing that some of their subordinates turned out to be from Wuyuan, they immediately planned to find an opportunity to eradicate them, but they didn't expect Wuyuan to move so fast. Without arousing Emperor Longde's suspicion, their original eradication plan had to be cut in half, and they could only plan it slowly!
The candidates for the reception group are still being discussed. In order to show the importance they attach to the Wacha envoys, a prince reception group and a princess reception group were specially formed.
Xiao Yichen and Li Yu, members of the Prince's Reception Group, were chosen by Waci to be in the reception group, and the other six were selected plus two backups: Wuyuan, the Fourth Prince Wu Yun, Gongsun Mobai, Yan Yulang, Qi Yousheng, Wan Zi Heng, Wu Zhe and Wu Sheng served as backup.
Emperor Longde did this because he was afraid that Wu Yuan would not be able to suppress Wu Zhe and Wu Sheng, so he made the two of them back up. The inexperienced Wu Yun pulled them out together for a trial.
The candidates for the princess reception group were negotiated by the empress dowager and the empress earlier. Wu Zhen, Wu Wan, Lu Xinyan, Wen Ruxiang, Kong Yuxi, Yan Qingruo, Zhang Ruomei, He Qingqing, and Bai Zhi were the backup candidates due to their excellent medical skills.
Zhang Ruomei is the eldest granddaughter of the Minister of Rites.
He Qingqing is the eldest daughter of a doctor from the Ministry of Industry. Most people were surprised that the daughter of a fifth-rank doctor was selected, but it was just a surprise. In their eyes, it was just to eat, drink and have fun with Princess Wacha. It's the same for all the ladies, anyway, everything that needs to be done is handled by the etiquette department.
The imperial decree and Yi decree were circulated on the same day. The Wacha envoys set off on the first day of the new year and arrived at Tianwu on about 25. The relevant people will be in place after the Lantern Festival.
After receiving Yi's decree, He Qingqing immediately went to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yan's Mansion with her maid and gifts to find Yan Qingruo.
"Sister Qingruo, thank you so much!" He Qingqing said gratefully. Her father, He Ci, was Yan Shangshu's subordinate. He Qingqing had supported Yan Qingruo since childhood. The two had a good relationship. In the capital city, He Qingqing had no intention of expressing that he wanted to meet Prince Wacha and the princess in person, but Yan Qingruo unexpectedly recommended her in front of the queen mother.
Yan Qingruo took her hand and sat down, "It's all about Sister He, you have a reputation for being virtuous. I only mentioned it in front of the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect her to have heard of your name before, so I named you Sister He."
He Qingqing signaled the servant girl to bring the gift, "Anyway, if Sister Qing Ruo hadn't mentioned it, the Queen Mother would not have thought of me. Sister Qing Ruo will accept these gifts no matter what!"
"Sister He, you're too out of touch like this!" Yan Qingruo pouted, "It's as if I'm helping you because of your courtesy."
He Qingqing smiled and nodded her pouting lips, "You, it's fifteen years old, you can't do such childish actions anymore, you know? My gift represents my little heart. If you refuse, I will I won't bother you with anything next time."
Seeing what she said, Yan Qingruo had no choice but to accept it.
After the two talked for a while, it was getting late, so He Qingqing left.
After getting out of the mansion and getting into the carriage, the maid Yinhua smiled, "Congratulations, Miss He Xi, this time joining the princess reception group, let everyone see the virtuousness of the lady, the status of the lady has risen, and soon I will be able to talk about it." It’s a good marriage! It’s not in vain that Miss has supported Miss Yan for so many years, and spent her dowry to give Miss Yan a gift!”
A smile appeared on He Qingqing's beautiful face, "My father is her grandfather's subordinate, and her promotion and retention are all up to her grandfather. If she doesn't support her, who will he support? Fortunately, my hard work was not in vain. If I perform well in receiving me this time, I will make the nobles in the palace Pay attention, Dad's right servant position is just around the corner!"
"Then it will really be a three-year blessing!" Yinhua flattered her a few words, and then said: "However, Miss, I don't know about one thing. With Miss Yan's background, she must not like the gifts you put so much effort into giving. , why do you keep sending it over and over again?"
What He Qingqing said was a small gift, to Yan Qingruo, it was really a small gift, but to He Qingqing, it almost exhausted the dowry her mother left her.
"I don't want a child to be a wolf! I have to let her see my heart, otherwise, over the years, there are so many girls who have been chasing after her, why is it that only my daughter, a fifth-rank doctor, can be worthy of her sister?"
"Miss is smart, the servant has been taught."
-
Xiao He went out happily early this morning, and the little monkey came to pick her up in person.
The two half-aged people between children and teenagers ran straight to South Street without using a carriage.
The little monkey has kung fu, and Xiao He is used to growing up in Zhuangzi since he was a child, and the two of them ran for half an hour without feeling tired.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, today the streets are crowded with people, every shop is full of people, exaggerated, there are long queues.
The New Year's goods on the street are unprecedentedly large, with many varieties and styles. Xiao He is dazzled by seeing them, and has long forgotten about buying fireworks.
"Little monkey, that lamp looks good, I want it."
"Little monkey, what kind of food is that store selling? It smells so good. I want to eat it."
Xiao He unceremoniously instructed the little monkey, and the little monkey happily ran around, not forgetting to tell Xiao He not to run around, so as not to be abducted.
It was noon soon, and after eating and drinking, a candy man's stall attracted Xiao He's attention. She pointed to the sugar man in the shape of Chang'e Flying to the Moon and said, "Little monkey, that sugar man is so beautiful. One!"
"Okay, you wait for me here, I'll be right back." The little monkey ran away.
There are many children around the sugar figurine stand, and the sugar figurines are freshly made, which takes a long time. Xiao He stood not far away and waited for a while, then became a little impatient, and turned to look at the crowded shop.
At this time, a sky-blue figure caught her eyes, like the blue sky above the white clouds.
Xiao He's eyes were quickly filled with light, she didn't care about saying hello to the little monkey, and ran directly towards that figure.
"Elder Prince!"
Someone pulled Wu Yuan's sleeve, he frowned, and after hearing the surprised girl's voice, he turned around involuntarily, with a strange expression on his face, "Xiao He?"
"Prince, why are you here?"
Xiao He's eyes are shining, just like every time I saw him before, they are as bright as the stars in the night sky, clean and pure, not stained with dust, so pure that people want to destroy them.
And in his heart, just like before, he doesn't understand why a person who is as low as dust always has such a pure, happy and carefree smile!
Such a smile wants to be plundered or destroyed!
(End of this chapter)
In the tavern, Liu Lian whimpered, "General, the general has changed!"
"I didn't expect that the general would do it for a woman..." Shao Xinyi choked up and couldn't speak.
Fan Ying shook her head while drinking, "Beauty Township, Hero Tomb~"
Yu Zhan lowered his head and drank the wine.
Liu Lian stubbornly wiped away tears, "General, do we still want to follow such a great general?"
Shao Xin took a deep breath: "Liu Lian, do you want to..."
Liu Lian forcefully put down the wine bowl, "I will follow the general, I will go wherever the general goes!"
Fan Ying continued to shake her head, sighing to herself, "A scholar who dies for his confidant~"
Yu Zhan picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it in one gulp, poured another full bowl, "Stop talking, come, drink!"
Just like yesterday, the few people left drunkenly, but compared to yesterday, when the few people left, they were more sad and confused.
When Yu Zhan was passing through the alley yesterday, not without accident, he ran into the man wearing the bamboo hat again.
"Who is your master?" Yu Zhan asked in a deep voice.
Now it was the turn of the man in the bamboo hat to be surprised, "General Yu has changed his mind?"
"I, Yu Zhan, don't deal with unknown people!"
"General Yu, don't worry, the person I'm introducing next is a person who is qualified to aspire to the throne!"
"I, Yu Zhan, only follow people who can convince me!"
"There is no need to worry about this General Yu. Since he is determined to win the throne, no matter his ability or character, he is naturally a dragon and a phoenix among men!"
"Then who is your master?"
The man in the bamboo hat fell silent.
Yu Zhan sneered and said, "How can you convince Yu of the existence that people can't even know?"
"My master said that if General Yu insists on seeing him, I can recommend you!" said the man in the bamboo hat.
"Well, see you at Yunlai Restaurant at noon tomorrow!"
"This…"
"If your master doesn't even have the courage to meet Yu in person, how can you talk about making Yu surrender?"
The man in the bamboo hat paused, "Go back and ask for instructions..."
"Tomorrow at noon, Yunlai Restaurant, don't wait after the expiration date!"
-
At noon the next day, Yun came to the restaurant.
In an exquisite private room, sitting cross-legged was a man dressed in green clothes.
With a beautiful face and a gentle temperament, the jade crown on her head is shiny and shiny, and the green clothes on her body are embroidered with dark patterns, simple and elegant.
Sake was boiled in a small stove on the table, the thin smoke was lingering, and the aroma of the wine filled the entire private room.
Yu Zhan pushed open the door and was stunned when he saw the man, "Is that you?"
The man smiled slightly, "General Yu, please sit down."
Yu Zhan sat down in his robe, "I didn't expect it to be you!"
The man poured a cup of hot wine with his own hands, "I have the ambition to become the emperor. I have money and someone else. The only thing missing is soldiers. General Yu has outstanding military exploits, wisdom, strategy and martial arts. All he lacks is a chance to become famous in the world. You and I join forces, you give me soldiers, and I give you a chance, what does General Yu think?"
He put the wine glass in front of Yu Zhan, "General Yu please use it."
Yu Zhan sat still, "You can see my soldiers, but I can't see your opportunities!"
"The tiles in the southwest have been flattened, King Rui is guarding Beizhou in the north, Ning's army is as stable as a city wall in the northwest, and the South China Sea is a natural barrier in the south. Only Dongyuan in the east is the opportunity for General Yu to make a name for himself! Three years The former Prince Xiao defeated Ula, and Ula was forced to sign a ten-year non-war treaty with Tianwu. Dongyuan has been stable for two years. A year ago, the new emperor of Dongyuan ascended the throne. Gu Renhe of the Yuan Dynasty asked the court for [-] reserve army support, and the Ula army died down.
But if someone goes to Ula, assassinates the new emperor, and provokes secretly, the new emperor will definitely send troops to fight against Dongyuan. At that time, I will try to make Gu Renhe lose two battles and be injured, forcing him to send reinforcements to the court, and General Yu can take the initiative to call for war !Gu Renhe's soldiers are all former subordinates of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. As Xiao Shizi's capable general, as long as you go to Dongyuan, those people will definitely obey you. In this way, General Yu can take Dongyuan 30 troops shake hands!With your talent, defeating Ula is only a matter of time!If you are lucky, you can become famous in one battle! "
Veins popped up on Yu Zhan's forehead, "You want me to use the bones of tens of thousands of Dongyuan soldiers and the famous name of General Gu to pave the way for me to become famous?"
The man said disapprovingly: "One general's achievements will last forever! Which famous general has countless soldiers' bones piled up under his feet? Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters!"
Yu Zhanhuo stood up, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Yu can't agree! Yu has today, it is the sacrifice and trust of the soldiers. If possible, Yu hopes to exchange his life for theirs! Different ways, different opinions For the sake of conspiracy, today, Yu will act as if he has never been here, and leave!"
The man turned a blind eye to his behavior, and took a sip of wine gracefully, feeling drunk, and a blush appeared on his fair face, "General Yu, come and leave whenever you want, what do you think I am?"
Yu Zhan sneered and said: "You still want to force Yu to fail? Yu's head can be bleeding and he will never do what he doesn't want to do!"
"I admire General Yu's character! But should General Yu think about his family?" The man put down the wine cup, "Bring it up!"
"Master!" "Father!" "Grandfather!"
With three weeping voices, Yu Zhan's eyes were tearing apart, "You actually threatened me with such low-handed means?"
The man smiled slightly, "General Yu, I still say the same thing, those who achieve big things don't care about trivial matters! If you can get General Yu to rely on me, what is this small trick?"
Yu Zhan cursed, "You are really despicable and shameless! Fortunately, I don't have the heart to take refuge in you, otherwise I, Yu Zhan, would poke my eyes and die to apologize!"
The man finally changed his face, "General Yu, if you continue to use your words, don't blame me for taking your grandson first!"
"Grandfather!" The three-year-old grandson Yu Hai hid in the arms of his aunt Yu Yan, Yu Zhan's youngest daughter, crying childishly.
Yu Zhan's eyes were red, and he stood awe-inspiring, "I, Yu Zhan, stand upright and will never associate with villains!"
"Father, my daughter supports you!" Yu Yan said loudly.
"Spine!" The man sneered, "Do it!"
A guard snatched Yu Hai from Yu Yan's hand in response, and Yu Yan used all her strength to protect her. Although she was a daughter, she had learned a few tricks from Yu Zhan, and the guard couldn't snatch her for a while.
"Things that don't exist!" The man reprimanded softly: "Kill them all!"
Yu Zhan rushed up to stop him, but was blocked by two guards and couldn't escape. Seeing that Yu Yan was invincible, the cold long sword was about to pierce Yu Yan's body.
"Swallow!" Yu Zhan screamed mournfully.
At this moment, "Boom!" A stone flew out from nowhere and knocked out the long sword in the guard's hand.
Immediately afterwards, the private room door was kicked open, and a man in a crescent-colored brocade robe, holding the hand of a purple-clothed woman, walked in from the outside.
The two of them had light dancing ink hair, lightly fluttering robe corners, beautiful faces, and they were all over the country and the city.
"I've seen the eldest prince!"
Wu Yuan, a man in Chinese clothes, changed his color slightly. It was expected that they would discover his identity. However, he has set up a net in this restaurant. No matter whether Yu Zhan is sincerely surrendering or trying to test him out, he intends to use the lives of Yu's family to force Yu Zhan to surrender, and then Get out!
But I didn't expect Yu Zhan to be so tough, and I didn't expect Xiao Yichen to attack so quickly!
Wu Yuan quickly returned to normal, "Xiao Shizi, princess! I haven't congratulated you two yet! Congratulations on your marriage!"
"Thank you, First Prince!" Xiao Yichen slightly nodded, "General Yu, I'm sorry to have surprised you and your family."
Yu Zhan's eyes were red, "This is the duty of the general."
Seeing this, how could Wuyuan not understand?He smiled lightly, "So it's really a trap!"
Lu Xinyan said: "Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish will be hooked! If the eldest prince is not willing, how could he fall into this trap?"
"If the princess hadn't used the Suyifang to completely suppress the business firms under the prince and push the prince into a hurry, the prince would not have taken the risk!"
"The eldest prince secretly manipulated various people to deal with me many times. I just fought back for self-protection."
Wu Yuan sighed: "I have been planning for three years, but I am no match for your counterattack! If you can be used by me, why should I worry about my great success? A town government should not restrain your wings and cover your light !Princess, are you interested in going to the top with me? I, Wuyuan, hereby promise that if I become emperor in the future, I will appoint you as queen!"
Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "I'm a very small person. It's enough to guard my things for the rest of my life, and my heart is also very small. If anyone does me wrong, I will pay it back tenfold!"
"The princess is trying to swear against the prince?"
"Even if I don't swear against the eldest prince, will you let me go? In that case, it's better to go to war directly!"
"The princess's ambition is not inferior to that of a man, this prince admires it!" Wu Yuandao: "However, this prince is very curious about two things, I hope you two can clarify my doubts for me?"
Xiao Yichen said: "Eldest Prince, please tell me!"
"First, how did you determine that the person in the dark is me? Second, why do you have to expose me and deal with me secretly, wouldn't it be more beneficial to you?"
Lu Xinyan said: "The first question, let me answer you, the eldest prince. Luo Shi, the younger sister-in-law and concubine of the former imperial envoy of the left capital, Zhong Han, is not well-known, and there are limited people who can come and go. The sister-in-law of her natal cousin's husband's family has come and gone, which is one of the clues to suspect that the eldest prince is the person behind the scenes;
Not long ago, I took the pearl hairpin to Ruyifang for repairs. When I met the eldest prince, Xiao He said that the eldest princess seldom went out due to her health, so she hadn’t worn pearl hairpins for a long time, but the eldest prince ordered one or two pieces for the eldest prince every month. Concubine, on the surface it seems that it is because of the love between the eldest prince and the eldest princess concubine, but from a woman's intuition, if you really love someone, you must give them what they want, not what you want, so the eldest prince often goes to Ruyifang There must be another purpose!
After investigation, it was found that Ruyifang turned out to be one of the secret properties of the eldest prince!What's even more coincidental is that the phoenix crown I married was ordered by my mother at Ruyifang, and the eight pearls on the phoenix crown were priceless, so I guessed that the eldest prince must have accidentally seen the phoenix crown three years ago and was surprised. After conducting an in-depth investigation of my mother's property, it was discovered that the number was frighteningly huge, and that's why I started to conspire!
But at that time, I had already married into the Guangping Marquis Mansion, and the Guangping Marquis Mansion and the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, the mother’s family of the empress’s sister-in-law, were related by marriage. The eldest prince was afraid that the second prince would know the existence of my dowry, so he didn’t dare to rob it openly, so he manipulated the Marquis secretly. People in the mansion want to quietly take away my dowry!After failing, the eldest prince took the opportunity to get close to Xiao He again, and at the critical moment, quietly obtained information, robbed Uber's leather goods, and wanted to avenge the Battle of Liangxing!This is the second clue;
Tian Bin, the son of the owner of Tianji Pavilion, is the nephew of Uncle Tian, who is close to me. A few days ago, he came to Beijing unintentionally. There are many people who are dissatisfied with me, but there are not many people who want to kill me and have the ability to kill me. I guess some people don't want me to marry Shizi Xiao, and set up this situation to kill me!The grandparents who sang and sang were killed the next day. After a few days of investigation, it was verified that someone had seen the steward of Ruyifang and had contact with him. This is the third clue; if these three clues are combined, it must be the eldest prince! "
Xiao Yichen continued: "As for why the eldest prince was forced into the open, why hasn't the eldest prince heard the news yet? It seems that the eldest prince's people are a little slow in delivering news!"
Just as he finished speaking, a black-clothed man with slightly disheveled hair came in from the outside. After paying respects to Wu Yuan, regardless of the presence of the crowd, he immediately whispered a few words in his ear.
Wuyuan's face was as dark as night, and he stood up uncontrollably at the end, with an anger that Lu Xinyan had never seen before, "Xiao Shizi, you actually exposed all the people in the various ministries of this prince to the second emperor and the fourth brother?" The emperor knows? You want to deal with me, why don't you just report to the father?"
"The eldest prince understands the emperor's temperament better than me. At this time, the emperor wishes to have more power to compete with the two, three, four and three princes. If he finds out that you are secretly deploying your own power, he will be more happy than angry. Once you know, you won’t do anything to those people! But if the second and fourth princes find out, can the first prince just stand behind the scenes and give advice?”
"You want to force me to face the second and fourth princes?" Wu Yuan's expression darkened, "Or, you want them to deal with me!"
Xiao Yichen nodded and admitted, "That's right! The First Prince has been deployed secretly for many years, and his strength is unfathomable. I dare not pretend to be arrogant. Instead of attacking alone with the Princess, it is better to pull the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince together. This way the chances of winning are greater! And in this way, the eldest prince will not have the energy to seek the princess's dowry."
Wu Yuan tightened his palms, "Xiao Shizi is very scheming!"
"Thank you, First Prince, for your compliment!" Xiao Yichen cupped his hands, "First Prince, if there are no other questions, I will take my people and leave first."
"Please!" It is easy to break through his layers of defense to come to this private room, and his people can't stop him, Wu Yuan raised his hand, "Let him go!"
After leaving, Yu Zhan brought his family to express their gratitude, "Thank you General, thank you princess!"
Lu Xinyan said: "General Yu, you don't have to be polite, but we came late and surprised Mrs. Yu, Miss Yu and Young Master Yu. Tomorrow I will ask someone to prepare a small gift as a shock to everyone."
"Don't dare, let the princess sacrifice her image to cooperate, and let the brothers in the army misunderstand the character of the princess, Yu is deeply sorry!"
Yu Zhan was careful. When rumors spread that Lu Xinyan planned to marry Xiao Yichen regardless of face, he asked Xiao Yichen privately. You may not believe it, but Yu Zhan is someone who has experienced it, and the affection in Xiao Yichen's eyes cannot deceive anyone.
At the same time, he knew that Li Yu's drug and its formula were given by Lu Xinyan's servant girl, who is now Princess Mingzhi.
Without the drug and formula, even with Li Yu's dog nose, the battle to conquer the west would have been a disaster for everyone.
After learning more about Lu Xinyan's deeds, the Huayi Festival, the Suyifang, the Battle of the Grain Shop, and the fur counterattack, Yu Zhan can almost be sure that Lu Xinyan is not a confidante, but a rare woman in the world who is good enough to be married to Xiao Yichen !
Later, when he met Lu Xinyan in person and saw that she didn't have the same admiration that other women saw when they saw Xiao Yichen, Yu Zhan was even more sure that what Xiao Yichen said was true, and that his judgment was right!
"The eldest prince has plotted against me time and time again. I acted this time for myself. General Yu put my family in danger for me. If the general doesn't accept me, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"
"Princess..."
Xiao Yichen interrupted, "There is no need to evade! Uncle Yu accepts the princess's gift and apology, and the princess accepts Uncle Yu's apology, this is an order!"
"Yes, General!"
Lu Xinyan glanced at him, "According to the son!"
-
Huanxi Yuan, Xiao He happily ran over, "Miss, are you back?"
The current Xiaohe is as long as the wind. It used to only reach the height of her ears, but now it has reached the position of her eyebrows. The baby fat on the face has faded a lot, and the figure is like a willow, slender and slender, with a soft and girlish arc. .
Lu Xinyan asked softly: "I'm back, can you help me?"
About Wu Yuan, Lu Xinyan didn't know how to tell Xiao He that Wu Yuan had saved Xiao He's life, and what happened during the Wuyang Hou Mansion's dress-up competition was definitely planned by Wu Yuan for her, but Xiao He's falling into the water was the result of Unexpectedly, Wu Yuan had a different purpose in saving Xiao He, but no one could deny that he was Xiao He's savior, just like no one could deny that Wu Yuan was Xiao He's hero.
Xiaohe has a pure personality, but at the same time has paranoia that others cannot understand. For example, she is devoted to being good to Lu Xinyan, and believes that Wu Yuan and Xia Jinxin are good people. Lu Xinyan does not want her to be hurt. Don't tell Xiao He.
"Miss, can I go out and buy fireworks?" Xiao He blinked.
Uncle Tian was injured, Junwu returned to Linlang Pavilion, Ziyan often took time to take care of Uncle Tian, Huanxi Courtyard was full of female relatives, so it was inconvenient to run errands.
"Okay, let Ziyan take you out to buy tomorrow."
Xiao He smiled like a flower, "Thank you miss!"
"Do you want to ask the little monkey to accompany you?"
Xiao He cheered, "Great! I'm worried about not knowing what to buy alone, and the little monkey is very familiar with these!"
"I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."
"Then I won't disturb Miss's rest, I'll go find the little bastard!"
Xiao He hummed an unknown song, and walked away bouncing around.
Lu Xinyan looked at her back and sighed softly.
-
Tomorrow's New Year's Eve, today 29 is the last morning morning of this year.
After today, the morning court will be formalized after the Lantern Festival.
In the Hall of Valor, all the ministers looked relaxed, with much more smiles on their faces, no matter whether they had the same or different political views.
After reporting on today's important events one by one, there is one last topic left: the arrangements for the personnel of the reception team of the Wacha envoys.
Since the founding of Tianwu, this is the first time that Wacha sent envoys to Tianwu, and they sent the prince Wu Shan, the candidate for Wacha's next great king, and the eldest princess Wu Wu, the most beautiful woman of Wacha. Emperor Longde was very happy about this. Pay attention to.
"Dear dears, do you have any suggestions for the reception staff?" Emperor Longde asked.
Wu Yuan and Wu Zhe came out at the same time, "Father, my son is willing to take charge of all the reception matters."
Most of the officials were surprised, and Emperor Longde was also surprised.
It's not surprising that Wu Zhe would take the initiative to invite Ying, but Wu Yuan, the eldest prince Wu Yuan, who has always been unknown in the court, never expresses his opinions, and lives like air, will stand up and compete with others.
Emperor Longde's eyes were full of inquiry and playfulness, "Yuan'er, why do you have such an idea?"
Wu Yuandao: "Returning to my father, my son reflected on himself two days ago. As the great prince of Tianwu Kingdom, he should do his best for the people of Tianwu and share his father's worries. Assuming the responsibility of being the eldest prince, I feel deeply guilty! I implore the emperor to give this minister a chance, and I will do my best to make the Wacha envoys return with satisfaction!"
Wu Zhe immediately rushed forward and said, "Father, my son..."
Emperor Longde stretched out his hand to stop him, "Okay, it's rare that Yuan'er has such a responsibility, I agree with you!"
Wu Che closed his mouth unwillingly, and looked at Wu Yuan with eyes full of anger.
Wu Yuan couldn't help being overjoyed, "Thank you, father, for making it happen!"
Everything was as expected by Lu Xinyan and Xiao Yichen. In order to preserve the power he had gained over the years, Wu Yuan had no choice but to step forward and become a new force in the court, so that those who had been exposed by Xiao Yichen could follow him openly. he!
And Emperor Longde will support Wu Yuan without hesitation to become the fourth force in the court!
The more dispersed the power in the court, the easier it is for Emperor Longde to control it. This is a great thing for him who does not want to delegate power!
A small number of people who already knew the truth, such as Ge Taishi and Kong Shangshu, were expressionless on the surface, but their hearts were turbulent.
After knowing that some of their subordinates turned out to be from Wuyuan, they immediately planned to find an opportunity to eradicate them, but they didn't expect Wuyuan to move so fast. Without arousing Emperor Longde's suspicion, their original eradication plan had to be cut in half, and they could only plan it slowly!
The candidates for the reception group are still being discussed. In order to show the importance they attach to the Wacha envoys, a prince reception group and a princess reception group were specially formed.
Xiao Yichen and Li Yu, members of the Prince's Reception Group, were chosen by Waci to be in the reception group, and the other six were selected plus two backups: Wuyuan, the Fourth Prince Wu Yun, Gongsun Mobai, Yan Yulang, Qi Yousheng, Wan Zi Heng, Wu Zhe and Wu Sheng served as backup.
Emperor Longde did this because he was afraid that Wu Yuan would not be able to suppress Wu Zhe and Wu Sheng, so he made the two of them back up. The inexperienced Wu Yun pulled them out together for a trial.
The candidates for the princess reception group were negotiated by the empress dowager and the empress earlier. Wu Zhen, Wu Wan, Lu Xinyan, Wen Ruxiang, Kong Yuxi, Yan Qingruo, Zhang Ruomei, He Qingqing, and Bai Zhi were the backup candidates due to their excellent medical skills.
Zhang Ruomei is the eldest granddaughter of the Minister of Rites.
He Qingqing is the eldest daughter of a doctor from the Ministry of Industry. Most people were surprised that the daughter of a fifth-rank doctor was selected, but it was just a surprise. In their eyes, it was just to eat, drink and have fun with Princess Wacha. It's the same for all the ladies, anyway, everything that needs to be done is handled by the etiquette department.
The imperial decree and Yi decree were circulated on the same day. The Wacha envoys set off on the first day of the new year and arrived at Tianwu on about 25. The relevant people will be in place after the Lantern Festival.
After receiving Yi's decree, He Qingqing immediately went to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yan's Mansion with her maid and gifts to find Yan Qingruo.
"Sister Qingruo, thank you so much!" He Qingqing said gratefully. Her father, He Ci, was Yan Shangshu's subordinate. He Qingqing had supported Yan Qingruo since childhood. The two had a good relationship. In the capital city, He Qingqing had no intention of expressing that he wanted to meet Prince Wacha and the princess in person, but Yan Qingruo unexpectedly recommended her in front of the queen mother.
Yan Qingruo took her hand and sat down, "It's all about Sister He, you have a reputation for being virtuous. I only mentioned it in front of the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect her to have heard of your name before, so I named you Sister He."
He Qingqing signaled the servant girl to bring the gift, "Anyway, if Sister Qing Ruo hadn't mentioned it, the Queen Mother would not have thought of me. Sister Qing Ruo will accept these gifts no matter what!"
"Sister He, you're too out of touch like this!" Yan Qingruo pouted, "It's as if I'm helping you because of your courtesy."
He Qingqing smiled and nodded her pouting lips, "You, it's fifteen years old, you can't do such childish actions anymore, you know? My gift represents my little heart. If you refuse, I will I won't bother you with anything next time."
Seeing what she said, Yan Qingruo had no choice but to accept it.
After the two talked for a while, it was getting late, so He Qingqing left.
After getting out of the mansion and getting into the carriage, the maid Yinhua smiled, "Congratulations, Miss He Xi, this time joining the princess reception group, let everyone see the virtuousness of the lady, the status of the lady has risen, and soon I will be able to talk about it." It’s a good marriage! It’s not in vain that Miss has supported Miss Yan for so many years, and spent her dowry to give Miss Yan a gift!”
A smile appeared on He Qingqing's beautiful face, "My father is her grandfather's subordinate, and her promotion and retention are all up to her grandfather. If she doesn't support her, who will he support? Fortunately, my hard work was not in vain. If I perform well in receiving me this time, I will make the nobles in the palace Pay attention, Dad's right servant position is just around the corner!"
"Then it will really be a three-year blessing!" Yinhua flattered her a few words, and then said: "However, Miss, I don't know about one thing. With Miss Yan's background, she must not like the gifts you put so much effort into giving. , why do you keep sending it over and over again?"
What He Qingqing said was a small gift, to Yan Qingruo, it was really a small gift, but to He Qingqing, it almost exhausted the dowry her mother left her.
"I don't want a child to be a wolf! I have to let her see my heart, otherwise, over the years, there are so many girls who have been chasing after her, why is it that only my daughter, a fifth-rank doctor, can be worthy of her sister?"
"Miss is smart, the servant has been taught."
-
Xiao He went out happily early this morning, and the little monkey came to pick her up in person.
The two half-aged people between children and teenagers ran straight to South Street without using a carriage.
The little monkey has kung fu, and Xiao He is used to growing up in Zhuangzi since he was a child, and the two of them ran for half an hour without feeling tired.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, today the streets are crowded with people, every shop is full of people, exaggerated, there are long queues.
The New Year's goods on the street are unprecedentedly large, with many varieties and styles. Xiao He is dazzled by seeing them, and has long forgotten about buying fireworks.
"Little monkey, that lamp looks good, I want it."
"Little monkey, what kind of food is that store selling? It smells so good. I want to eat it."
Xiao He unceremoniously instructed the little monkey, and the little monkey happily ran around, not forgetting to tell Xiao He not to run around, so as not to be abducted.
It was noon soon, and after eating and drinking, a candy man's stall attracted Xiao He's attention. She pointed to the sugar man in the shape of Chang'e Flying to the Moon and said, "Little monkey, that sugar man is so beautiful. One!"
"Okay, you wait for me here, I'll be right back." The little monkey ran away.
There are many children around the sugar figurine stand, and the sugar figurines are freshly made, which takes a long time. Xiao He stood not far away and waited for a while, then became a little impatient, and turned to look at the crowded shop.
At this time, a sky-blue figure caught her eyes, like the blue sky above the white clouds.
Xiao He's eyes were quickly filled with light, she didn't care about saying hello to the little monkey, and ran directly towards that figure.
"Elder Prince!"
Someone pulled Wu Yuan's sleeve, he frowned, and after hearing the surprised girl's voice, he turned around involuntarily, with a strange expression on his face, "Xiao He?"
"Prince, why are you here?"
Xiao He's eyes are shining, just like every time I saw him before, they are as bright as the stars in the night sky, clean and pure, not stained with dust, so pure that people want to destroy them.
And in his heart, just like before, he doesn't understand why a person who is as low as dust always has such a pure, happy and carefree smile!
Such a smile wants to be plundered or destroyed!
