The blind concubine married the prince, don't stand in the way

Chapter 471 021: Hypocrisy, murderous intent (one more)
As a real brother, and with a deep understanding of brotherhood, Yu Wenzhuo knows very well what kind of person his elder brother is. He looks gentle and tender, but in fact he is cold-hearted. He is infatuated with him, but no one really falls into his eyes and his heart. Everything is just a play on the occasion of the emperor's power, and this Qin princess is the same, or in other words, it is more difficult to get his heart than those harem concubines, so , what Cao Guoxiang worried about will not appear.

Cao Guoxiang nodded: "Since that's the case, the old minister has nothing to worry about."

The two discussed some political affairs and the wedding of the empress two days later, Cao Guoxiang left and went back.

……

There are still two days until the emperor's wedding. In the palace of Dongyue, the palace is magnificent and extravagant. The Fengzao Palace, which is the queen's bedroom, is also decorated in a festive way. Flying with the wind, dazzling and eye-catching, dotted with this cold and luxurious palace, beautiful and dazzling.

In the apse, it was silent as if there was no one there, but in front of the bronze mirror on the dressing table, Princess Zhending was sitting with four maids applying makeup.

The movements are light and quiet, and they are still holding their breath, which shows that these palace people have been strictly trained.

Princess Zhending started her lunch break and was dressing up. After a while, she had to listen to the inner court lady sent by the queen mother to teach the etiquette of the wedding process and some things to pay attention to after becoming a queen. Although Princess Zhending was born in the royal family of Qin, her words and deeds They are all educated and nurtured by themselves, but the etiquette of different countries is different. In the past few days she came, except for the first two days of rest, the rest of the days were alone with the emperor of Dongyue and greeting the queen mother. They are all learning the etiquette and rules of Dongyue. She learns quickly and has the foundation, so it is not difficult, but she does not understand the etiquette that should be on the day of the big wedding. Study hard before getting married.

Seeing the palace lady giving her hair in a bun again, and looking at the series of heavy headgear just placed on the dressing table by another palace lady, Princess Zhending immediately said indifferently: "Today, I will listen to the rumors from the female officials in the palace. Marriage rules, don't go out, don't see outsiders, so you don't have to dress up too cumbersomely, and you have a headache."

The palace maid was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her eyes and responded: "Yes!"

Afterwards, I gave her a simple hairstyle, pinned a few pearl flowers for a little embellishment, and it was already excellent.

Princess Zhending herself is extremely beautiful. Her mother and concubine are favored because of her beauty. She is pretty like her mother, so she has a good appearance. Yu Wenxuan is very satisfied with this appearance. After all, that man I don't like beautiful people.

Just after finishing all this, a court lady who was dressed very differently from these court ladies walked in outside, but she was actually Zi Yun, the confidant Princess Zhending brought from Qin.

"See Princess."

Princess Zhending hummed lightly, and then asked: "Ms. Chen and the others are all here?"

"Already waiting in the side hall outside."

Princess Zhending nodded, and put on the earrings herself, but seeing Ziyun standing still, she looked at her again, and then noticed that she was holding a beautiful sandalwood box in her hand.

"What is this?"

Zi Yun bent down and presented the box in her hand and reported in a low voice: "Princess Qi, this is just delivered by His Majesty, Eunuch Cheng personally. Special order, please open it yourself."

Princess Zhending raised her eyebrows, reached out to take it, and opened the button with her slender fingers. When she opened it, it turned out to be a gold comb carved with dragons and phoenixes. It was very small, but luxurious.

Princess Zhending was somewhat surprised and puzzled: "A comb?"

Zi Yun smiled and said: "It's still made of gold, but it's rare. In the past, combs were made of wood or silver. I've never seen a comb made of pure gold."

Princess Zhending wasn't surprised what material the comb was made of, she just put down the box and rubbed the comb in her hands, and said puzzled, "Why did Your Majesty send me this?"

Zi Yun doesn't know.

Instead, the palace servant who combed her hair explained.

"Princess Qi, this is the marriage custom in East Vietnam. When a man and a woman are engaged, they will exchange tokens before marriage as a token of love. Most of them are given by the man. Your majesty is the king of a country according to your status, and you will be the queen soon, with the most honorable status, so your majesty ordered someone to make such a comb from pure gold, and engrave dragon and phoenix patterns to show your status. It shows that your majesty is very fond of the princess. .”

When Princess Zhending heard the words, her eyes flickered, she looked at the heavy golden comb in her hand thoughtfully, and whispered softly: "Really?"

The maid smiled and said, "It must be like this."

Princess Zhending pondered for a moment, then asked: "Then I don't know what should I return if we exchange tokens?"

The maid thought for a while, and said: "This...it doesn't matter what you give, it depends on the princess's thoughts, such as handkerchiefs, sachets, belts, jade pendants...mostly these things, others are rare."

Princess Zhending nodded, thought for a moment, looked at Ziyun and asked: "I remember that in the Qin Kingdom, there seems to be a custom of giving jade pendants as a token of love, right?"

Zi Yun replied with a smile: "Princess Hui, yes, and there is another sentence, saying that it is because of the kindness, the beautiful jade is decorated with Luoying. tassel to show my heart."

Princess Zhending smiled faintly, thought for a while and said, "Go... find the jade pendant I wore since I was a child, and also find the Luo Ying that my mother wore for me when I left the Qin Kingdom."

Zi Yun hurriedly took orders: "Yes!"

Zi Yun stepped back to get something, and soon came, holding a piece of exquisite white jade pendant and a colorful Luoying in her hand.

Princess Zhending picked them up separately, tied them herself, and then held them together with the comb in their hands for a long time, then asked Ziyun to find another exquisite box, put the jade pendant in, and closed it again.Hand in Ziyun.

"Send it to His Majesty."

Zi Yun hurriedly took it with a smile: "Your Majesty must be happy to receive it."

Princess Zhending was noncommittal.

It doesn't matter whether she is happy or not, since someone brought the comb, she naturally wants to return the gift. In fact, as Yu Wenxuan, she should make a piece of jade and bring it to him. It's just that there is a rush of time, and that's the only way to go.

Princess Zhending thought about this, and she couldn't help but think of what Princess Yichuan said to her before she came here, asking for nothing, and being a wife should do her duty, not fighting or grabbing, now, she is following Princess Yichuan's words Do it, the effect is not bad.

What she wants, only by winning the heart of His Majesty first, can she slowly strive for it!
Now that they are all here, then get what she deserves bit by bit. This is the only rule of survival in her life, and it is also the only way out for her now!
Otherwise, you will die without knowing how to die!
Zi Yun went to deliver things, and she also got up to listen to the female officer teach the rules.

Longde Hall is the residence of the emperor of Dongyue, and it is also the place where government affairs are handled daily.

At this time, after discussing some government affairs, several ministers resigned one after another, and Yu Wenxuan continued to review the memorial.

Yu Wenxuan is thirty this year, and it is the year of his thirties. His appearance is not extremely exquisite and handsome, but it is also pleasing to the eye, and because he is in a high position all the year round, he exudes a domineering and coercive king, as if he is with him. It's normal, but now sitting quietly behind the imperial case in a black dragon robe and watching the memorial attentively, it is already unbelievable.

In fact, on weekdays, Yu Wenxuan treats people very warmly and kindly, but often when he handles government affairs, he is always so cold and indifferent, especially recently that the court and China are not peaceful. Although he is about to get married, he may not be in a good mood .

After reviewing two booklets, he seemed to have just remembered one thing, and asked his confidant Cheng An: "How are the preparations for the wedding going?"

Eunuch Cheng hurriedly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it's almost done, some arrangements can only be done tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so let's put it aside for now, and everything else has been prepared."

Hearing this, he didn't seem to care, just nodded lightly: "That's good."

As he spoke, he picked up the memorial again and continued to read.

At this time, an eunuch hurriedly stepped outside: "Your Majesty, at Fengzao Palace, Princess Zhending sent someone to deliver something."

Yu Wenxuan frowned, and said lightly: "Xuan."

The eunuch hurriedly retreated, and soon, Zi Yun walked in.

"See Your Majesty."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yu Wenxuan glanced at the box Zi Yun was holding in his hand, and asked, "What is it that the princess sent you here for?"

Zi Yun said respectfully with a smile: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness was very happy to receive the gift from His Majesty just now. I heard that it was the wedding custom of the Yue Kingdom, and felt that it would be indecent to come and go, so I also followed the marriage customs of the Yue Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom. Combining with the customs of the country, give back something to His Majesty."

Eunuch Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to take the box, and then passed it to Yu Wenxuan.

Yu Wenxuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, then opened the box, and saw the jade pendant inside and the Luo Ying tied under the jade pendant, thinking deeply.

Zi Yun explained: "This jade pendant is the princess's favorite since she was a child. This Luo Ying was tied by me to the queen when the princess came out of Qin. able to like it."

Yu Wenxuan pondered for a moment, then smiled lightly: "Go back and tell her, I like it very much, and I will definitely wear it with me."

"Yes."

"Go down."

Only then did Zi Yun leave.

After she left, Yu Wenxuan looked at the jade pendant and Luo Ying in his hand, then put it back into the box, closed it, put the box aside, and continued to read the memorial, but when he looked at it, he remembered something again, Turning to ask Eunuch Cheng.

"Cheng An, what do you think of this Princess Zhending?"

Cheng An looked terrified: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the princess is really determined to be the queen that His Majesty will marry, how dare this slave make judgments?"

"Just say it, I forgive you for your innocence."

Cheng An had no choice but to say cautiously: "The princess is extraordinary in appearance, elegant in manner, and also in character..."

Yu Wenxuan was extremely impatient: "Okay, stop talking to me about such crooked flattery!"

Cheng An: "..."

Yu Wenxuan glanced at him with some disgust, and then asked: "What do the people around her say?"

Then Cheng An said seriously: "There is no abnormality, it is no different from being in front of His Majesty."

Hearing this, Yu Wenxuan narrowed his eyes meaningfully, and then smiled: "It seems that he is also a deep hider."

Cheng An thought for a while and said hurriedly: "But Your Majesty, the people who sent to the Qin State to investigate secretly and His Highness Prince Ding also said that this princess is not liked by Emperor Qin, and her character is good. I am afraid that Your Majesty is worrying too much."

Since she is a queen, Dongyue naturally wants to find out about this Zhending princess. Her past life, who is her biological mother, what she has done since she was a child, what kind of temperament she is, her likes and taboos, are all found out. Yu Wenxuan also knew everything, but he didn't fully believe what he found. After all, with the shadow left by the former empress, he was not willing to trust women. He was also willing to treat concubines in the palace with kindness, but , but never one of them reassured him.

Yu Wenxuan chuckled lightly: "I hope so."

He was afraid of women.

Cheng An was silent for a while, not daring to speak out to agree.

The emperor didn't expect Cheng An to agree, so after a snort, he stopped talking and picked up the booklet to continue reading.

……

In the residence of the East Vietnamese envoys, everything was peaceful.

Zhao Yu's residence was even more eerily peaceful.

There were several people standing in the room.

Holding the Flying Pigeon letter that he just received and looking at it in his hand, Zhao Yu's face was extremely ugly, it was a rare kind of evil, after a long while, he suddenly grabbed the note in his hand into a ball, slapped it heavily on the table, and bit it. Grinding his teeth, he said angrily, "A bunch of trash!"

Su Jiu said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the King of Chu has launched a ruthless attack this time, and has sealed off the entire territory to drive out our people. If this continues, your arrangements for many years in the southern border will be in vain. Such a loss is really too great."

Zhao Yu looked up at him and asked, "Then what do you think this king can do?"

Su Jiu was silent.

There is nothing they can do. Now that the Chu Yin people are in the southern border, no matter how many people are sent there, they will be sent to death. It is too late to order evacuation, so Chu Yin can only kill them all.

Zhao Yu rubbed the center of his brows wearily, and said lightly: "Father has ordered them to put all their eggs in one basket to assassinate Chu Yin. It is better to die than to sit and die. Although it is difficult to do this, it is the only way to do it now. Let's wait for the news."

One careless move will lose the whole game, fortunately, he can't afford to lose this time.

Originally, he knew that it was a risky gamble to secretly control the Southern Territory, and the odds of winning were very slim, so it was just a miscalculation, and he didn't expect much at first, but Chu Palace had to be removed, so he thought about it This way, I originally thought that while infiltrating the southern border army, I would win over and confuse the Chu Palace, and then eradicate it in one fell swoop when the time is right. Maybe I could avoid a fight, but Sun Ce accidentally noticed that he had to let people speed up. Because of the quick success and instant benefit, it finally fell short.

At worst, if he thinks of a way later, he doesn't believe that he can't get rid of Chu Yin!

There is ample time!

"By the way, what happened to the matter that asked you to check?"

Su Jiudao: "This subordinate did find out that there were many people following His Highness all the way from Qin during this period, but they couldn't find out who they were. There are so many people, it’s not easy to scare the snakes, so I only tracked them down secretly, but I never found any connection between them and the people of Dongyue.”

Zhao Yu squinted his eyes, and said lightly: "They can appear in Dongyue quietly with so many people, even if they haven't had any contact with Dongyue people, they must have colluded with Dongyue long ago. As for the purpose , what else can I do besides taking my king's life?"

Su Jiu was puzzled: "But Your Highness, you are just an idle prince on the surface, who would go to such lengths to kill you?"

And they sent so many people here...

Zhao Yu snorted lightly: "Idle prince? That was before. Father's plan is no longer a secret. There are not a few people who know it. It is rare for this king to stay away from Jicheng for such a time. Naturally, some people want to prevent this king from returning alive. I don't know who these people are..."

This matter was not a secret in the first place, but how many people know about it is not yet known. However, up to now, it is not so important who knows. He does not intend to keep a low profile when he returns this time. .

Su Jiu asked: "Your Majesty has sent a letter to urge His Highness to go back as soon as possible, saying that the domestic situation requires His Highness to go back and take charge of the overall situation. What should His Highness do, but you plan to leave after the princess and His Majesty Dongyue get married?"

Zhao Yu nodded: "That's the intention, but I'm afraid it's easy to come this time and difficult to go back..."

So many people followed, but they didn't do anything along the way. I'm afraid they're just waiting for him to leave Suodu. The journey back will definitely be full of difficulties, and Dongyue will definitely help him secretly. No matter how powerful he is with such a trap, , It is also difficult to ensure that you are safe and sound.

No matter who it is, they are determined not to let him go back alive, and those who can be sent by them must be elite experts. Among them, there must be people from the Chu Palace. He knows that the people from the Chu Palace It should not be underestimated. The people in Chu Palace alone are already troublesome, and there are other people and people from Dongyue. Dongyue seems to compromise this time, but in fact he hates Qin to the bone. How can he not take revenge?

It was also the first time in his life that so many people wanted his life.

Funny tight!

Su Jiu thought for a moment, and suggested: "Then this subordinate will find a way to secretly let His Highness leave first? Let the subordinates distract those people, so that His Highness can return to take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible."

Zhao Yu shook his head with a heavy face: "No, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop it this time."

"Your Highness..."

Zhao Yu looked up at him lightly and said: "Let's ignore this matter for now, let's talk about it after the Eighth Emperor's sister gets married, you can go down."

"……Yes!"

Su Jiu bowed and retreated.

Zhao Yu sat for a while before walking to the window over there, tilting his head slightly as the setting sun outside, the patches of golden light reflected on his face, flickering and dimming, his eyes were dim...

Jicheng in August is the hottest month of the year. The sun is so hot and poisonous that I dare not expose myself to the sun. If there is nothing to do, Fu Yue will never go out in this weather. However, the situation cannot be controlled .

After hearing Mengzheng's report to find out the news, Fu Yue sneered while drinking the cold soup that Qingyuan just brought: "He is patient, he has everything planned, and he suddenly stopped his movements. I came to plan to wait for the news from Dongyue, but he didn’t move with such a good opportunity, showing such a big clue, and now he is so self-conscious, it’s simply stupid, no wonder Ah Yin doesn’t like him.”
