Fu Shen was sitting upright, but when Lan Fu stepped forward to grab him, he quickly stood up and took out the corner of his clothes from the woman's hand.
"Do you still remember why I want to use you?" The man stared at Lan Fu who was lying on the ground and asked in a deep voice.
Lan Fu quickly raised his hand to wipe away his tears and nodded firmly.
"Now is the time." Fu Shen said softly, but Huan Ci could hear a hint of excitement in his words.
She secretly raised her eyes to look at the man very close to her, as if she saw deep sadness in his brows.
"What happened?" she couldn't help but ask.
Fu Shen glanced at her lightly, then walked past her and headed outside.
Huan Ci frowned slightly and watched him leave. When she turned around again, Lan Fu had stood up and was dusting himself off.
Being looked at directly by her like this, the woman's eyebrows showed embarrassment. She shook her head gently and then turned around and went to the bed.
Come to think of it, Lan Fu was not interested in talking to him anymore. Huan Ci smiled mockingly and helped her close the door from the outside.
Just two steps out, I suddenly saw a straight figure in the yard, it was Fu Shen who had just walked out.
Under the clear moonlight, the man stood with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the lonely moon silently. After hearing the movement, he turned back and glanced this way, with an indescribable sadness in his eyes.
When their eyes met, Huan Ci felt that her heart was being grabbed by someone, and she felt like she couldn't breathe. She suddenly had the idea of going forward to hug him, but before she could move her feet, the man had already
He quickly went to the room.
Huan Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief, but felt very unhappy in his heart. He returned to the room with his head hanging down, and silently climbed onto the bed under A Yao's doubtful eyes.
Early the next morning, Huan Ci was awakened by the sound of cockcrows.
She had gone to bed late last night, and she had something on her mind, so it was already past three o'clock when she fell asleep. As a result, she was woken up not long after she fell asleep, and her face looked a little ugly.
A Yao was startled when she saw her and hurriedly pulled her to greet her.
Huan Ci shook his head listlessly: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"What's more, Mr. Kong came here early and is still waiting for the girl in the room next to him." Ayao murmured.
Huan Ci suddenly became energetic: "What is he waiting for me for?"
"It seems that General Jin wants to entertain the girl and Mr. Fu, so he sent him to pick you up. Now that Mr. Fu has packed everything, he will send the girl."
"Any guests invited so early in the morning sound like the Hongmen Banquet." Huan Ci kicked off the quilt in frustration and then reluctantly got out of bed.
When she went to the side room, she saw Fu Shen sitting at the table, but there was a faint dark green under his eyes. When she looked at him, Huan Ci saw some red blood in his eyes, and she was even more surprised.
At this time, Kong Lin was pacing in the room. When he saw her, he walked towards her with a slight smile on his face.
"Miss Huan, didn't you sleep well?" The man approached and stared at her face for a moment.
Huan Ci couldn't help but glance at Fu Shen behind him. When he saw the man looking at the two of them, he quickly looked away, shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay."
"The conditions here are difficult, I feel sorry for you." Kong Lin said softly.
"Nothing, it's just that I have something on my mind, so I didn't sleep well. You don't have to think so much." Huan Ci explained hurriedly.
Afraid of him asking further questions, she hurriedly continued: "Didn't you say you were going somewhere? Now that everyone is here, let's leave early."
"Yes." Kong Lin nodded, "I'll go outside and instruct them to leave immediately."
After the man left, she and Fu Shen were the only ones left in the room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Fortunately, Ayao also came in not long after, carrying a food box and saying hello to Fu Shen with a smile. Fu Shen nodded to her and took the cake she handed over with a smile.
"This is what they brought. You should eat something first to fill your stomach." Ayao put out the contents of the food box and looked at the two of them back and forth.
"Master Fu, you look too ugly." After putting down the food box, she suddenly looked left and right at Fu Shen.
Huan Ci coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Ayao, don't be so presumptuous."
Ayao blinked at her, pouted and was about to walk away.
Fu Shen seemed to have not heard her words and said to A Yao: "Nothing happened, I just didn't have a good rest last night."
A Yao glanced at Huan Ci awkwardly, and seeing that she was not looking here, she casually responded: "The conditions here are indeed worse, so naturally you won't be able to adapt."
As soon as he finished speaking, two more people came into the room. One was Sao Ye, who was inseparable from Fu Shen, and the other was Lan Fu.
Ayao saw Lan Fu and happily ran over to hold her arm. Soon she noticed the woman's red and swollen eyes: "Lan Fu, what's wrong with you? Have you cried?"
Lan Fu looked up in panic and glanced at Fu Shen. Although the man didn't look at her, she still felt uneasy. She shook her head gently and took her arm out of A Yao's hand.
Ayao froze on the spot for a moment, followed her gaze to look at Fu Shen, and then moved to Huan Ci.
Huan Ci waved to her: "Ayao, come here and have something to eat."
Ayao walked over slowly and whispered softly: "Why are you all so weird?"
These words fell into Huan Ci's ears word by word. She said nothing more and poured herself a glass of water.
For a moment, except for Ayao who made a slight noise while eating, the other four people in the room were silent.
When the door was pushed open from the outside, Huan Ci felt like she had been rescued. She quickly stood up and walked towards Kong Lin at the door: "Can you leave?"
"Well, let's go now." Kong Lin frowned and glanced at the people in the room, feeling that everyone was in low spirits.
At noon, everyone gathered in a pavilion at General Jin's residence.
This General Jin is said to be the uncle of the current queen, and can also be regarded as Zong Zhenglu's elder. After entering the mansion, Huan Ci felt the luxury of this place. Although it looked ordinary from the outside, there was something special inside.
.
When they arrived, General Jin had just come out of the backyard. He organized a banquet here and invited Huan Ci and Fu Shen, as well as several of his men and nearby officials of high status.
General Jin arranged the positions of the two of them on his left and right sides, while Kong Lin sat closest to the door.
There was only one woman here, Huan Ci. Although she usually didn't care about this, she felt very embarrassed now. There was a lot of people drinking and drinking at the table, and soon some people got drunk, and their conversations became much more unrestrained.
"The general has acquired some new beauties a few days ago. When will he reward them to the brothers, it will encourage us to indulge in meat?" A round-faced man in his forties grinned and sat with his legs crossed without any scruples.
Huan Ci recognized him. His surname was Jiang. He had worked under his father in the past and was also known as a lecher in Bingzhou.
The men's careless conversation made her frown in displeasure.
General Jin laughed heartily a few times and said loudly: "What are you in a hurry for? Prime Minister Fu is still here. It's your turn to pick."
After that, he raised his chin, called his servant, and said loudly: "Go and call those girls."
Huan Ci's face darkened a bit, but in someone else's territory, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
Suddenly, Kong Lin, who was sitting farthest away, stood up, glanced at her and said, "General, Princess Huan is also here. I think this is inappropriate."
"Do you have any right to speak here?" the round-faced man scolded.
According to his status as the son of Kong Lin's guilty minister, it is not easy for him to sit here. Huan Ci did not want to implicate him in this matter, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you Master Kong for your kindness, but I believe that General Jin is a measured person, right?
, General?" After saying that, she raised her wine glass towards General Jin.
General Jin chuckled and raised his glass to her, but did not respond to her words.
Huan Ci smiled and drank the wine in the glass.
At this time, she heard the round-faced man laugh loudly and said: "The princess has numerous male favors, and it is well known in Bingzhou. How could she be angry about this? Kong Ziye, I think you are too careful. It's you again."
You have fallen in love with the princess and want to be one of those men?"
These words were too strong. Huan Ci glanced at Kong Lin and saw the man looking at him gloomily. Huan Ci knew his kindness, so he smiled tenderly at him, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
When a man uses such words to humiliate a woman, no matter how the woman refutes, it will be useless.
Huan Ci ignored him, and the room became quiet for a while.
A dark-skinned man suddenly laughed twice and was about to speak to ease the atmosphere, but was interrupted by Fu Shen.
"Is Vice General Jiang drunk?"
Although his tone was calm, the look in his eyes was inexplicably scary.
The round-faced man sneered, his eyes evasive, but he still said loudly: "Oops, I forgot, Master Fu is also one of them."
At this time, even the smile on General Jin's face disappeared, and he stared at the man displeased.
There was an undercurrent surging during the dinner, and the rise and fall of Huan Ci's chest became more and more obvious. If this continues, he will not be able to eat the meal.
In the silence, she laughed softly twice and said: "Your Lord Fu is very boring, how can he be worthy of my liking?"
Now everyone turned their attention to her.
After hearing this, the round-faced man became presumptuous and said with a smile: "In that case, how can the general only care about men and not the princess? There are all men in the army, so I don't believe that I can't pick out a princess to like."
Huan Ci clenched his fists bitterly, but still had a faint smile on his face.
From the moment she came in, she discovered that this group of people didn't like her very much, nor did they like Fu Shen, so they tried every means to embarrass them.
Sure enough, with such absurd words, General Jin not only did not scold the round-faced man, but actually turned his head towards her: "Princess, what do you think?"
Huan Ci was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and the smile on his face could hardly be held back.
At this moment, Kong Lin actually stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Princess, I——"
"It's just you." Huan Ci glanced at him and said very quickly.
Everyone at the table burst out laughing, and the round-faced man said, "Ziye, what are you thanking me for?"
Kong Lin glanced at him expressionlessly, and then sat down with a gloomy expression, but there were two blushes on his face.
