Su Ruo caught a cold when she came back from a business trip. She had a severe fever and was almost quarantined. She finally recovered and resumed updating.
When the Beiling envoy arrived in Beijing, they had to be received with caution, and they also had to prepare for the canonization ceremony of Princess Yihe. Everyone in the palace was so busy that they had no time to care about anything else. I was happy to have some time to relax, and had a good rest in the palace for three days.
On the same day, after getting rid of all the fatigue, I slowly started the blueprint of what I planned to do.
Qian Hu's wife and children are in Tongxiang, Jiangzhou. I asked Chen Ke to send someone there yesterday. The old man is too old to have sex with his mother-in-law. If the train goes slowly, it will take more than a month to arrive in Beijing. The Mid-Autumn Festival will not be in time, and the New Year will definitely be no problem.
They were worried that they would feel uncomfortable living together. Fortunately, the Cheng family also owned a house in Mao'er Hutong. It was a large four-bedroom house, only one street away from the princess's mansion. It was surrounded by green trees and the environment was quiet. It was a good place for self-cultivation.
Wherever they went, Aunt Rong had already ordered the maids and servants to go over and clean.
He is getting older and his legs and feet are disabled. Although he still has great ambitions and ambitions, he is full of ambition but not strong enough. Moreover, now that Beiling has formed an alliance with Yue Chen, it is no longer a time when there are no generals to fight. The emperor also intends to remove him from office. I think
Instead of doing this, it would be better to take the initiative to ask Zhezi to remove his armor and return to the fields, which can gain a good reputation and get more rewards. After Qian Hu said this, he sighed, nodded and entered the palace.
The lazy sunshine in August is warm and comfortable. Sitting under the osmanthus tree, holding a pot of sake, my heart twitches and hurts when I think of the scene when I burned incense a few days ago. Most of the self-confidence I had when I first traveled through time has disappeared. At the same time,
I have some doubts. If there is no red thread connecting the two of us in this life, then why bother letting me live again? Just drink a bowl of Meng Po soup and the past will be clean from now on. It is better than holding the past alone, no matter how painful it is.
People can share the burden.
Before I knew it, I drank a pot of wine and asked the maid to bring another pot. My stomach became hotter and hotter, my heart became colder and colder, and I became more courageous. After the third pot, I stood up suddenly.
, he jumped up the wall with his feet, and with a slight push on it, he landed in the back garden of Beijinghou Mansion next door.
Coincidentally, Murong Qingfeng was sitting in the pavilion, holding a thread-bound ancient book in his hand, surrounded by chrysanthemums of various colors blooming. He was dressed in a sky-green brocade robe, like a green leaf in a sea of flowers, and his waistline dazzled me.
A martial artist with keen strength, he looked sideways as soon as I landed. Seeing that it was me, he frowned slightly and couldn't hide his displeasure in his tone: "Princess, if something happens, please send a message and come in through the gate."
That is, if you climb over the wall and get in like this, if the guard with a bad look sees you, he might think you are a thief and beat you out with a stick."
I pursed my lips and smiled, and said nonchalantly: "Don't be afraid, although my kung fu is not that good, at least I have a personal guard team, and all of them are not ordinary people. If the guards of the Hou Mansion are interested, it would be good to compare with each other.
Only by comparison can we discover shortcomings, and by finding gaps can we continue to make progress."
"No need." Murong Qingfeng's face showed signs of turning blue. His cold eyes squinted at me and asked impatiently: "I wonder why the princess is here?"
"It's nothing serious." I walked to the pavilion and sat down. I picked up the book he put on the stone table and took a look. It turned out to be an art of war. Those who don't use their special skills are fools, so I pursed my lips and smiled.
: "Compared with other military books, this book "Lu Ming" is indeed much more novel. However, it is not enough to just have a theory when marching and fighting. Only by verifying it through brutal fighting can we know whether it will work. Xu Xun is just a scholar. In the end,
He has never been to the border pass in his life, but it is just empty talk. If the prince is interested in setting up formations, it is better to read "Situ's Art of War" written by General Situ of the previous dynasty. General Situ has been stationed at the Beiling border pass all year round, and has a close relationship with the Tatars.
There have been countless battles, "Situ's Art of War" focuses on pragmatism, and you will gain a lot after reading it."
Murong Qingfeng glanced at me with a complicated expression, his tone was no longer as cold as before, he cupped his fist at me slightly and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your advice."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." I stood up and blessed him, glanced around him, and said doubtfully: "When Jinyue left the capital ten years ago, she gave the Cheng family jade pendant to the Crown Prince and warned her.
The Crown Prince must not fall in love with any other woman besides Jin Yue. I wonder if the Crown Prince still remembers that?"
Women in this era are very conservative. What I said was too straightforward. He was stunned, looked away in embarrassment, and said angrily: "Tong Yan Wuji, the princess had just turned six years old at that time, what did she say?
Can you count? I will go get the jade pendant and return it to the princess, just pretend that nothing happened."
After saying that, I turned around and left. I jumped out of the pavilion, grabbed his sleeve, boldly looked into his eyes, and defended with a fierce tone: "I remember every word of what I said at that time.
After all, can the prince still be regarded as a child? I like you, I like you very much, I have liked you since I was very young. Even though we have been separated for so many years, not only has it not diminished at all, but it has become even more unforgettable."
"You..." He took a step back in shock, pulled his sleeve out of my hand, and said tremblingly: "Yes, I'm sorry, I already have someone I like, and I'm afraid I will have to live up to the princess's kindness.
The princess has outstanding looks and will definitely find a good match, so don’t waste your time on me."
Although I had long guessed that he liked Shen Wanyao, but now hearing him say it from his own mouth was like a pinch of salt sprinkled on the scar of a serious injury. It made my heart and heart tremble in pain. I threw myself into his arms and both
She hugged his waist tightly and sobbed: "How can you, how can you fall in love with someone else? I don't allow it, I don't allow it... leave me so early and leave me to bear so much sadness alone.
, I finally found you again in this life, how can I let go? I won’t let go, I will never let go, even if I die!”
"Princess, please respect yourself!" Murong Qingfeng was stunned for a moment and immediately came to his senses. He quickly stretched out his hand to push me, but he pressed it on my chest. He was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand, his face suddenly turned red, and he was helpless.
Next, he came to break off my hand from around my waist. I was very strong and my fingers were all red from pulling, but I refused to let go.
While pulling, a roar came from behind: "What are you doing?"
"Mother..." As soon as Murong Qingfeng opened his mouth, I knew who the visitor was. Since Madam Hou's wife had always disliked me, I didn't want to damage my image any more, so I quickly let go, turned around and raised my skirt to greet her.
A gift: "Hai Yue has met my wife, my wife is blessed."
Mrs. Beijinghou ignored me, but turned around and asked a nanny behind her: "Aunt Qin, when did the princess come to the house, why didn't I hear any news? Jinyue is the princess given by the emperor.
, if you neglect her, you won’t be able to pick off ten of your heads!”
The grandma's face turned pale with fright, and she knelt on the ground with a plop and begged for mercy: "Madam, please forgive me. I really don't know this, and I didn't listen to the concierge's report."
This is a show for me to watch. After all, one person does things and the other takes responsibility. I can’t just sit back and ignore them, so I smiled and said: "My princess has never liked to show off. Those etiquettes are too complicated. I have to kneel down to watch them."
I was so tired that I just came to say a few words to the Crown Prince and didn't let anyone inform me, so as not to cause trouble to the madam."
"The princess can do whatever she wants in her own mansion, but my Beijinghou Mansion is the most disciplined place. I used to be young, but now I'm already at the age of hair. I'm alone and there's no one else around. If
If the news spreads, Qing'er will be fine, but the princess's reputation will be ruined. How will she be able to marry in the future?"
Anyway, I have already made it clear, so I simply gave up. I smiled and said, "Can't get married? Just let the prince marry me."
Madam Hou's eyelids twitched, and her face suddenly became ferocious: "The princess's body is worth a thousand pieces of gold, but we Qing'er can't reach it."
"The Marquis and my father have always been at odds with each other, but now that my father is no longer in the world, there is no deep hatred. It is better to let go of enemies than to make them end." I stopped my joking expression and said seriously: "I know.
Madam has a bad impression of me, and Jinyue is not self-aware. She just likes her after all, but is reluctant to give up, so she can only put down her attitude. It would be best if Madam supports it. If she opposes it, Jinyue will not resent it, but Jinyue
Yue will not give up just yet."
"Shameless!" Mrs. Hou pointed at me with a trembling finger, "Marriage has been dictated by parents and matchmakers since ancient times. If your parents are not alive, the emperor will make the decision for you. You are the daughter of a boudoir, and you secretly admire the man.
, how can you behave so drunkenly that you go to someone else’s house and talk nonsense? I, the eldest son of Beijing Houfu, will definitely marry a well-educated and sensible lady, not a rogue like you."
"Every lady?" I snorted and said disdainfully: "Madam, you are from a noble family, how can you not understand that any of the women in the deep house and compound are not ruthless people? Behind the knowledge, gentleness and thoughtfulness are all filthy people who cannot be seen, and make themselves the most miserable.
My beloved son, my wife is really willing to marry such a woman."
"I think you drank too much, and you were talking nonsense." Xu Shi was touched by what I said, and her hands behind her back were shaking slightly. Seeing that her mother was angry, Murong Qingfeng walked up and said proactively: "
The princess drank some wine, and her tone will inevitably be a little harsh. Mother, don't be the same as her. If you get angry, your son will feel distressed."
"It doesn't matter whether I'm angry or not. The key is not to spread it to your father, otherwise we don't know what the trouble will be." Madam Hou waved her hand, and Murong Qingfeng hurriedly asked: "I hope mother can help hide it, so as not to alert anyone.
Father is good, I will send the princess back to her mansion right away."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to help me. Madam Hou coughed and told the two nuns behind her: "The princess is drunk. Please take her back to the house and hand her over to her nanny, Miss Su."
"Yes." The two nuns walked towards me, one on the left and the other on the right, trying to lift me up. I threw them away unwillingly and said to Murong Qingfeng: "I'm not drunk.
Everything I said came from the bottom of my heart. I have been hiding it in my heart for more than ten years, and finally I said it all. No matter if you like me or not, I will never give up."
After saying that, he stared at his feet and turned back to the Princess's Mansion. Madam Hou came from behind and cursed.
