emperor cold concubine

Chapter 204 Princess Yunxi
They are all masters of martial arts, so even though the distance from here to the pavilion in the middle of the lake is not too short, Cang Yunmu has no doubt that the conversation between himself and the nine princesses has been heard verbatim.

For a moment, Cang Yunmu didn't know how to react, he never expected to meet the emperor who has been in the palace for more than a month but is still mysterious to them.At this time, it would be disrespectful to avoid it. After all, the eyes of the people in the center of the lake are still locked on them, but if they go forward to pay homage, they will inevitably feel that they are qualified?
Because of this thought, Cang Yunmu laughed at himself in his heart. As the former emperor's prince, his status can be described as embarrassing now. In front of the new emperor, brothers are not brothers, sons are not sons, and ministers are not ministers. They don't even have a definite identity.

After turning his mind a few times, it was only a matter of a moment, Cang Yunmu shook the hand of the imperial sister calmly, as if to reassure her, then, with steady steps, stepped on the gravel path, slowly Approaching the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the nine princesses followed behind.

The extremely subtle movements were seen by the few people in the pavilion, and a faint smile flashed across Cang Hao's eyes.

Pausing in the footsteps outside the pavilion, Cang Yunmu knelt down on his knees, lowered his gaze, and said in a respectful and humble voice, "Yunmu, the sixth son of the Cang family, and my ninth younger sister, Yunxi, pay homage to my emperor, long live."

Ziyu, Moli, and Yixiu all backed away, silently, standing behind Canghao.

Cang Hao tilted his head, and quietly looked at the man in front of him with indifferent eyes. He was dressed in ordinary princely clothes, and his kneeling posture was humble and submissive, but not humble. His eyebrows and eyes were lowered, covering all the emotions in his eyes... Cang Hao Smiling silently, he is indeed a person who is good at forbearance.

Cang Yunmu waited with bated breath, the short silence actually made his whole body sweat profusely.

"Yunmu, the sixth son of the Cang family?" Hanxiao's voice is elegant and pleasant, with a little playfulness and playfulness, "This claim is unique, just like the phrase 'It's just a lotus flower brewing wine, but I've been drunk for nine years', it has a different artistic conception .”

Although the tone was smiling, Cang Yunmu's fingertips trembled, his face was slightly pale, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Sure enough, the conversation between him and Yun Xi, from the beginning to the end, was listened to every word.

Yun Xi behind her was even more frightened, her pretty face was like snow, and her body trembled slightly.

Cang Hao looked at the nine princesses wearing simple light pink palace attire, the color looked sober, except for a hairpin, there was no other decorations in her hair. It seemed that she was just a lady from an ordinary family, and there was no trace of princess in her body. extravagance.

However, her looks are refined, her temperament is also good, classical and gentle, she looks dignified and graceful.

"Yun Xi." Cang Hao smiled lightly, "How old is this year?"

Cang Yunxi lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Go back to the emperor, it's nineteen."

Cang Hao nodded slowly, "Well, it's time to find a good husband and son-in-law."

Hearing this, Cang Yunxi's face turned pale, and the panic in her eyes could not be concealed.Since ancient times, the princesses of the royal family have been most afraid of marrying the eldest daughter. Unless they are favored by the emperor or the emperor's brother, most of them will not escape the fate of marriage.Either marrying the royal family of another country, or marrying a princess to win over important officials or powerful officials. The chances of happiness in such a marriage are too slim.

And she, a dispensable princess of the Cang clan's royal family, has always only had the false name of a princess, and never enjoyed the slightest honor of a princess.Whether it was the empress in the past who dominated the harem alone, the Murong family's power in the court, or the new emperor now in power, she seemed to have no right to speak.

She never dared to think that she has the right to choose her husband and son-in-law, but... there is always a fluke in her heart, and she hopes that everyone will not pay attention to her, even if she dies in the palace and no one cares about her. After getting married, he shared a husband with countless strange women, and endured the loneliness of the empty boudoir alone every day.

She has personally experienced the harem under the exclusive power of the queen for nineteen years. Her own mother and concubines, and other concubines of the father, came in one after another from outside the palace with the fantasy of a lifetime of glory, and one after another in the most beautiful place. In her youth, she disappeared in the harem that cannibalize people without spit out their bones... She was afraid, afraid of competing with others for favor, and even more afraid of an unknown fate.

"Your Majesty!" Cang Yunmu spoke eagerly, as if he had already expected Yun Xi's uneasiness, subconsciously raised his head, and finally saw the face of the emperor in front of him, and his breath stopped for a moment.

His eyebrows are picturesque, his mouth is smiling, his flawless and elegant face is refined and handsome, his Tsinghua nobleness is like a banished fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, his black eyes are cold and charming, and his whole body exudes an indescribable boundless elegance...

Cang Yunmu realized his gaffe almost instantly, hurriedly lowered his head, his heart was cold.The emperor's face is undoubtedly peerless, but even with a slight smile on his mouth, the pressing pressure on his body still caused a chill to rise from the soles of his feet to his spine.

"Cang Yunmu..." Cang Hao said lightly, "What do you want to say?"

Taking a deep breath, Cang Yunmu tried hard to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Back to the emperor, Jiuhuangmei is naturally weak and not good at competing with others, if it is possible... Yunmu begs the emperor to marry Jiumei A man with an ordinary status is fine, there is no need to be rich, just please don't let her be bullied, and she will be safe and secure for the rest of her life."

Cang Yunxi was shocked in her heart, moved by the protection and love of the emperor's brother, but worried that his words would offend the emperor, her face turned pale with shock, she hung her head, and dared not say a word.

"Will you be married to an ordinary man?" Cang Hao smiled lightly, "Would you feel wronged for such a small request?"

In the past 19 years, I have seen too much life and death, too many intrigues and scheming, and what I want is nothing more than an ordinary life, a smooth life... Cang Yunxi thinks in her heart, that is exactly the case, she dare not not answer the emperor's question, whispered : "Slaves don't feel wronged."

Cang Hao raised his eyebrows, "Yun Xi, you are the princess, why do you call yourself a slave?"

Cang Yunxi really didn't know how to answer this question. She didn't know whether she was related to the new emperor by blood, and Sheng Jia didn't know how to call herself before. Thinking back to these years, apart from not needing to serve the master, the other situations and treatment, really She is the same as a court lady, so she simply calls herself a "servant".

But how can I say these words to the emperor? The private conversation with the sixth brother just now was just a few traces of disappointment in my heart after living in the deep palace for a long time, and I never thought that I would be heard, and I was feeling terrified.Whether it's complaining or complaining, in front of the emperor at this moment, where does she still have the courage and thought?
Silent for a long while, not knowing how to answer, Cang Hao seemed to have seen what she was thinking, and said lightly: "Don't be nervous, I will never embarrass a little girl. If you have something in your heart, it's okay to say it directly. I will give it to you once." Chance."

Cang Yun felt relieved when she heard the words, she couldn't believe it, but the emperor spoke well, and it seemed that the opportunity was only this time, she didn't want to waste it, holding a glimmer of hope, she didn't call herself a "servant", but said in a low voice: "I... don't want to make a kiss."

"Marriage?" Cang Hao raised an eyebrow in surprise, and after a while, he curled his lips into a faint smile, "Who said you are going to make a kiss?"

Who said you were going to have a kiss?The meaning of these words seems... Cang Yunxi's expression froze for a moment, and her mind finally relaxed completely, while Cang Yunmu also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Judging from the meaning of the emperor's words, it is obvious that they are worrying too much.

"I'm not so incompetent that I need to rely on a little girl to marry to consolidate the country, or to achieve the goal of diplomatic relations between the two countries... Moreover, there are nine countries in the world, and there is no country that deserves me to have diplomatic relations with him in the form of kinship." With a clear and elegant voice, the words he spoke were incomparably calm and calm, without a trace of emotion, yet people dared not question the weight of his words.

Cang Yunmu silently tasted the noble and domineering arrogance from the emperor's bones, and lowered his head even more.

"Yu." Cang Hao called out in a low voice.

Zi Yugong replied: "Yes."

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and Cang Hao said calmly: "Well, you are not young this year, since you don't plan to fight in the battlefield, you can consider marriage matters."

Zi Yu was silent.

Mo Li was expressionless.

The corner of Yixiu's mouth twitched.

Master is planning to marry Mu Mu?
Cang Hao turned a blind eye to the strange colors on the faces of several people, and said with a faint smile: "Yun Xi, what do you think of the commander of the imperial army? Is it worthy of you?"

Cang Yunmu was stunned for a moment, obviously he did not expect that the emperor planned to marry him to lead and Yun Xi, his thoughts changed slightly, and he felt that if Yun Xi really married Zi Yu, it should be considered a blessing.

Although Ziyu is indifferent and unsmiling, but fortunately he doesn't value women, and he probably won't have three wives and four concubines. Therefore, after Yun Xi's marriage, life will definitely not be too sad.Moreover, Zi Yu's own qualifications are also outstanding, with high martial arts skills, as the supreme commander of the imperial army, and being reused by the emperor, it is more than enough to match Yun Xi.

Cang Yunxi trembled slightly, and said in a low voice, "It's Yun Xi who is not worthy of the commander."

One is a princess with an embarrassing status and a false name, and the other is the supreme commander of the forbidden army who has won the holy favor.

"This matter, I'm just making a suggestion, marriage can't be forced." He raised his hand, "Both of you, get up first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Yu, what do you think of my king's proposal?"

Zi Yu pursed his lips, "No one dares to disobey the master's order."

The implication is that if the master asks him to marry, he will marry... Yixiu looked at him speechlessly, he is really stupid, marriage is a big matter, expressing his thoughts will kill him?The master will not take this matter as a crime.

"In that case, Yunxi will go to Ziyu's place to take care of daily life in the near future. After seven days, the two of you will give me an answer." While speaking, Cang Hao casually put the white and black pieces on the chessboard, Indifferently said: "Concubine Shu is gentle and easy to get along with, she has only fourteen and eleven sons under her knees, Yun Xi, if you have nothing to do, you can go to her palace and walk around more, she will welcome you."

Cang Yunxi knew the former Concubine Li Shu and the current Concubine Shu, the only woman in the harem who survived under the Queen's hand.If you compare means with resourcefulness, perhaps Concubine Li Shu did not lose to the queen, but that woman, with a magnanimous heart, never disdained those intrigues and scrambles for power, quietly guarding her own pure land in the harem, not to provoke others, nor to tolerate others Feel free to bully...

Cang Yunxi replied in a low voice: "Yes."

"It's nothing, let's go back and rest first."
