Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 170 Princess Yuying Nangong's Marriage Contract

When I arrived at the Imperial Study Room, it was already full of people. When they saw me, everyone seemed to be slightly relieved, but at this moment, Nangong came out from behind me, and all faces immediately There was a trace of complicated expression on them.

Especially Nangong Yu, he stood in the middle of the crowd, his deep and bottomless eyes instantly became dark and dull, no one could see what he was thinking at this moment, but when his eyes fell on Nangong's face When I went to the meeting, I also felt that Nangong's expression was a little bit in a trance.

Ling Shaoyu had already walked over: "Queen Mother, you already know the matter, right?"

"Yeah." I nodded, "Where is the messenger now?"

"I have already passed Luoshui, and I am approaching Zhaoye."

He paused, looked at me and said, "Should we make preparations in the palace?"

I subconsciously glanced at Nangong Yu, but I already understood something in my heart, I shook my head and said: "No, it's better not to let them enter the summoning industry, and meet them in the palace in Fucheng."

Ling Shaoyu seemed to be stunned for a moment, and when he looked at me again, a light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately nodded knowingly: "Okay."

It seems that he has also figured it out.

I have been wondering before that our first victory against Nangong Yu came too quickly and too easily. He could not be such an easy person to deal with. Now I understand that his real goal is not at all in the court. We are slowly exhausting, the previous roster is just testing Ling Shaoyu and I's attitude towards him, as well as our strength.

But now, he finally decided to put all the confrontation on the battlefield.

At the beginning when Ling Shaoyang told me that Guan Guan's true identity was the daughter of the Shui family, a noble family in the White Tiger Kingdom, I should have thought that since Nangong Yu could transfer her to the Qinglong Kingdom to dedicate her to Prince Qinglong, and compete with me, his relationship with the Shui family It must be very deep, and the Shui family has been in the White Tiger Kingdom for three generations, and has a close relationship with the royal family of the White Tiger Kingdom. The Nangong family and the Xi family are probably inextricably linked.

Now, Xi Yumen is stationed in Longhuxia, but because I was conferred the title of Empress Dowager Yongjia, he has not dared to send troops to the east, and Xi Yuying is going to Qinglong Kingdom at this time. Use the relationship between the White Tiger Kingdom and the Qinglong Kingdom to achieve his goal of marching into Xuanyuan!
Therefore, I can't let Xi Yuying enter the calling industry. First, we don't know how deep the relationship between her and Nangong Yu is. Second, if she is allowed to enter the calling industry, there are many things she can't know. It will also be exposed, so it is ideal to meet them in the palace attached to the city.

Therefore, Ling Shaoyu immediately announced: "I have already decided to meet the envoy of the White Tiger Kingdom in the palace attached to the city. Internal guard!"

"exist!"

"Immediately send an order to arrange everything in the palace. Tomorrow, I will go with the queen mother and go to the palace!"

"Yes!"

The internal servant immediately turned around and walked out of the imperial study room, and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Department of Accounting also hurried down to prepare after receiving orders. There were not many people left in the imperial study room, and I walked in front of Nangong Yu.

"Lord Nangong."

"Empress Dowager." He still didn't change his face, he didn't even smile complacently, he was still respectful and bowed his head to me in a polite and thoughtful manner.

"Master Wei," I turned my head to look at Wei Yusheng who was standing opposite him, and Wei Yusheng also walked in front of me, and I said slowly: "This time the envoy of the White Tiger Kingdom came, and the palace and the emperor decided to go to the palace in person. , all affairs in the palace will be handed over to Mr. Nangong and Mr. Wei."

Nangong Yu and Wei Yusheng looked at each other, and at the same time bowed to me and said: "I respect the Queen Mother Yizhi."

"The two lovers are going to work hard."

"The Empress Dowager ordered, I dare not speak bitterly."

I smiled faintly, walked up to Nangong again, and said, "General Nangong, this time, you can accompany me."

"The command of the last general."

When he bent down and looked up at me, his face was still pale, but his thin lips were tightly closed, as if he didn't intend to say a word anymore, and I could feel that what he wanted to say just now, Maybe it's hard to say.

The next day, Ling Shaoyu and I drove out of the palace in full gear and went to the palace in Fucheng.

Compared with the majestic Zhaoye Palace, the Xinggong Palace has lost the arrogance of the largest country in the East. The civil structure palace is surrounded by mountains on three sides, green and green, and the quiet palace is full of bronze oil lamps for ladies. The utensils showed a faint breath.

Although it is not as dignified to meet the envoy here as in the palace, it is just as I like.

If Xi Yuying's visit this time is really related to the war between Baihu Kingdom and Xuanyuan Kingdom, then such an environment will undoubtedly give them a surprise. important.

At noon, everything was ready in the palace garden, Ling Shaoyu was sitting right above, and I was sitting next to him, surrounded by civil and military ministers were also standing solemnly, in such a huge garden, all civil and military officials and attendants did not even hear a cough Voice.

After a while, the internal guard in front hurriedly came to report:
"The envoy of the White Tiger Kingdom has arrived!"

As soon as we looked up, we saw a group of people walking slowly towards the other end of the garden, and the leading figure suddenly jumped into my eyes.

This woman is tall and slender, wearing a long golden dress, her figure looks exquisite, but she is not frivolous at all; her skin is as white as creamy fat, her facial features are profound, and she also has a unique charm of exotic women, especially her pair of high The high protruding phoenix eyes added to her beauty an aura that ordinary people don't have.

She may not be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, but she is undoubtedly the most unique princess.

I subconsciously glanced at Nangong who was standing behind me, he just looked straight ahead, his calm face looked as if there were no waves in the ancient well, but I clearly felt that there was a flash of light in those eyes that could have been calm at first. A little bit - nervous?
In a blink of an eye, they had already walked under the emperor's seat. Xi Yuying saluted lightly and said loudly: "Xi Yuying, the envoy of the White Tiger Kingdom, has seen His Majesty the Emperor."

Her demeanor was solemn, neither humble nor overbearing, but she showed a bit of the aura that a princess of the White Tiger Kingdom should have.

Ling Shaoyu was also sitting on the seat, solemnly raising his hand: "The princess has come all the way, thank you for your hard work."

"Don't dare."

After Xi Yuying finished speaking, she turned her eyes to me again: "This is—"

"This is the Empress Dowager Yongjia of our country, the empress of the late emperor."

Xi Yuying raised her eyebrows, the expression on her face became a little strange, when she looked at me, her gaze showed a bit of concentration, and she said, "So it's—Princess Ruyi?"

I got up and gave her a slight nod: "Princess, it's a pleasure to meet you."

At this moment, I suddenly felt a gaze shot out from the crowd. When I saw my face, the gaze was sharp and cold, with a bit of breathtaking vigor. As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Xi Yu A woman behind Sakura.

What a beautiful woman!
This woman is slightly shorter than Xi Yuying, wearing a delicate goose yellow dress with a tight belt, which highlights her slender waist and slender legs; her eyebrows are deep, similar to Xi Yu Sakura also has an exotic style, she is obviously a charming and charming woman, but her demeanor is very cold, even with a hint of coldness.

And her appearance, for some reason, gave me a feeling of deja vu.

Where have you seen it?

When I was looking at her, those beautiful eyes also looked at me, flashing a strange brilliance, but she didn't say much, she just followed behind Xi Yuying with downcast eyes, and after Shaoyu bestowed her seat, , and they sat in the position next to the emperor.

Ling Shaoyu said: "The green dragon and the white tiger are separated by thousands of miles from one east to the other. This time, the princess came here not far away. I don't know why?"

Xi Yuying smiled and said: "The countries in the Central Plains are originally one, but our country and your country are separated by thousands of miles, and have been estranged to this day. Since the emperor's brother Xi Yumen has been busy with state affairs, he has not been able to come to the East to have a drink with the king of your country. , I am deeply regretful in my life. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne and the beginning of the new year, I am here to congratulate you, and hope that Qinglong Emperor will start the new year and enjoy the prosperity of the East."

These words are indeed high-sounding.

But I am very clear in my heart, if it is just for congratulations, the letter of credence is enough, why use the princess of the White Tiger Kingdom to come to Qinglong Kingdom as an envoy?

However, since she said that, of course that's the only way to answer her words.

Next, there are some common rhetoric, and this kind of banquet has become a welcome banquet, nothing more than singing and dancing to promote peace, talking and drinking, and interlacing with each other, it is a scene of singing praises for the peace of the world.

And I noticed that throughout the banquet, Nangong standing behind me was silent all the time, and his eyes were always on the side of the envoy of the White Tiger Kingdom.

As if, looking at someone.

I couldn't help but think of what he didn't finish talking to me in the garden yesterday, and later when I heard Xi Yuying came to Qinglong Kingdom as a messenger, his dejected expression made me feel a little uneasy.

If Xi Yuying was really attracted by Nangong Yu, then what is the connection between them, or what agreement did they reach?
What kind of role is Nangong in front of her?
Also, the woman behind Xi Yuying.

My gaze never left her, and her gaze never seemed to leave me.

I don't know why, she gave me a strange feeling, not only her familiar face, but also her beautiful appearance, cold temperament, and the strange eyes when she saw me, also gave me a strange feeling .

Who is she?

More than half of the banquet was going on, and it was still you coming and going to toast and celebrate, singing and dancing, and suddenly Yu Sui'er ran over and said that there was something important to report to the emperor. Said, showing hesitation, Xi Yuying immediately said: "Since Emperor Qinglong wants to deal with state affairs, I don't want to disturb you. Besides, the scenery here is beautiful, and this princess wants to visit around."

"Oh? That's great, I'll let someone guide the princess."

"No need." That Xi Yuying got up, said with a smile: "This princess used to have an old relationship with the Empress Dowager Yongjia, may I invite the Empress Dowager Yongjia to travel with me?"

Both Ling Shaoyu and I changed our expressions.

Is she old with me?
By the way, what she said should be Ghost Valley. I should have met her in Ghost Valley back then, and she said that, it seems that she has something to say to me.

Thinking of this, I got up and said: "Since the princess is interested, I also want to catch up with the princess."

Ling Shaoyu glanced at me worriedly, I gave him a look back, indicating that it was okay, he nodded, explained something and left, at this time Xi Yuying had already walked to the center of the garden, and I had also walked to her In front of him, he stretched out his hand——

"Princess please."

The scenery of the palace is indeed beautiful.

Compared with the imperial palace of Zhaoye, this place lacks the arrogance of the royal family, but has a bit more natural scenery with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The green mountains in the distance are reflected in the lake, and there is a bit of light fragrance of flowers in the long water vapor, which makes people want to get drunk.

Xi Yuying and I walked in front, seemingly consciously, she made the people behind me walk very slowly, and I did the same. Gradually, it was only the two of us walking in the garden.

Only then did I realize that at some point, Nangong had disappeared.

Did he consciously avoid Xi Yuying?

I was thinking in my heart, and I was a little dazed, and I walked to the water's edge unknowingly, saying that I was reminiscing about the old days, but after all, Xi Yuying and I had no old things to recount, and the atmosphere was a little silent.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly said, "I've always wanted to see you again all these years."

My heart moved, she really had something to say.

"I still remember the way you appeared in Ghost Valley back then. You were so arrogant, but I didn't expect that today—" Her eyes fell on my face: "It will become like this."

Arrogant?Hehe, what she was talking about was that Xuanyuan Xingsi back then, but she didn't expect that standing in front of her was just a woman covered in bruises...

"Even your face is ruined."

I subconsciously stretched out my hand, and stroked the uneven scar on my cheek with my nails, feeling a bit sour in my heart.

I said lightly: "Things are impermanent, and people will change. The princess is still beautiful and moving. She is under one person and above ten thousand in the White Tiger Kingdom, but this palace is already withered and dying."

"The shape is withered, and it is about to die?"

She turned her head to look at me, there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, and her tone became a bit sharp: "When you are dying, can people give up everything for you, even life?"

"..."

I felt a lump in my heart, and suddenly realized something.

Nangong, is she talking about Nangong?

From the very beginning, when Nangong heard the news that she was coming, he always behaved strangely, and just now, his eyes kept looking at her side. Up to now, Xi Yuying has even said these words directly—— Could it be that between her and Nangong...

For some reason, my heart suddenly became a little heavy.

"Princess, do you want to say—"

"Although I know that you were already entangled in Ghost Valley, but I didn't expect that after all these years, you would meet again. You married someone else, and he still didn't care if you hurt him like this. , and paid so much for you."

My heart is getting heavier and heavier.

For a long time, I have never taken Nangong's contribution for granted, but I have never been able to give him what he wants. I know that I have shamelessly enjoyed his tenderness, but I have not returned a single bit of it. And these words, from this What kind of irony is it from a woman's mouth?

"Princess Yuying, what exactly do you want to say?"

She looked at me: "I want to know, what would you do if he came back to you and guarded you?"

I bit my lower lip and said lightly: "I can give some things, and I will give them if he wants them; but there are some things that I don't have anymore, no matter what, I can't give them to him..."

Xi Yuying raised her eyebrows, looked at me, there was no sarcasm in her eyes, but there was a bit of familiarity in her eyes.

"Unexpectedly, you are still the same as in the past." She smiled lightly: "You can always see what you want, even——what you want has changed, but you are still sober, sober so annoying! "

After saying this, she coldly said "Don't forget what you said", then turned and walked towards the other side of the garden.

I also know that this conversation broke up unhappy.

Standing in the same place stupidly, I couldn't react for a while, I don't know why Xi Yuying asked for such an explanation for Nangong, and I don't know, what is the relationship between Nangong's weirdness and her arrival?
I stood silently for a while, until the sky changed a little, then I turned and walked towards my residence.

The layout of the palace is very simple, but because it was built for summer vacation and leisure, the natural road is more winding and winding, and there are many scenery around it. There is a faint fragrance of osmanthus, but when you look up, you can't see the osmanthus trees. It's a row of rockery next to it, which blocks all the osmanthus trees.

I walked by the rockery and prepared to walk from the osmanthus forest to my residence.

But just approaching, I heard a woman's cold voice from the other side of the rockery——

"Shouldn't our engagement be fulfilled?"

engagement……

My footsteps faltered, and I subconsciously raised my head, and through one end of the rockery, I saw a woman standing in Guilin opposite, with a goose-yellow long skirt and a beautiful appearance. It was the woman who followed behind Xi Yuying before.

She stood sideways, as if facing someone, but the rockery blocked my sight.

Who is she engaged to?To actually say it in the palace of Qinglong Kingdom, could it be——

A strange feeling suddenly rose in my heart, as if something heavy had smashed into my heart all of a sudden.

At this moment, a familiar voice rang in my ears——

"Xunyou, let me think about it again, okay?"

Xunyou? !
Shui Xunyou? !

Unexpectedly, the woman who spoke was actually Shui Xunyou!

No wonder I always thought she looked familiar, she and Guan Guan are half-sisters, their appearances are naturally similar, and the Shui family is the general of the White Tiger Kingdom, Shui Xunyou's swordsmanship is excellent, so naturally he is the best master beside Princess Yuying !

But these were not enough to surprise me. What really stunned me was the man's voice——

Nangong? !
