Concubine like a house

Chapter 121 The Love and Official Career Takes a Lot of Thinking (2)
"Maybe it's fate." Shen Yu sighed, "Who can say the word 'love' accurately." "Yes!" Nie Peixiao said with great emotion, "It is now in the courtyard where Luan Su lived in my Cheng Wang's mansion. It is still vacant, and no one is allowed to live in it, so as to keep its original appearance. When I came to take over Fangzhou, Brother Huang specially ordered me to take care of the Lanzhi grass garden inside... I guess it was also planted by Luan Su."

Shen Yu smiled and shook his head when he heard the words: "You have revealed so many private matters of the Holy Majesty to me, I will be punished with beheading." Nie Peixiao laughed and got up from the case, and patted him on the shoulder: "You The Venerable Master's head grows firmly, and it won't fall off for a while."

Even after hearing this, Shen Yu was still a little worried: "I'm afraid that the Holy Majesty is hurting now, and he will take a knife to vent on me."

"Don't worry, I still have a secret weapon." Nie Peixiao smiled meaningfully, "Once you use it, your affairs will surely come to fruition."

"Oh?" Shen Yu also understood immediately, "You mean... I'm afraid it can't be done." "Then let's wait and see." Nie Peixiao seemed to have a plan in mind.Up to now, Shen Yu has no choice but to choose to believe him: "His Royal Highness, I hope so." After the two talked for so long, Shen Yu suddenly found that the hustle and bustle outside the tent was much quieter. , at least not as willfully as before Nie Peixiao came.Apparently Nie Peixiao himself realized it too. He looked sideways at the roasted whole lamb on the felt blanket, and said with a smile, "It's getting cold, and it smells like mutton."

"I ordered someone to take it out." Shen Yu pondered for a moment, "Should I let them roast another one? How many drinks can I have with you?" Nie Peixiao waved his hand: "No, with me here, the soldiers are also restrained." Very. But after tonight, you have to stand up, and you can't let the emperor see the army eating and drinking." "It's natural, they are only allowed to indulge this night." Shen Yu smiled back.Nie Peixiao didn't speak any more, opened the curtain and walked out.The attendants of Prince Cheng's mansion followed immediately, and the soldiers also knelt down again to send off His Highness Prince Cheng respectfully.Shen Yu sent Nie Peixiao all the way outside the camp in the west of the city, only to hear his last instruction: "Although the bonfire is lively, but there is wind tonight, be careful not to get into the water."

In front of outsiders, Shen Yu also paid great attention to his wording: "The last general takes orders, thank you for your consideration." Nie Peixiao said "Yes", and raised her hand to signal Shen Yu to stay. At this time, the attendants also led his mount over.Nie Peixiao quickly got on the horse, swung the whip and rode away.Under the light and shadow of the night, the torches of the camp in the west of the city shone brightly, making the back of the purple-clothed man look very chic, riding his horse Juechen like a god of war.

Fifteen days later.In the first year of Nanxi Tianshou, on the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, the sky was bright and the summer breeze was blowing.A full month after Luan Su went out to sea to escape the world, Nie Peihan, the god-given emperor, returned to his former feudal city, Fangzhou, and arrived in Yanlan City, the capital.Before dawn, Cheng Wang Nie Peixiao led his cronies to the gate of the city and waited for him to be picked up at the ten-mile long pavilion. Naturally, Weiyuan General Shen Yu was also among them.The crowd waited for an hour and a half before the Heavenly Granted Emperor arrived.The Wujin Chaoyang sprinkled on the big stone characters carved on the south gate, plating the three words "Smoke and Misty City" with a layer of light gold.The Emperor Tianshou walked to the south gate, stopped his horse deliberately, and stared at the tall and solemn gate with his phoenix eyes.In the past, when he moved into Fangzhou, he managed the place quite orderly. In addition, the Yun family took root here, making the whole Fangzhou very prosperous.Now that he ascended the throne, this place has naturally become a treasure land of geomantic omen. Many prominent families in Nanxi have moved here with their families, hoping to get a taste of the dragon spirit, and then establish some friendship with Prince Cheng's Mansion and Marquis of Lixin's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Emperor Long felt very relieved.I still remember that ten years ago, when he was just conferred the title of Prince Mu, he made a solemn oath at the gate of this magnificent city: In his lifetime, he came from the scenery of Jingzhou, and he must return from the scenery of this place.

For a full ten years, he really did it!Looking at the south city gate with a lot of sighs, the young and peerless Tianshou Emperor rode his horse into the city, stopped for a while under the four archways, and praised the meticulous and gorgeous construction, which is amazing.

The two brothers recounted the past all the way and came to Prince Cheng's Mansion, which was also the former Prince Mu's Mansion.Emperor Tianshou looked at the extra flowers and plants in the mansion, and teased Nie Peixiao: "You are very good at arranging things."

"I didn't dare to change the pattern, why don't you allow me to plant some flowers and plants to make my eyes look good?" Nie Peixiao replied with a smile. "Oh? There are only flowers and plants? No Yingying and Yanyan?" The Emperor Tianshou joked, obviously knowing that someone had dispersed all the concubines in the mansion.

Nie Peixiao's face was immediately embarrassed, and she couldn't answer, so she glanced at Shen Yu in the right back direction from the corner of her eye.Seeing this, Emperor Tianshou narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and there was a trace of a lonely smile in his eyes, and he went straight to a courtyard.Nie Peixiao knew where he was going, so she asked the attendants to stop and follow him alone.Sure enough, the emperor Tianshou came to the place where Luan Su once lived.Nie Peixiao knew that the emperor's brother thought about others when he saw things, so he silently accompanied him.The two brothers are both noble and extraordinary, and they stopped silently facing a piece of Lanzhi grass garden.The rising sun exudes a hint of heat, and occasionally a hot wind comes slowly, blowing the fragrance of Lanzhi grass all over the garden.After a long time, the emperor said in a low voice: "This grass garden was planted by me and her... Lanzhi grass is her favorite spice."

That's the case, no wonder Brother Huang attaches so much importance to this grass garden.Nie Peixiao thought so, and persuaded: "There is no grass in the end of the world. I lost a Luan Su, and there are other women."

Hearing this, Emperor Tianshou raised the corners of his charming lips, smiled self-deprecatingly, and asked him: "Is there any progress between you and Mrs. Chuxiu?"

This time it was Nie Peixiao's turn to be upset: "No... But the future will be long, I'm not in a hurry." I have too many worries, and secondly, I think you are not suitable... But now you are so persistent..." "You agree?" Nie Peixiao asked urgently before the Emperor Tianshou finished speaking.The Emperor Tianshou looked at the Lanzhi Grass Garden in front of him, and replied after a while: "I am in love with Chenxuan's woman myself, so what right do I have to control you? Now I also want to understand, let nature take its course!" He said heavily Patted Nie Peixiao on the shoulder, "'Nan Hanchu, Bei Luansu', I hope that the regrets between Luansu and I can be made up for you and Hanchu."

"However, if you really can't get it because you love it, don't force it." Emperor Tianshou emphasized on purpose.Hearing this, Nie Peixiao sighed and was moved. She wanted to say thank you but didn't know how to say it, so she stood there silently for a while.

Emperor Tianshou looked clear, and smiled again: "Don't say that I won't create opportunities for you. I will hold a banquet at Prince Cheng's Mansion tonight. You can invite her over in my name."

An hour after saying this, the post for the banquet was delivered to Chuxiu.In fact, Chuxiu already knew about the private visit of Emperor Tianshou to Fangzhou Weifu.Since King Cheng's army did not go to Beijing on time, she sensed something strange and sent Yun's secret guards to inquire about the news.

But if you know it, you know it, and if you know it, you still have to pretend you don't know it.In the past half month, I haven't seen Shen Yu and Nie Peixiao again in Chuxiu. The two of them are very busy to welcome the Emperor Tianshou, and they also stay at home in Chuxiu.

Now that Zhu Yang is pregnant, she can no longer do the job of a female guard. According to Mrs. Tai's intention, a new female guard should be appointed to replace Zhu Yang.But Chuxiu is lazy and tossing around, and she is gradually reducing the number of public appearances.Zuo Zuo Yun Cheng is 14 years old and has also taken over a lot of business. Chuxiu plans to retreat behind the scenes and focus on teaching him.

Therefore, when she received the banquet invitation from Emperor Tianshou, she planned to take the opportunity to plan a good marriage for Yun Cheng, and then she would completely retire.

The new moon is like traces, clear and bright silver.Chuxiu specially wore a gorgeous and solemn skirt, and planned to go to Cheng Wang's mansion for a banquet.The light blue smoked gauze is embroidered with charming auspicious patterns with gold thread, which is complicated and delicate, making the original plain and simple fabric very beautiful.

Just after dressing up in this room, the bamboo shadow in the other room has already reported outside: "Madam, the carriage of Prince Cheng's mansion has arrived." Out of Xiuxiu, the lotus steps lightly moved around the screen, and walked slowly to the door of the bedroom, saying: "Bamboo Shadow, you come with me."

Zhu Yang was a little worried, so he volunteered: "Madam, why don't I go with you too." "No!" As soon as Zhu Yang made this request, Chuxiu and Zhu Ying blurted out their refusal.Out of Xiu looked at the other party's still flat belly, and said with a smile, "It's been almost three months, how can you move around? It's a good life in Zhiyanxuan, if something goes wrong, Zhuying will not let you go to me."

But Zhuyang was still worried: "Then you send a few more hidden guards to follow." Chuxiu shook his head: "This is a banquet invited by Emperor Tianshou himself. If I bring a group of guards in a mighty way, wouldn't it be offensive to Tian Yan? People think I, Mrs. Yun, is protesting against him." Chuxiu turned to look at Lianxin again, and continued: "The more people go, the easier it is to cause trouble. It is enough for you and Zhuying to go with me." Lianxin She nodded and agreed, and after thinking about it, she persuaded: "Madam, at least you should bring a sharp weapon for self-defense?" Chuxiu hesitated for a moment: "Prince Cheng's mansion is heavily guarded, and there are the guards of Emperor Tianshou, what are you afraid of? "

But having said that, she still said to Danxin, "Go and get the dagger on my desk." Danxin took the order and hurried away, and came over with a dagger in his hand after a while: "You don't care about such a cold and hard thing." It’s still on the bedside, and I feel the chill just holding it, and I want to shiver.” While speaking, she handed the dagger into Chuxiu’s hand, and commented, “But this dagger is so pretty.”

It is not so much a dagger as it is an exquisite toy, because it is too gorgeous.The ruby ​​inlaid on the scabbard is transparent and dazzling, and the word "deep" engraved on the body of the dagger is so deep that one has to remember it in one's heart.However, Chuxiu could no longer remember her original intention of leaving this dagger.

Gathering back her thoughts, Chuxiu hurriedly put the dagger back into her sleeve, raised her eyes to look at the clear night, and said: "You all be careful tonight."

"Yes." Zhuying and Danxin replied in unison, and followed Chuxiu towards the gate.This Yunfu, which has been prosperous for hundreds of years, is magnificent and solemn, and the vermilion lacquered main gate slowly opened with a low and solemn sound.The three master and servant got into the carriage and went to this delicate night banquet.
