Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 19 Boudoir
Sister, you seem a little unhappy, what's on your mind? Seeing Situ Yushuang with frosty cheeks coming in from the door, the girl who was reading a book quickly put down the book and asked in concern. The personal maid Han Yan who came in immediately took off the master's cloak, and then hung it on the clothes for him. on the hat rack.
"Miss, you should grill your hands. It's really cold outside. The Spring Festival is about to come, but this ghostly weather doesn't look like it's returning to sunshine at all." Han Yan moved the soft chair to the brazier with concern , next to the girl reading a book.
"Hmph, I think the weather is the same as people's moods, the more unfavorable, the worse." Sitting on the soft chair, he gently rubbed his stiff hands. Gradually returned to nature.
"What's the matter, sister?" The chestnut-haired girl raised her delicate dimple and looked curiously at herself, the thirteenth princess of the empire.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I feel a little depressed, but then again, how much does it have to do with me?" Sighed lightly, and didn't answer the chestnut-haired girl's question directly.
"Han Yan, what is it that makes my sister so unhappy?" The chestnut-haired girl is naturally Sophia, the exiled princess of the former Jamero Kingdom.
"Miss Sophia, I don't know what's wrong with Miss, she just came back from His Highness Ninth Prince." Han Yan glanced at her lady.
"Did you quarrel with your ninth brother?" Sophia asked with concern.
"No, it's all right." Situ Yushuang moved her hands, feeling that the temperature in the room was a bit high, and then unbuttoned the top button of the gold silk rusty coat, revealing a white jade-like neck, "That Li Wufeng came to Beijing to report on his work. Today, I met my father at court, and I don’t know why my father was so dazed that he was promoted to duke, and he was also appointed as the governor of the North Luzon area, in charge of all military and political affairs in the entire Northwest County and North Luzon. .”
"Oh? This guy has entered Beijing, and he was named Governor of Northern Luzon? So this guy has already controlled Northern Luzon?" Sophia is no longer the ignorant girl she was a year ago. Staying in Situ Yushuang's mansion reclusive, but very concerned about the political situation of the entire mainland.
The Maqi Khanate once again raided the Yuejing Kingdom and included the Yuejing Kingdom in one fell swoop, which aroused strong reactions from the empire and surrounding Milan and other countries, which made her very excited. However, the embarrassing facts made her sober again, how unrealistic it is to rely on these illusory forces to restore her own country. The empire suffered a series of disastrous defeats on the southern border. The posturing of both countries frustrates her.
For a while, she fell into confusion. It seemed that there was no power in the entire Eastern Continent that could shake the status of the Machihans. Could it be that her mother and younger brother could only spend their entire lives under the imprisonment of the Machihans, while she was Have you lived your whole life under the fence like this? Although Situ Yushuang never had the intention of disliking her, and even comforted him many times, she is still a girl after all, and she will marry into his family sooner or later, so she might as well go along with her. Of course, it is easy for me to find someone to marry, but I always feel unwilling.
Just when she was at a loss, there was news that the Northwest Army Corps was marching into Luzon. This news caused an uproar in the entire empire. People are also vague. However, she learned from Situ Yushuang that this Li Wufeng dared to send troops to Luzon without the authorization of the central government of the empire. His audacity was really shocking.
But this person's legendary experience once again aroused her great curiosity. Zhang, a little-known small alliance, was able to turn defeat into victory when the main force of the Western Expedition was defeated, and successfully contained the rampant Luo Bei. The invasion of iron cavalry, and in just a few years, suppressed the bandits and quelled the rebellion, then destroyed Luobei, developed the economy, and became the third military governor of the empire who held the military and political power in the northwest. The speed of his fortune was unbelievable. Although Situ Yushuang said in front of her many times that this Li Wufeng climbed to this position because of chance, coincidence and conspiracy, but she herself didn't think so. I don't have any real ability, no strength, how can I rise to such a high position?
Hearing what Situ Yushuang said today, she immediately understood the reason why her sister was in a bad mood. She knew that her sister had a very bad impression of Li Wufeng for some reason, and she always thought that this person was a confidant of the empire. Today, I heard that this person has been promoted again. How can I not be depressed?
But this legendary figure has aroused my curiosity more and more. I really don't know what kind of character this person is? The news media promoted him as rare in the world and unparalleled in the world. If I have the opportunity, I must meet this person.
Seeing Sophia asking, Situ Yushuang nodded slightly: "Yes, this guy really knows how to take advantage of the fire, and when the two powerful neighbors in the south and west of Luzon sent troops to Luzon, he quietly sent troops to pick up a landed one. Tao, controlled the Northern Luzon area, and it is said that he signed a mutual aid agreement with the Luzon people. This guy is really sinister and vicious!" After speaking, Situ Yushuang couldn't help sighing again.
"That's a good thing. He won such a large area for the empire. Isn't your father even happier?" Sophia chuckled.
"Hmph! It is the territory of the empire in name, but the mountains are high and the water is far away there. How can the empire take care of it? I don't think it is equivalent to his own private territory. It also gave him an excuse to ask the empire for money. I only worry about my father The emperor must not be fascinated by this guy's superficial skills, it would be too bad to really think that he is the pillar of the empire." Situ Yushuang's words are deeply rooted, if Wufeng heard it with his own ears, he would probably shudder .
"Sister, you always think that this Li Wufeng has ulterior motives, but there are so many important ministers in the court, all of them are shrewd and capable people, and your father is also a storm-tested person, can't they see it?" Sophia whispered asked.
Situ Yushuang was taken aback by Sophia's words, and with a thoughtful expression on his face, he said after a long while: "I think the court ministers, including my elder brothers, may have thought about this problem, but once Li Wufeng With outstanding military achievements, they all want to use him to guard the northwest frontier. Secondly, they think that if they can control him, everything will be fine if they restrict him to the northwest. What's more, there is no conclusive evidence to prove Li Wufeng's ambition. I'm afraid that once his wings are full and he can't control it, it will be a big mistake."
"Actually, there is a way to solve this problem." Sophia said with a mysterious smile.
"What way?" Situ Yushuang looked disbelieving.
"Anyway, sister, you haven't married yet. I heard that guy hasn't married yet. Why don't you ask your father to marry him and let you marry him and become the son-in-law of the royal family. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" Sophia smiled. Say the answer.
"You! Damn girl, you dare to tease my sister. I think it's better to take the opportunity to introduce the two of you. Maybe it's really a marriage." Situ Yushuang countered with a red face.
"People who have lost their country, dare to expect this?" Sophia's face flashed a gloomy look. She also knew that the upper class of the Tanghe Empire was a place that was extremely particular about family status, and her previous status might still be justified. But now that the country is in ruins, and I have no one to rely on, even I dare not reveal my identity, so how can I expect anything else?
Situ Yushuang saw that Sophia's face became a little gloomy, and she knew that it touched her hidden pain, so she quickly encouraged her: "Sister, you don't have to belittle yourself. With your talent and family background, as long as you say it, my sister is sure that the emperor will come to your door The young heroes who are courting are enough to line up the entire Kaixuan Avenue.”
Although she knew that Situ Yushuang was relieving her, Sophia still laughed amused by her exaggerated statement.
"But sister, I think you can really get in touch with this Li Wufeng. Even if you can't become friends, you can still find out what kind of person this person is?" Sophia suggested sincerely.
"Damn girl, it's here again. I don't think it's my contact with him, but you. Is Chun's heart moved and you want to see him?" Situ Yushuang's mischievous eyes swirled on Sophia.
Before Sophia could answer, Han Yan next to her took up the conversation: "Miss, I think Miss Sophia is right, you can meet this Li Wufeng, it's just a matter of meeting, in case you really want to I heard His Highness the Ninth Prince mentioned this matter last time he came here." This Han Yan was originally the daughter of a small businessman in the imperial capital, but unfortunately her father committed suicide after going bankrupt and left the whole family behind. Han Yan had to be sold into the slave market. It happened that the royal family needed a group of young girls to serve as servants of the royal children. Han Yan was bought and assigned to Situ Yushuang's name. Yushuang grew up together, and the relationship between the two is very good, like sisters, so they speak more casually.
"Don't mention him. I don't know what he is up to. Hmph, I make my own decisions. Even my father has to ask for my opinion first." Situ Yushuang's face darkened.
Seeing Situ Yushuang's change of color, Sophia and the second daughter of Hanyan dare not mention this matter again~IndoMTL.com~His Majesty is here! "
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had arrived at the door, the light-dressed lady hurriedly blessed her, "I welcome Your Majesty."
"Forget it, it's old couples, why are you so polite?" Waving his hand, Situ Mingyue still looked radiant.
"I see that His Majesty is in good spirits today. What is it that makes His Majesty so excited?" The light-dressed lady, who is very good at observing words and expressions, asked while taking off her robe for Situ Mingyue.
"It's nothing, don't ask too much about these court matters." Situ Mingyue sat gently beside the mahogany carved dragon and phoenix bed, and let the lady undress him.
The two maids who followed in had already closed the brocade curtain separating the inner and outer rooms with interest, and then quietly exited the room.
"Your Majesty, you have come here less often recently." The lady's tired voice came from the big bed with the curtain closed.
"Sigh, I'm busy with things these days, so I can't take time off." Situ Mingyue's voice seemed a little out of breath.
"Hmph, don't go to other people's place again." A delicate voice.
"Who said that? I'm lucky that you already have the most people here." Situ Mingyue felt a little powerless.
"Your Majesty, don't be too tired. Be careful that you are exhausted. The affairs of the court and China are handled by ministers. If you are worried, you can let Biaoer and the others do it." The big bed gradually shook slightly, There were bursts of snorting and snorting sounds.
"Well, Biao'er has performed very well recently and has made great progress."
"Then His Majesty should let him share some things for you." The voice was a little hurried and slightly panting.
"I see." Immediately after the shaking of the bed got bigger and bigger, bursts of groaning sounds also slowly sounded.
