www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
In the spacious study room, there are several mahogany bookshelves against the wall. In the center is a large purple purlin wood desk inlaid with cirrus patterns. On the desk are neatly placed some official documents, some calligraphy, pens, ink and paper. Inkstone, all available.
After writing the case, Han Lingguan's face was gloomy. He couldn't hide his irritability, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "The marriage between the three emperor sisters is really an advantage for the eldest brother!" Once his father helps Kuilang recover, then The eldest brother's strength has greatly increased, but he himself...
The more Han Lingguan thought about it, the tighter his brows furrowed.
Recently, he has been careful in everything he does, cautious in everything, and has careful plans, but everything still goes wrong.
In the past, he thought that the third and fifth emperor brothers were his biggest competitors, but now it seems that the eldest emperor brother should not be underestimated!
But, how could that reckless man have such a scheme! ? Could it be that something happened that he didn't know about...
Lu Yao, the staff member sitting by the window, stroked his goatee and said calmly: "Your Highness, actually this is not necessarily the case! Your Highness, if you think about it carefully, the third princess is not only the sister of the eldest prince, but also your sister, Your Highness. It may not be impossible for His Highness to win over Kui Lang."
Han Lingguan half-squinted his eyes. After the death of his biological mother, the three emperor sisters were raised in the name of Li Bin. Even if the relationship between brother and sister is not mentioned, if the three emperor sisters want to live comfortably in the future, they must not violate Li Bin and his wife. The meaning of the great emperor brother. How could Guan Luyao not know this? With Guan Luyao's temperament, he would never act aimlessly.
Han Ling looked at Guan Luyao and asked seriously: "Mr. Guan, what do you say?"
A smug smile appeared on Guan Luyao's sallow face, and he said: "Your Highness, according to what I know, the third princess actually has a different love in her heart, and she is not willing to marry Na Kuilang..."
Han Lingguan raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Guan, what do you know..."
Guan Luyao said: "Your Highness, the informant in the palace has received news that the third princess cried for ten days after the marriage was arranged, and accidentally let the news slip. The person she longed for seemed to be Wen Yu. If it were Your Highness, If the third princess's wish can be achieved, then the third princess..." Wouldn't it mean that she would join His Highness? With the three princesses around, things will be easier to handle.
Three Emperors Sister is actually interested in Wen Yu? Han Lingguan's lips curled up, thoughtfully, and couldn't help but think of the fire-warming party at Aunt Yongyang's house last winter. It was obvious that the Third Emperor's sister had never been close to Aunt Yongyang, but she seemed inexplicably attentive that day. At that time, she felt I still thought it was strange, but now that I think about it, it suddenly dawns on me.
So it turns out that this is for the sake of personal love between the children!
Han Lingguan looked happy, women are the easiest to be moved by emotion, so there is still a lot to be done for him.
This is truly the ultimate road. He thought that Kuilang's side must be dead, but he didn't want to think that there was still such a way to survive. If Wen Yu can play a little role in the third princess's side, then it will not be in vain to spend so much energy on him!
Han Lingguan's index finger moved a few times on the rosewood desk, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Mr. Guan, Guan Yubai will leave for southern Xinjiang in a few days, and his father plans to hold a palace banquet to see him off. ..." In fact, everyone knows very well that seeing off is just a nice excuse. When a minister is traveling, he needs the emperor to condescend to see him off. This is just what the emperor did to Kui Lang to show that he is well off. It's just sincerity for Kuilang's restoration.
Guan Luyao is a smart man. He knows the elegant meaning of string music after hearing it. He quickly stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, I will go to Wen Yu personally to talk..."
The third princess and Wen Yu are different in gender and rarely have the opportunity to meet each other on weekdays. The palace banquet is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
Han Lingguan and Guan Luyuan looked at each other and smiled, already impatient for this palace banquet.
Three days later, the palace banquet was held as scheduled. Since the New Year's greetings, the palace had not been lively for a while. For a while, this palace banquet became the focus of the royal capital's attention.
As one of the protagonists of this palace banquet, Guan Yubai naturally set off for the palace early. He got off the carriage in front of the palace gate, and a young chamberlain came forward to lead him into the palace. At this moment, a carriage and a horse also arrived outside the palace gate. On the tall horse, a foreign man wearing a brocade robe appeared. Tall and majestic, with handsome features and sharp outlines, he exudes an exotic style that is not found in Dayu people, but there is a faint haze hidden between his brows.
This person is none other than Ma Kuilang, the prince of Baiyang and now the third consort of Dayu.
As soon as he saw Guan Yubai in front of him, Kui Lang's face suddenly brightened, he dismounted neatly, and casually threw the reins to the accompanying guards.
"Master Guan Hou!" Kui Lang stepped forward to greet Guan Yubai speaking in Dayu dialect which was fairly fluent.
At the same time, in the red-wheeled cart behind, the palace maid carefully helped the third princess down. The third princess is still a bride, wearing a bright red gauze palace dress with gold sparse embroidery, a peony bun, and a golden Chaoyang Five Phoenix hairpin with pearls on her head. The phoenix head is decorated with three tassels made of rice-sized beads. It looks graceful, luxurious, bright and moving.
As soon as she got off the Zhu Lun Car, she looked for Kui Lang intuitively, but found that the other person did not wait for her, but went forward to talk to Guan Yubai.
The third princess lowered her eyes, a flash of anger flashed in her eyes. She was indeed a southern barbarian. Even the eldest prince was a person who did not understand the rules. However, she was so rich that she wanted to marry such a rough man... What she thought The ideal husband in the movie should be...
The third princess's eyes darkened and she did not dare to think about it any more. Since Kui Lang ignored her, she simply didn't wait for Kui Lang, got on the chariot directly, and ordered the palace maid to lead her into the palace for the banquet. Anyway, she wouldn't be the only one who would be embarrassed.
The chariot drove past Kui Lang and Guan Yubai at a leisurely pace, but Kui Lang didn't even glance at the third princess. He still said to Guan Yubai: "Master Guan Yubai, I remember you Dayu There is a saying that when we meet, we are destined. Since we have met, how about we go together?"
Guan Yubai responded with a smile and his expression was as usual, making it impossible for Kui Lang to see what he was thinking.
The two of them got into the chariot under the guidance of the young chamberlain.
The chariot passed the palace gate, and Kui Lang asked enthusiastically: "Is the Marquis Guan going to southern Xinjiang early tomorrow morning?" He tried to be calm, but it was related to his restoration cause, and his tone was unavoidable. Showing a trace of eagerness.
Guan Yubai responded lightly: "Back to the Third Prince Consort, that's right."
Kui Lang's expression froze for a moment. With Guan Yubai's wit, it was impossible that he didn't know his intentions, but he was deliberately pretending to be confused. In the past, Kui Lang just wanted to say "shameless", but things are different now...
Kui Lang can't just count on Han Lingfu, the key to this battle lies in Guan Yubai!
Now that he is an eagle with injured wings, he can only endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and suffer hardships.
Kui Lang lowered his eyes, hiding a hint of evil in his eyes.
However, he thought he was hiding it well, but he did not escape Guan Yubai's eyes.
Kui Lang said nonchalantly: "I wonder what the Marquis's plans are after arriving in southern Xinjiang?"
"Three Princes-in-law." Guan Yubai smiled lightly and said, "You want to know when Dayu will officially start war with Baiyue."
Guan Yubai's perfunctory attitude just now made Kui Lang unhappy, but now that he was so straightforward, Kui Lang was shocked and didn't know how to react. He didn't even use a word he had prepared.
But the official language was so plain and elegant, and even the voice did not fluctuate much, he said: "I wonder if the three princes hope that Dayu will win a great victory, or... and Nuhar will both lose?"
Kui Lang's face suddenly darkened, and he stopped pretending and said, "What does the Marquis mean?"
The official language is white with a smile but no words.
Kui Lang fell silent, and Guan Yubai was not in a hurry, looking out the window leisurely.
The chariot moved forward slowly, with a building taking five steps and a pavilion taking ten steps. A cobblestone path on the right led to the Imperial Garden not far away.
The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the royal garden is deep with flowers and trees.
Finally, Kui Lang spoke, breaking the calm, "Master Marquis, I hope I can return to my homeland..."
Guan Yubai turned to look at him and said with a smile: "How can the Third Prince Consort let Guan know your sincerity?" He paused deliberately, tapped the table with his slender fingers, and said: "...For Guan, a battle with Baiyue is a good opportunity."
Guan Yubai seemed to have stopped there, but it made Kui Lang think more.
Guan Yubai, this person, Kui Lang was already a thunderbolt when he was in Baiyue.
He has only returned to the royal capital a few years ago and has already firmly entered the center of power in Dayu. However, with his age and status, it is difficult for him to go further. Come to think of it, this time in the battle with Baiyue, no, in this battle with Nuhar, did Guan Yubai want to take advantage of the opportunity to make meritorious deeds? ! That's why he came to win over him. After all, he is more familiar with Baiyue than anyone else.
Thinking about this, Kui Lang felt relieved.
He knows that Guan Yubai is not really indifferent to fame and fortune, so this is the best!
Kui Lang thought he had guessed Guan Yubai's thoughts, so he no longer concealed anything and said bluntly: "What does the Marquis want me to do?"
Guan Yubai had a light and elegant smile at the corner of his mouth, Xi Shui's eyes were extremely clear, and he just sat there quietly and responded to the word "a gentleman is like jade".
……
At this time, the third princess had already got off the chariot and, under the guidance of the palace maid, walked forward along a cobblestone path.
She was preoccupied, so she was in a daze from time to time, until her personal maid suddenly sternly asked the maid in pink who was leading the way: "Stop! Where are you taking us?!"
The third princess came back to her senses and found that she was led outside the West Garden of Ningfu Palace in the northwest of the palace. This garden is a bit remote and the scenery is not as good as the other three gardens in the palace. On weekdays, few people come. The banquet will naturally not be placed here.
The third princess narrowed her eyes slightly, and shot her sharp eyes towards the pink-clad palace maid, scolding: "You are so brave! What's the conspiracy to bring me here!?"
The palace maid in pink was blessed and said respectfully: "Someone wants to reminisce with Her Highness the Princess, so I would like to invite Her Highness into the garden..."
"Presumptuous!" The third princess tossed her sleeves angrily, "Who are you, how dare you order me!"
The third princess was about to leave when she heard a familiar voice coming from behind: "Cousin..."
The sound of "cousin" was so familiar to the third princess that she couldn't help but tremble slightly and slowly followed the sound.
I saw a handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen years old walking out from behind a rockery in front of him. He was wearing a sapphire blue brocade robe with wide sleeves and rolled back lettering pattern, and a thick dark silver and jade-studded waistband. With a brocade belt and a tall figure, he looks tough and upright.
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun shone warmly on the young man's sapphire blue robe, making the color brighter and brighter. However, half of his body was still in the shadow of the rockery, with light and darkness, light and shadow intertwined, lining up The young man exudes a mysterious aura.
The young man stood there, looking at the third princess quietly, and did not move closer.
"Cousin Yu..." The third princess looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief. Isn't that... the one she has been dreaming about?
Could it be that Wen Yu bribed the palace maid to deliberately lure him here? !
Could it be that Wen Yu...
The third princess was very excited. She wanted to get closer to Wen Yu, but she hesitated after taking a step forward.
Now that she is married, what will happen even if he is interested in her? ! Who told her to be born as a royal princess, destined to sacrifice for her father and Dayu...
At this point, rice has become cooking pot. Even if the man is in love and the concubine is interested, so what? !
The third princess looked at Wen Yu with tearful eyes, took one step back and then turned around to leave resolutely, but someone grabbed her wrist.
Wen Yu strode over at some point and firmly held the third princess's wrist.
The third princess only felt the other person's warm and dry palm touching her skin, and the feeling of skin-to-skin contact made her heart beat faster.
"Cousin Yu, you..." The third princess opened her misty eyes and met Wen Yu's hot and bright eyes. The two looked at each other affectionately, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment. At this moment, the third princess had long forgotten the other people around her.
"Jiyu!" Wen Yu slowly called the third princess's name, which made her heart tremble.
It turns out that her cousin Yu really cares about her!
"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" Wen Yu's eyes as deep as the night sea shone with tears, blaming himself, "I always felt that I was not worthy of you, Ji Yu. I didn't expect that the moment of struggle... You hesitated, but the emperor actually granted you a marriage!"
The third princess took out a rose-red silk handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sighed quietly: "Cousin Yu, I am satisfied to know your thoughts today..." She knew that Cousin Yu had She was so kind to Xiao Fei only because she was grateful to Princess Zhennan for saving her life. If she had known this, she should have expressed her feelings to cousin Yu as early as possible...
It's too late, it's too late now!
"It's not too late!" Wen Yu seemed to have read the third princess's thoughts, raised his voice slightly, and tightly held the third princess's catkin with both hands, "Jiyu, we still have a chance!"
How is that possible? ! The third princess looked at Wen Yu with slightly stunned eyes. This marriage was granted by the father and related to the centuries-old marriage between Dayu and Baiyue. With the temperament of the father, even if she died, it would not be shaken!
These days, the third princess has been extremely conflicted. On the one hand, she does not want Kuilang to be restored, because if this happens, she may have to follow Kuilang to the Southern Barbarians and Baiyue. On the other hand, she hopes that Kuilang can be restored, because only in this way, she will not become Dayu. A discarded child...
But no matter which ending it is, she has no hope in this life!
"Cousin Yu," the third princess closed her eyes and said weakly, "I can't even resist my father's decision, so what can you do..." You can only accept your fate.
"Jiyu, listen to me!" Wen Yu slightly raised the third princess's chin with one hand and said seriously, "There is no end to the road, it all depends on man. Didn't some princesses in the previous dynasty return to the country to find a good match? ..."
The third princess's eyebrows moved, she looked at Wen Yu thoughtfully, and said: "Cousin Yu, you...you mean Princess Shuihuan from the previous dynasty..."
More than a hundred years ago, Princess Shuihuan of the previous dynasty married the leader of the ancient Qiang tribe, but on their wedding day, they killed the leader of the ancient Qiang tribe... And on the same day, Princess Shuihuan's brother-in-law married the leader of the ancient Qiang tribe. Brother and General Li took the opportunity to destroy the ancient Qiang tribe.
Since the ancient Qiang tribe was destroyed, Princess Shuihuan should return to her country, and finally got married to her sweetheart, General Li. Princess Shuihuan's brother ascended to the throne a year later. Princess Shuihuan and her consort became a loving couple and lived a noble and prosperous life.
A spark of hope flashed in the third princess's eyes, but then it went out again.
For thousands of years, countless princesses have befriended the barbarians, and only one Princess Shuihuan was born. Besides, Princess Shuihuan has her brother who makes decisions for her, but she has nothing? ! Even the eldest emperor brother only regards himself as a chess piece that can be discarded at any time!
"Jiyu, you have me!" Wen Yu gently held the third princess in his arms, gently stroking her beautiful black hair, with affection in his voice, "Don't worry! I'm here!" It all depends on people, we still have time to plan slowly. I will work hard for our future..."
The third princess's body, which was still a little stiff, gradually relaxed as Wen Yu whispered softly, and her heart dropped.
Yes, Cousin Yu is right. They still have time. Even if King Zhennan wants to conquer Baiyue, it will not be possible in a short time... Since cousin is willing to work hard for their future, then You can’t accept your fate either!
"Cousin Yu," the third princess raised her head in his arms and said with a serious face, "for the sake of our future, I will be patient!"
Wen Yu smiled softly, and his seemingly tender eyes contained a contentment that only he knew.
After a while, he let go of the third princess and said softly: "Jiyu, it's time for you to leave. If you stay, I'm afraid someone will be suspicious."
The third princess looked at Wen Yu reluctantly and nodded.
The palace maid in pink who had just led the way appeared again at some point, and the third princess followed her and walked back three times.
The third princess's personal maid followed her, looking at her master with some worry, thinking: Your Highness the Princess is playing with fire! ...But His Highness is allied with the down-and-out prince who is close to the Southern Barbarians, and the worst is nothing more than this...
In the complicated thoughts of the palace maid, several people arrived at the Taiping Hall. The guests in the hall had already arrived, and Kui Lang and Guan Yubai were already seated in their respective seats.
The palace maid in pink led the third princess to Kui Lang. Kui Lang was in a good mood at the moment. He only glanced at the third princess casually, thinking that she should have gone to pay respects to the queen or Li Bin, and was too lazy to ask more questions.
The third princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, Wen Yu also entered the Taiping Palace under the guidance of a young eunuch.
The third princess couldn't help but look at him, and when she saw him smiling at her, her heart was as sweet as honey, and she half-bowed her head in shame.
Wen Yu continued to walk forward, looking around seemingly casually. When his eyes met Han Lingguan, he blinked twice quickly, which meant, it was done.
Han Lingguan picked up a glass of water and wine on the table as if nothing had happened, twirled the glass towards Wen Yu, and then drank it all with a smile, a proud smile on his lips. He knew that women were the easiest to coax!
As soon as Wen Yu sat down, the waiter's voice sounded: "The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"
The emperor and the queen ascended to the throne under the respectful eyes of all the officials, and everyone stood up and saluted.
After the emperor sat down, he put one hand on the handrail of the faucet, raised the other hand casually, and said: "Without courtesy! All your ministers, please sit down!"
After the ministers sat down again, the emperor held up a glass of water and wine, glanced around the palace, and said, "Where is Guan Aiqing?"
Guan Yubai stood up, bowed his head and said, "I am here."
The emperor continued in a loud voice: "Aiqing will leave for southern Xinjiang tomorrow. I will host a banquet to see you off today. I hope you have a safe journey and help the king of Zhennan to help Baiyue's affairs and save the people of Baiyue from fire and water. Among them!"
Mandarin Bai said respectfully: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's favor!" His voice was as clear as the wind.
The emperor laughed a few times, asked Guan Yubai to sit down, then raised his wine glass and said: "All the ministers raise their glasses together to respect the official and love the minister!"
The ministers raised their glasses one after another, and after the emperor raised his glass to drink first, the others then picked up their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
Then there was a round of drinks, the musicians played melodious music at Eunuch Liu’s instruction, and then a group of dancers in emerald-colored dresses entered the hall with graceful and light dancing postures. The atmosphere in the palace was very lively, and the officials were whispering to each other from time to time, chatting and enjoying the dance.
On this day, the palace banquet did not end until the moon was above the willow branches. The officials who could not conceal their drunkenness dispersed one after another and went back to their respective mansions.
Early on the next morning, as soon as the genius showed up, Guan Yubai led a thousand elite soldiers and set off from the royal capital to the southern Xinjiang...
