In the early year of Yixi, on the seventh day of the sixth lunar month, Liu Mu's house was located in Baiguanfang, Jiankang.
The Liu residence, which is usually deserted and unremarkable, is now brightly lit with lanterns and colorful decorations. There is a long line of luxurious carriages parked at the door. From time to time, there are dignitaries and noble ladies wearing silks, satins, and pearls.
Today, it is General Liu Yu who is actually in power in the court. His first strategist, General Shi Liu Muzhi, who is known as the prime minister in black, publicly entertains celebrities in the capital, almost
All the high-ranking families have received the invitation. Of course, the purpose of this banquet is to celebrate the achievements of his two brothers-in-law, the current prefect of Jinling, and the two soldiers of the new auxiliary general Liu Jingxuan, Jiang Bo and Jiang Lang.
.
Yu Yue was dressed in a purple robe and stepped off a luxurious carriage. There was a burst of flattery all around: "Oh, isn't this Yu Nei Shi? (Yu Yue's current official official position is General Ningyuan, Wu Ling Nei Shi)"
, which gust of wind is this, blowing you here."
The corner of Yu Yue's mouth curled up, and he turned around, looking at Wang Yu with a flattering smile on his face, and his son Wang Sui, who was following him in a gorgeous brocade robe, and said with a smile: "General Wang (Wang Yu's current official position is former
General), you and the Young Master are here too. Today is Liu Changshi’s wedding banquet, how can we, the children of aristocratic families, be absent?”
When he said this, he looked at the listless Wang Sui standing behind Wang Yu, and shook his head: "Since my nephew has reconciled with Huan Xuan's daughter, he should be happy that he has been killed this time.
"
When Wang Guobao came to power, in order to win over Huanxuan as a foreign aid, he married Huanxuan and asked Wang Sui, his nephew, to marry Huanxuan's daughter. Later, Huanxuan launched an army to attack Jiankang and captured Wang Yu and his son, who were also
For the sake of his daughter's sake, he spared his father-in-law and son-in-law. After he usurped power and seized the throne, Wang Yu was given the position of minister and servant, enjoying all the glory and wealth.
However, with the defeat of Huan Xuan, although Wang Yu also followed Yu Yue immediately, and a big family like Xie Hun fell to the Jingkou righteous people, the relationship with Huan Xuan could never be washed away, and Wang Sui also
After Jianyi in Jingkou, he was forced to divorce Huanxuan's daughter and sent her back to Jiangling. However, the couple had always had some true feelings for many years. In the past few days, I heard that Huanchu was destroyed, her ex-father-in-law died, and his ex-wife was inevitably taken into the palace as a slave.
, and even the fate of becoming an official prostitute, which made him feel dazed and depressed. He looked particularly special among the guests who attended Liu Muzhi's banquet with smiles on their faces.
Wang Yu's face changed slightly. He looked at Yu Yue's meaningful eyes and immediately understood that Yu Yue was reminding him. While Yu Yue started to greet other guests, he quickly pulled Wang Sui behind him.
When he got to the side, he scolded in a low voice: "What are you doing? Are you trying to cause trouble for our Wang family? Don't even look at whose banquet it is today?!"
Wang Sui said angrily: "It's just a mud-legged staff member. Once he became powerful, he asked all the children of the aristocratic families in the city to come to support him. Dad, our Wang family is so noble, why should we be driven by these country bumpkins? Look,
They act with dignity?!"
The fat on Wang Yu's face jumped, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he still sighed: "People have to bow their heads under the low eaves. Now the generals of the Beifu Army are in power and have great power. Today Liu Mu
This banquet is just to test whether we are loyal to him. If we don’t respond correctly, I’m afraid..."
A clear female voice sounded from the dark corner behind the alley. It was also low and as thin as a gnat, but it was only heard by the father and son: "I'm afraid that the ancestors of the Wang family in Taiyuan will see General Wang's words."
Even if he looks like this, he will be heartbroken under Jiuquan."
Wang Yu's expression changed and he said sternly: "Who? How dare you eavesdrop on this general? I don't want to live..."
Before he finished speaking, a scowl froze on his face, because, from the shadows of the back street, a magnificent and beautiful woman walked out. She was wearing a light green gown that reached the floor. Her skin was as white as snow and as soft as ice.
Bones, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, full of charm, followed by several tall and burly guards like men and bears, she is not the second person in the Jin Dynasty, the coach of the Western Expedition Army, the new wife of the champion general Liu Yi, with
The peerless beauty Liu Tingyun, known as the first lady in Jiankang!
Wang Yu's overwhelming anger just now disappeared without a trace. He changed his face to a smile: "It turns out to be Mrs. Liu, why are you here?"
Liu Tingyun smiled slightly: "Perhaps the noble General Wang is too forgetful. Today, he is serving two new recruits of the Beifu Army. My husband is currently fighting bloody battles on the front line, wiping out the remnants of the Huan clan and all the rebels, so he cannot attend this event."
For this feast, I, a female prostitute, had no choice but to come out and show my face. After all, I just came back from the front line a while ago and took back Princess Langya. I have some experience with the situation on the front line. Brothers of the Jiang family
When discussing merit, I can add one or two additional explanations."
Wang Sui gritted his teeth: "There are no outsiders here now. May I ask Mrs. Liu, have you really forgotten your identity two years ago?"
Wang Yu's expression changed, and he turned around to scold his son, but he heard Liu Tingyun say calmly: "It doesn't matter, it's a good thing that young people have such a bloody spirit. They dare to say things that others dare not say. General Wang, I like it."
Wang Yu turned his head and bowed deeply to Liu Tingyun: "My son is young and ignorant, and has some feelings for his ex-wife. He said something rude at the moment. Please forgive me, madam. After I go back, I will definitely..."
Liu Tingyun ignored Wang Yu and stared directly at Wang Sui's angry face: "Two years ago, I was your mother and Lingrou was my daughter. This has not changed now.
"
A trace of surprise flashed across Wang Sui's face, and Wang Yu also opened his eyes wide and looked up at Liu Tingyun: "Madam, you..."
Liu Tingyun turned to the guards behind her and said in a deep voice: "All of you, retreat. No one is allowed to approach."
When only Wang, his son and she were left in the alley, Liu Tingyun said calmly: "In this troubled world, we are all helpless people. General Wang, you were captured by Huan Xuan in Jiangzhou."
At that time, it was Lingrou who came to me to plead with Huan Xuan and let you be responsible for supervising the construction of the altar where he, Yin Zhongkan and Yang Quanqi formed an alliance. This kind of errand is an insult to a high-ranking noble like you, but that's all.
, only then can you prove your loyalty to Huan Xuan and save your life. At that time, you and I talked for a long time, but you finally bowed your head and surrendered, and this is what we are today."
Wang Yu sighed: "I couldn't understand it at the time and would rather die, but today I realize how precious life is. Madam is so kind that I dare not or forget it."
