The new house was quiet. Sitting inside, Su Rui could still faintly hear the noise coming from the front yard and the laughter of several girls leaving outside the yard.
"You all, please step aside." Luo Jinyan's voice sounded at the door, and Su Rui, who was sitting beside the bed, couldn't help but tighten her fingers holding the handkerchief.
Soon she heard the sound of the door opening and closing, and then the footsteps approaching from far away. Su Rui felt that her heartbeat was getting louder with the footsteps.
She had never been so nervous in her life...even when she left home privately to take the provincial examination.
Su Rui couldn't help but think to herself: She used her life-long event as a bargaining chip to make a deal with a man she didn't really know in exchange for her freedom.
In fact, the only thing she can bet on is the other person's character.
Suddenly her eyes lit up. Su Rui raised her head in confusion and saw that the hijab on her head had been gently lifted. Standing in front of her was a gentle, handsome and elegant young man in scarlet brocade.
Luo Jinyan lowered his head and looked at the beautiful girl with delicate makeup in front of him, as if he saw a hint of fear and confusion in her eyes.
Luo Jinyan put the red hijab aside and said softly: "Arui, don't be afraid."
"Mr. Luo." Su Rui's pretty face turned red and she pursed her lips and said softly.
Luo Jinyan smiled and said, "You and I are already married, so this title may not be appropriate for others to hear."
Su Rui was also startled, and quickly changed her words: "You are right, please be careful."
Luo Jinyan nodded and smiled: "That's it, we will be a family from now on. Don't worry, Ari, the things I promised you before will always be valid."
Su Rui blinked her eyes and felt relaxed unconsciously when she saw his smiling and gentle face.
Compared to a military commander, the man in front of me is indeed more suitable to be a civil servant.
It seems that whenever he opens his mouth, there is a power that makes people unable to help but believe.
"Okay, please give me more advice in the future." Su Rui nodded and said softly.
These words were a bit distant, which made Luo Jinyan frown slightly, but he didn't say much.
Luo Jinyan turned around, picked up two glasses of wine from the table next to him, walked back, and handed one of the glasses to Su Rui.
Combined wine.
Su Rui raised her hand to take it, and the two looked at each other and saw a bit of smile in each other's eyes.
No matter what the future holds, after drinking so much, they will spend a long time together.
The fragrance of flowers floated faintly in the night. In the garden, Luo Jun sang a little tune and walked lightly on the bluestone path.
Xie Yan followed her, his eyes filled with tenderness and smile as he watched her humming and jumping along the way. Seeing her stepping on the edge of the path, she was about to plant herself into the flowers on the roadside.
Xie Yan reached out and grabbed her back.
Looking down at the girl with shining eyes in his arms, Xie Yan chuckled, "Drunk?"
"No...no!" Luo Junyao said categorically, "I only drank a little bit." He raised his hand to make a gesture, trying to prove that he really only drank a little bit.
Xie Yan sighed softly and said softly: "Are you drunk after just a little bit? Your ability to drink is not that bad?"
Luo Jun tilted his head and glared at him and said, "I told you I'm not drunk. It's obviously you... you drank a lot, and I can smell it." After that, he put his nose in front of him, sniffed, pointed at him and said
: "You drank too much, and you falsely accused me! I told you...that, a small drink, a big drink...what's that?"
"Indiscriminate sex." Xie Yan added for her.
Luo Junyao nodded and said, "Yes, promiscuity! If you get drunk again, I will ignore you!"
Xie Yan chuckled lightly, and Luo Junyao stared at him and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing." Xie Yan denied, "I'm drunk. Can you rock me back to rest?"
Luo Jun shook his head and thought for a while, then slowly nodded and said: "That's okay."
It was said that she helped Xie Yan go back to rest, but in fact she just pulled Xie Yan's sleeves and walked forward.
Xie Yan wrapped an arm around her from behind and watched her walking forward with a confused look on her face. He shook his head silently and leaned over to hug her up.
Suddenly flying into the air, Luo Junyao woke up and wanted to struggle, but her little strength was drunk, how could it compare to Xie Yan?
"do not move."
The girl who was still struggling suddenly became quiet, and after a while she whispered: "Oh."
Xie Yan carried the person all the way back to the room, put the person on the bed and was about to get up to call someone to help her wash up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, someone grabbed the hem of his clothes and pulled him back, "Where are you going?"
Xie Yan said softly: "Lie down obediently, and I'll ask Lanyin and the others to come over and take care of you."
Luo Junyao shook his head repeatedly and held on to the collar of his clothes, "No, no, no! I don't want Lan Yin!"
Xie Yan sighed, and through the candlelight he saw her somewhat blurred eyes and flushed cheeks after drinking. It seemed that she had indeed drank a lot tonight.
"Then what do you want?" Xie Yan asked softly.
Luo Junyao opened her eyes wide, looked at the person in front of her intently, and suddenly showed a big smile. She grabbed Xie Yan's clothes with both hands and stood forward. A touch of warmth slowly passed over Xie Yan's lips.
Xie Yan looked steadily at the little girl in front of him who was smiling like a cat.
"You're so beautiful." Luo Junyao smiled fondly.
This was not the first time Xie Yan heard this. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh? How beautiful is it?"
Luo Junyao raised his hand and said: "The most... the most beautiful!" One hand was not enough to support Drunken Cat, and her body went limp and fell back on the bed.
With the beautiful man in front of me, wouldn't it be a shame if he didn't touch her? Luo Junyao thought in a daze.
Luo Junyao forcefully pulled Xie Yan towards him, turned over and looked at the handsome man lying on the bed with great pride. He leaned over and pecked him on the face, with a bright smile on his face, "Beauty, just obey me.
Bar!"
After saying that, she reached out to pull out the beauty's clothes. However, Xie Yan's clothes today were a bit cumbersome, and she was so drunk that she only opened the collar a little for a while.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! She became a little impatient for a moment, and she focused on her clothes, completely missing the storm brewing in Xie Yan's deep eyes.
The world was spinning for a moment, and Luo Junyao found with some confusion that he had changed directions.
The almost instinctive sense of crisis made her reject such oppression even when she was drunk. She struggled to push the person in front of her away. However, her hands were quickly restrained and unable to move. She blinked and a trace of emotion appeared on her face.
With a pitiful look, "What are you doing? You can't bully me..."
Such a pitiful little appearance is very rare.
Xie Yan chuckled lightly, and gently brushed the acupuncture point on her waist with one hand. The body that had been secretly accumulating strength instantly became as soft as a puddle of water.
Xie Yan leaned over and leaned his forehead against hers, laughing softly: "You're so drunk and you still want to attack?"
"Woo, you bully me..." Luo Junyao actually didn't know what he was talking about. If he couldn't beat him, he would show weakness and then look for opportunities to fight back. This was an instinct almost engraved in his bones.
Xie Yan sighed softly: "I won't bully you."
"Then what are you doing?" Luo Junyao said blankly.
Xie Yan said: "What you said is randomness." He lowered his head and pursed his moist and bright red lips, raised his hand and dropped the embroidered curtain heavily, gathering the spring light in the room behind the curtain.
In the early morning, Luo Junyao poked his head out from behind the bed tent with a resentful expression, and saw Lan Yin coming in with water.
"The princess is awake?" Lan Yin smiled sweetly when she saw the princess waking up, "If the princess doesn't want to sleep, just get up. Master Qu and Mr. Dieying have been waiting for the princess for a while."
Luo Jun retracted his head with a swish, sat up from the bed and asked, "Ayan went out?"
Lan Yin said: "There is an early morning court today, and the prince will go out before dawn."
Luo Junyao rolled his eyes, opened the bed curtain and got out of bed.
Lan Zhen, who came in behind Lan Yin, quickly came forward to hang up the bed curtain. Another girl had already brought the clothes to wear today.
Luo Junyao was angry. Everyone went to bed very late, so why could Xie Yan get up early? She...
Thinking of what he had done last night, Luo Junyao couldn't help but blush and hit his head.
Sure enough, alcohol and sex are misleading, I will never drink again!
After washing, Luo Junyao sat in front of the dressing mirror and let the girl tie her hair, while asking: "When did Qu Tiange and Dieying come?"
Lan Yin said: "It's almost an hour, right? Before leaving, the prince told us not to wake up the princess. Mr. Qu and Mr. Dieying went to find Mr. Zhu first."
Luo Jun shook his head, knowing that these two people were probably looking for her about the Cao family's affairs.
"Just put your hair into a bun." Luo Junyao said to the mirror.
The girl with her hair pulled up responded and quickly made a simple bun with her skillful hands.
Lan Yin picked a hairpin, compared it with Luo Jun's head, and suddenly said: "Princess, please change some clothes." Then she turned around and ordered: "Go and put on the silver-embroidered peony dress that I just made a few days ago.
Bring me the purple spring shirt."
Luo Junyao looked up at Lan Yin in confusion. Her clothes were also newly made spring shirts. Is there anything wrong with her?
Lan Yin covered her lips and smiled softly, then raised her finger and pointed at her neck.
Luo Junyao was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, the expression on his face suddenly became stiff.
She glanced at the little girl behind her who had just put her hair into a bun, and used the movement of her hairpin to glance at herself in the mirror without any trace, and her eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
Xie Yan!
Looking at the slightly embarrassed look on her princess's face, Lan Yin couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.
It is a good thing that the prince and the princess are in love. The girl who just changed the princess's clothes and tied her hair must have seen it, but no one dared to say it.
But if the princess was seen like this by others, she would definitely turn around in anger, so it was better for her to remind the princess quickly.
When Luo Junyao entered the flower hall, Qu Tiange and Zhu Siming were sitting and talking. Seeing Luo Junyao come in, they both stood up immediately, "I've met the princess."
Luo Jun waved his hands and said, "No need to be polite. You two have been waiting for a long time. Where are the shadows going?"
Zhu Siming smiled and said: "Back to the princess, Dieying just received a message and went out. I think I will come back later."
Luo Jun shook his head, walked to the main seat and sat down, "Master Qu came here early in the morning, but what news is there?"
Qu Tiange nodded and said: "There is news from Qingzhou."
"So fast?" Luo Junyao was a little surprised. Although Qingzhou is not as far from Shangyong as Yizhou, Suzhou and Huaizhou, it is not too close. It still takes a lot of time to go back and forth.
Qu Tiange said: "It's just some basic news, sent back by a fast horse that has traveled eight hundred miles."
This is the advantage of Xie Yan being in charge of the Zhenguo Army. The transmission of messages under the secret camp can be expedited by taking the official road for 800 miles. Not only can pedestrians retreat along the way, but horses can be replaced at the post station at will. The speed is naturally much faster than ordinary message transmission.
many.
Luo Junyao took the letter from Qu Tiange and opened it. He frowned and said, "It is true that Yunhai Academy was burned down and that the teachers and students of Yunhai Academy were imprisoned, but other things have not been verified."
Zhu Siming nodded and said: "Exactly, it is not easy to investigate the matter half a year after it happened. Moreover, none of the officials under Qingzhou reported the matter. This is by no means simple. It may not be possible to just rely on the Secret Code Camp to secretly collect evidence.
It's useful. One or two ordinary imperial envoys may not be able to deal with Cao Mian. I'm afraid the prince will still have to send available people to Qingzhou to verify this matter."
Luo Jun shook his head and put the letter aside.
Qu Tiange continued: "In addition, Cao Mao sent someone to Qingzhou a few days ago to deliver a letter. We intercepted the letter on the way and asked the princess to read it."
Luo Junyao took it and didn't rush to look at it. He asked, "Have you let the original letter pass?" If it was really intercepted, it would be boring.
Qu Tiange said: "Princess, please don't worry, I sent someone to read the letter in private and put it back without being discovered."
"That's good."
Luo Junyao opened the letter and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The content of this secret letter was very simple. It just said that Chen Xun and others had fallen into the hands of unknown people and that they had been threatened with one hundred thousand taels of silver. They asked the eldest son for instructions.
There is also a mention of the death of the eldest son of the Fang family in Yingzhou.
What made Luo Junyao a little curious was what Cao Mao called the eldest son of the other party in Xinzhou.
Not Mr. Fang, nor his full name, but... Mr. Shuo.
If Luo Junyao had not known the cause and effect of the matter in advance, and knew the name of Mr. Fang Fang Shuo, he would not have known who was written in this letter.
This name is unlikely to be the name of a general relationship.
Luo Junyao thought for a moment, slowly folded the letter, raised his head and said to Qu Tiange: "If the people in Qingzhou can't find out anything about the Cao family, they should first check the private relationship between the Cao family and the Fang family. Maybe they will gain something.
"
Qu Tiange nodded and said, "Yes."
Zhu Siming said: "What the prince said before, our people in Yingzhou may not be reliable. Mr. Qu, please be careful."
Qu Tiange said: "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention."
Luo Junyao looked at Zhu Siming and asked, "When can Dai Yunwen arrive in Qingzhou?"
Zhu Siming thought for a while and said: "Master Dai has already set off back to Shangyong. If he receives news on the way and is diverted to Qingzhou, he should arrive in a few days. However... although he is the prince's imperial envoy, if he wants to confront the Governor of Qingzhou head-on
I’m afraid it’s a little difficult.”
Ordinary circumstances may be nothing, but the situation in Qingzhou is obviously unusual.
There would be some intrigues among officials from various places, but Cao Mian was able to completely suppress such a big matter within the territory of Qingzhou. No civil servants or military generals even offered to impeach him, which shows his control over the officialdom of Qingzhou.
Luo Junyao said: "Ayan probably has no intention of letting Mr. Dai go head-to-head. It's just that Shangyong can't find a suitable candidate to go to Qingzhou at the moment, so just let Mr. Dai go there and see that no big trouble happens."
Zhu Siming nodded in agreement.
Now that the Spring Festival has not ended yet, a group of people were cleared out a year ago and the manpower is already tight. If officials who can compete with Cao Mian are sent to leave the capital at this time, I am afraid it will scare the snake.
