In early July, the Beiyan delegation arrived in Beijing.
On the day when the Beiyan delegation entered the city, Shi Fuxin responded to Xiahou Huanyan's invitation and arrived at the private room of the restaurant next to the imperial city gate early, hoping to catch a glimpse of the beauty of Princess Beiyan.
"I heard that this Princess of Beiyan is the most beautiful woman in Beiyan."
"Really? Then I want to see how beautiful she is."
"Aren't you afraid that Chu Yao will be tempted?" Xia Hou looked at Shi Fuxin jokingly, "You know, some time ago, the rumors about Chu Yao marrying Princess Beiyan seemed to be true, so he might not have nothing in mind.
”
"You know, some things are originally unintentional, but if you hear them too much, they will always leave traces in your heart."
Shi Fuxin was very calm: "Others may be captured by Princess Beiyan's beauty, but Chu Yao will not."
Xiahou Huanyan was puzzled: "Are you so sure?"
Shi Fuxin smiled: "Chu Yao is not a person who loves children. In his heart, power is much more important than women."
Xia Hou Huanyan looked at Shi Fuxin with a strange expression: "Chu Yao doesn't love children, but you seem quite happy?"
Shi Fuxin was speechless: "Do you like romantic people?"
Xia Hou Huanyan: "That's not what I meant. I mean, if Chu Yao is really indifferent to feelings, then wouldn't he not be very sincere towards you?"
Shi Fuxin was silent for a moment and said: "I believe that love will last for a long time."
Xia Hou Huanyan: "." It's really rare that Sister Xin also has such an innocent side.
At this time, the noise on the street gradually became louder, and soon, Shi Fuxin and Xiahou Huanyan in the private room on the second floor saw the honor guard of the Beiyan Mission.
The chariot that Princess Beiyan was riding in was surrounded by Beiyan guards.
Through the high hanging curtains, everyone can clearly see Princess Beiyan wearing a scarf.
"Don't tell me, Beiyan's clothes are pretty good-looking."
"The beauty of this princess has not been exaggerated, and even wearing a scarf can't hide her stunning beauty."
Shi Fuxin listened to Xia Hou's happy sigh and smiled: "Beiyan's clothes are bright and colorful. If you dress up like Princess Beiyan, you will be breathtakingly beautiful."
Xiahou Huanyan smiled arrogantly: "Beiyan's clothes are good-looking, but I still like our Da Chu's clothes."
The two of them waited for the Beiyan Envoy team to enter the imperial city, and then came out of the private room of the restaurant. As soon as they entered the lobby, they met Princess Chengyang and several noble female family members.
"Meet the princess."
Xiahou Huanyan and Shi Fuxin were blessed with good health.
Princess Chengyang said 'hmm' and ignored Shi Fuxin, but looked at Xiahou Huanyan with a smile: "I was looking for you for something, but I didn't expect to meet you here." As she said that, she took a red invitation card from the maid's hand.
, handed it to Xiahou Huanyan.
Xiahou Huanyan took it and took a look, her expression changed involuntarily, she quickly covered it with her hand, and then smiled at Princess Chengyang: "Don't worry, princess, I will give the post to my mother as soon as I return home."
Princess Chengyang smiled and nodded: "You and your family are all coming." After a pause, she looked at Shi Fuxin aside and suddenly said, "My son will marry a girl from the Jin family on the 20th this month, and your family will also come then.
Right."
As early as when Princess Chengyang handed over the invitation, Shi Fuxin saw clearly that it was not an ordinary invitation, but a Xitie invitation.
This is not an invitation, this is clearly a slap in the face.
Looking at Princess Chengyang who was full of contempt for her, Shi Fuxin smiled lightly and said: "My little daughter is here to congratulate the princess on her happy marriage."
Xiahou Huanyan, who originally wanted to help Shi Fuxin refuse, was a little surprised when she heard Shi Fuxin's answer.
Shi Fuxin was very tired of Princess Chengyang always holding on to her. Seeing how proud Princess Chengyang was, she continued to smile and said: "Princess has good taste, so she chose the girl from the Jin family as a good daughter-in-law."
"When it comes to the Jin family, they are really noble. Jin Shangshu is not only a member of the emperor's trusted family, but also has close contacts with the fourth prince and the Liu family in private. The relationship is extraordinary."
"Being able to get married with the Jin family, I think it will really agree with the princess's wishes."
Princess Chengyang, who originally wanted to embarrass Shi Fuxin, suddenly opened her eyes when she heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did the Jin family have contact with the fourth prince and the Liu family?
Shi Fuxin pretended to be surprised: "Don't you know this, princess?" Then she smiled awkwardly and said insincerely, "Maybe I made a mistake."
Princess Chengyang looked at Shi Fuxin coldly, not missing the sarcasm and gloating in her eyes.
Marquis Yongchuan holds military power and has always been loyal only to the emperor. If he gets involved with the prince, he will definitely arouse the emperor's fear.
The glory of the Yongchuan Marquis Mansion, her glory, all comes from the emperor, but it cannot cause the emperor's displeasure.
As the younger sister of the same mother as the emperor, she knows very well how much the royal brother values the imperial power in his hands.
Princess Chengyang knew that she might have brought trouble to the Yongchuan Hou Mansion and her son. Anxiously, she pointed the finger at Shi Fuxin again: "You knew about the relationship between the Jin family and the fourth prince, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Now there are only about ten days until her son gets married, and the wedding invitations have almost been sent out. Even if she knew that the Jin family was from the fourth prince's side, she would not be able to regret the marriage.
Shi Fuxin smiled: "Master Fan Xiaohou and I have a good time together. I wanted to remind him intentionally at first, but the princess was always unhappy with me and insulted me in public again and again. How could I do that?
How dare you approach Mr. Fan Xiaohou."
"you"
Princess Chengyang gritted her teeth: "You are taking revenge on me!"
Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "The princess is joking, but the little girl is not so brave."
Princess Chengyang took a deep look at Shi Fuxin, then angrily tossed her sleeves and left.
After they left, Xiahou Huanyan looked at Shi Fuxin helplessly: "Why are you doing this? Once you explain some things, you will completely break your heart."
Shi Fuxin snorted coldly: "She can't always make trouble for me. I have to let her know that even if she doesn't like me, I can make her regretful."
Xiahou Huanyan did not say anything more, but asked: "How do you know that the Jin family has taken refuge with the fourth prince?"
Shi Fuxin: "Didn't the Liu family deal with my family before? They secretly investigated it."
Xia Houhuan looked worried: "The princes who entered the dynasty have begun to cultivate their own forces secretly. I don't know how long the capital can be stable?"
The two went to their favorite restaurant for lunch, and then went back to their respective homes.
After the Beiyan delegation arrived in the capital, in addition to discussing the marriage of Princess Beiyan, they also expressed their desire to conduct business with Dachu so that the two countries could communicate with each other.
After discussion, the emperor finally decided that the tenth prince would marry Princess Beiyan, and decided to open two markets in Rongcheng in the northwest and Mengcheng in Huaiyuan.
The affairs of Fangshi were handed over to Chu Qian, who was in charge of the inner government.
As soon as the news came out that Dachu would open up the trade market with Beiyan, it attracted the attention of countless businessmen. Shi Fuxin was also very interested in this and wanted to participate in the election for business quotas.
Knowing that Chu Yao and Chu Qian had an unusual relationship, Shi Fuxin approached Chu Yao.
Since taking over the Supervision Department, Chu Yao has had his office here, food and accommodation here, and has almost regarded this place as his home.
"Brother Yao."
Meng Moling ran into Chu Yao's office room excitedly. Regardless of Chu Yao's cold eyes, she said excitedly: "Brother Yao, guess who is here?"
Chu Yao glanced at Meng Moling lightly and continued to read the information in his hand.
When Meng Moling saw it, he could only ask and answer: "Brother Yao, the pomegranate is here."
Chu Yao's expression paused. Fuxin would come to the Supervision Department to look for her when she was a little surprised. But considering that she even dared to break into the Beiyan Palace, it was not surprising that she came to the Supervision Department: "Let her come in."
Soon, Shi Fuxin was brought in by Meng Moling.
Seeing Shi Fuxin looking at the furnishings in the room politely, Chu Yao didn't say anything, but just asked: "What do you want from me?"
Shi Fuxin smiled and nodded: "Well, isn't Dachu going to trade with Beiyan? I also want to get a share of the pie, so I'm here to find you."
Chu Yao was silent: "I help you, how much share will you give me?"
Shi Fuxin: "."
Although this is very embarrassing, should we keep things official like this? After all, they are also an unmarried couple now.
"One percent."
"Less, 40%."
"That's more than 40%, 15%, no more."
"Thirty percent."
".Twenty percent."
"Deal."
Shi Fuxin rolled her eyes, she knew this would happen.
"Brother Eleven is also in the Supervision Department. Wait a minute. I will send someone to ask him for a badge to participate in the election."
When Shi Fuxin saw that Chu Yao readily asked Meng Moling to greet Chu Qian, the depression in her heart disappeared.
"You don't mind if I go out to do business in public." Shi Fuxin couldn't help but say.
Chu Yao looked at her: "I mind, will you change for me?"
Shi Fuxin didn't think too much and just shook her head.
There was no expression on Chu Yao's face: "Since I know you won't change because of me, why should I bring trouble to myself."
Shi Fuxin: "You haven't tried it, how do you know I won't do it?" She said, smiling, "If you tell me what you think, even if I don't change my decision, I will take appropriate care of your feelings.
, if you don’t say anything, then I can only do what I think.”
Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin but didn't answer.
The room got a little quiet after that.
Shi Fuxin drank tea slowly, and Chu Yao continued to read his information.
If you look closely, you can see that Shi Fuxin is really leisurely, but Chu Yao is a little absent-minded. Every once in a while, Chu Yao can't help but raise his eyes to take a look at Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuxin noticed it, curved the corners of her mouth, and looked back. Chu Yao would quickly look away, which made her find it quite interesting.
Not long after, Meng Moling came back with a waist badge.
Shi Fuxin didn't stay long after she got her belt. After saying a word to Chu Yao, she stood up and left.
Before stepping out of the room, Shi Fuxin looked back at Chu Yao, just in time to catch his gaze, smiled, and left briskly.
Meng Moling had long noticed the strange atmosphere between Chu Yao and Shi Fuxin. Now when he saw Shi Fuxin leaving, Chu Yao couldn't take his eyes away, and he was suddenly puzzled.
"Oh, you really like this?"
Chu Qian suddenly appeared and walked into the room with a smile.
Chu Yao came back to his senses and calmly covered the information about the 'Heirs of the Long Family' on the desk with a book.
Whether it was Empress Wende or a descendant of the Long family, he was too curious.
Now that a descendant of the Long family appeared around him, of course he wanted to know more about it.
