"Is this person really there? I have only heard of it. There are rumors about him everywhere, but I have never heard anyone say that they have seen him."
…
Inside the cabinet, under the green bamboo screen, a woman in red makeup was leaning on the couch. She may have slept for a long time, but there was still a trace of tiredness in her eyes. There seemed to be an impatient look on her eyebrows, and she suddenly looked outside.
Shouted: "Lotus, come in."
The sounds outside suddenly disappeared, and a thin woman walked in. She bowed to the woman on the couch and whispered: "Girl, what are your orders?"
Picking up the tea cup on the coffee table, Hongxiu took a sip of tea, her red lips slightly opened, and her charming eyes looked at the lotus.
"What did you say outside the door just now?"
Hehua lowered her head, not daring to look at Hongxiu. Her hands shook unconsciously as she stood there. She whispered, "Slave, did you not say anything?"
"You didn't say anything? Haha, let me guess what happened..." Hong Xiu put the tea cup in her hand on the coffee table next to her. She covered her body with light gauze, adding to her charming posture. She chuckled and said, "Yes
Isn’t it related to Miss Yun San from Yun Xiangfu?”
Hehua raised her head slightly and met Hongxiu's eyes. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she lowered her head again and said, "No, it's not..."
"It's not related to Yun Yan?! How is that possible?" Hong Xiu immediately sat up from the couch and stared at He Hua and said.
Xu Shihongxiu's momentum was amazing. Hehua took a step back unconsciously. She lowered her head even lower and her voice trembled, "It's really not related to the third lady of Xiangfu. It's Linglong Pavilion. I heard that the emperor gave Princess Zhaoyang to
Married to the Seventh Young Master of Linglong Pavilion."
Hearing this, Hong Xiu frowned and asked, Princess Zhaoyang and the Seventh Young Master? This was a bit beyond her expectation. But she remembered what she saw outside Linglong Pavilion that day, the way Princess Zhaoyang looked at the Seventh Young Master.
, it is possible. However, how could there be no movement from the Prime Minister's Mansion? Under the "Three Days of Joy", no matter how chaste Yunyan is, she will be like the women in the brothel, eager to seek pleasure.
"The Seventh Young Master is in Linglong Pavilion?" Hong Xiu looked at the lotus and continued to ask. As far as she knew, this Seventh Young Master had always been a dragon, and she had only met him last time. Legend has it that this Seventh Young Master was strong and cold, and he would
Do you accept this imperial edict obediently?
He Hua thought for a while and said: "It seems that the Seventh Young Master is not here in Linglong Pavilion, but the Fourth Prince. He seems to be still in Linglong Pavilion. When I first came back, the outside of Linglong Pavilion was crowded with people, all watching the fun."
Standing up from the couch, Hongxiu looked forward. She covered her red lips, a coldness flashed in her eyes, and said with a chuckle: "In that case, I should go and see the excitement." Could it be the king in the world?
Tu, it doesn’t matter if the Seventh Young Master’s wealth is as high as the sky. She wants to see whether the Seventh Young Master will accept the unruly beauty or go against the royal family. But no matter what, it will be beneficial to her without any harm. She doesn’t know why.
His presence always made her a little uneasy. That day outside Linglong Pavilion, the Sixth Prince treated the Seventh Young Master so tenderly. Thinking about it, she felt a little jealous in her heart, even if he was a man!
Hongxiu closed her sleeves and walked directly outside. Lotus behind her stood there shivering. Watching her leave, she unconsciously looked at her arms, which were covered with red marks.
Linglong Pavilion
People had already gathered outside, and it was very noisy. Everyone poked their heads to see what was going on inside.
Inside, at the table on the left, a man in a light yellow brocade robe sat there, with a faint smile on his face. Behind him, Xiao Yao held up the imperial edict with both hands.
Not far away, Qiu Yuan and Xia Ge looked at Mu Qingyuan. This fourth prince came to Linglong Pavilion again and again, and nothing good happened every time. Did he get entangled in Linglong Pavilion?
"Fourth Prince, our young master is not here. It is difficult for us to do business here, so you should please come back." Qiu Yuan finally couldn't help it anymore and walked forward and said. Xia Ge did not stop her, obviously she also felt this way.
This incident made him extremely dissatisfied with Mu Qingyuan.
Looking at Qiu Yuan, Mu Qingyuan said in a good temper: "Miss Qiu Yuan, what you said is wrong. Since I am here to announce the decree to the Seventh Young Master, I naturally have to wait until he comes."
"What is the decree? This is clearly your intention. Our young master will not marry that Princess Zhaoyang. You should put away your wishful thinking." Qiu Yuan glared at Mu Qingyuan and said, after the young master refused to submit to him, he had three
After coming here four times, many people were arranged to monitor outside Linglong Pavilion. It was really shameful.
Xiao Yao behind him shouted: "How dare you be rude to the Fourth Prince."
"Go away, I'm talking to your prince, but not you." Qiu Yuan glared at Xiao Yao displeasedly, and her eyes fell on Mu Qingyuan again, "Fourth prince, you are very good at plotting, but, I tell you
You, even if our young master were here, he would not agree."
"You dare to be rude to the fourth prince, please come and stop her mouth." Xiao Yao shouted, and several guards behind him immediately took action and stepped forward to pull Qiu Yuan away.
Later, Xia Ge became anxious and immediately stepped forward to help Qiu Yuan, but was stopped by a guard.
With a chuckle, Mu Qingyuan looked at Qiu Yuan and said: "Seventh Young Master is a smart man. He will naturally understand the truth. What if a commoner has more financial resources? If he becomes my consort of Dongyue Kingdom,
With my help, from now on, whether he is in business or in the court, he will definitely have smooth sailing."
"Ha, without your help, our young master would probably be more..." Qiu Yuan twisted her arm that was being pulled, and immediately wanted to refute.
At this time, the crowd at the door gave way, and a young man in white suddenly appeared. He had a handsome appearance and an elegant expression.
"Isn't the fourth prince here to announce the decree? Why are you so rude to my people?" The cold voice of the young master in white suddenly sounded, and his whole person appeared in the eyes of everyone.
Hearing this voice, Qiu Yuan quickly shook off the two guards. She turned around, went up to meet him, and said happily: "Master, you are here."
Smiling at Qiu Yuan, Yun Yan nodded.
Bishui directly supported Yunyan's arm, but at this moment, Yunyan unconsciously shrank her hand, and she suddenly jumped away.
Seeing the subtle hint of pain flash across Yun Yan's face, she suddenly thought of something and quickly let go. She gritted her teeth and said, "Young Master, why are you here?"
As for letting the young master marry Princess Zhaoyang without seeing anyone.
Shaking her head slightly, Yun Yan looked at Mu Qingyuan. There was clearly a confident expression in his eyes. He had made up his mind. Didn't she dare to disobey the imperial edict? She chuckled softly, "I think the fourth prince will cancel this marriage."
Don’t bother with it.”
Mu Qingyuan looked at the man in white clothes in front of him, and stood up unconsciously. He was like an immortal descended from heaven, who would never be stained by fine dust. Although it was the third time they met, he always felt that such a man was unsettling.
He couldn't stand it, and he had to admit that he seemed to have lost his glory in front of him, but after all, he was a high-ranking prince, an identity that his seventh son could never compare to.
With a calm smile, Mu Qingyuan said: "Since the first time I saw the Seventh Young Master, I felt that I was destined to you. If we can become a family, it would be a great joy, not only for me, but also for you."
Is it a good thing? His purpose has not changed from the beginning. He has always wanted to win her over and make her his guest behind the scenes. He does want money, but not only to solve the urgent needs of the East Vietnam Kingdom, he
What she wants even more is to control the finances of the entire East Yue Kingdom. She, Yunyan, is not exaggerating. She has never paid attention to the treasury of the East Yue Kingdom. She has hidden her whereabouts in these years, not only to hide her identity, but also to hide her identity.
I didn't want to get involved in these troubles, but I didn't expect that I couldn't escape after all.
"How can I, a commoner with a humble body, be worthy of a noble princess from the royal family? I'm afraid that the four princes and the emperor are looking down on me. If the princess really marries me, I'm afraid she will be wronged." Yun Yan said calmly.
said.
Shaking his head slightly, Mu Qingyuan stepped forward, looked at the young master in white in front of him, and said with a smile: "Seventh Young Master may not know that this royal sister of this king has a special liking for you. She has been visiting your Linglong Pavilion every two days for the past three days.
Come on, besides, the Seventh Young Master is a man of great talent, and only someone like you can be worthy of my royal sister."
Mu Zhaoyang comes to Linglong Pavilion every three days? Hearing this, Yun Yan unconsciously looked at Qiu Yuan behind him. Qiu Yuan saw Yun Yan looking at her and knew what she was thinking, so she could only nod.
Glancing at Qiu Yuan, Yun Yan turned around, why didn't she notice this? Mu Zhaoyang's thoughts were really incomprehensible. She looked at Mu Qingyuan. In this way, there was no way to refuse with nice words.
Yes, but since he had made up his mind to let her marry Mu Zhaoyang, he would not let her go so easily. That would be the only way...
"What if I say that I don't want to accept the order?" Yun Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Mu Qingyuan coldly.
After hearing this, Mu Qingyuan's smile instantly stiffened. He looked at Yun Yan, the expression on his face changed unpredictably, and suddenly he said with a smile: "Seventh Young Master, are you kidding? This imperial edict has been issued, you should understand
, the consequences of disobeying the imperial edict." After speaking, his voice became sharp.
With a calm smile, Yun Yan ignored him and walked a few steps towards the door. Looking at the people watching the excitement outside, he said with a smile: "You don't have to block the door of Linglong Pavilion. You may have heard wrong just now.
Well, there is no imperial edict for me to marry Princess Zhaoyang. Besides, I have important matters to discuss with the Fourth Prince. If you stay here, you will definitely be implicated later."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and someone in the crowd immediately commented: "How could there be a mistake in the imperial edict? Let's put it this way... he doesn't want to marry the princess. Is his brain burned out?"
"That's right, and it's the Fourth Prince who came to announce the decree. Doesn't he want to die?"
"Yeah, let's leave quickly. I'm afraid Linglong Pavilion will be in bad luck."
As soon as these words came out, those who were watching the excitement dispersed in a crowd, and the entire Linglong Pavilion entrance suddenly became deserted. However, Yun Yan felt that the road ahead suddenly became clearer. She glanced outside the door and the corners of her mouth could not help but raise.
Later, Xia Ge came over and whispered to Yun Yan: "Master, if you just said that, I'm afraid that the news of your not marrying Princess Zhaoyang will soon spread throughout the city. Will this cause trouble?"
With a slight smile, Yun Yan looked at Xia Ge and said, "Trouble? Didn't you notice that everyone has left?" No one wanted to get into trouble, so they all avoided it. If no one else left the originally narrow and crowded road,
Isn’t it spacious?
Turning his head, Yun Yan looked at Mu Qingyuan. Where he still had the joyful expression before, his face was already ashen, and his eyes clearly looked like he wanted to eat her up.
"Looking at the appearance of the Fourth Prince, he seems unhappy. I am just telling the truth, because I did not see the imperial edict you mentioned, let alone hear you read it out! Therefore, I naturally want to marry the princess.
Deny it, otherwise won’t it ruin the princess’ reputation?” Yun Yan said with a chuckle, a coldness flashing in his eyes.
Clenching his fists, Mu Qingyuan suddenly looked at the table. The imperial edict was clearly there. All he had to do was read out the edict. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He suddenly looked at the young man in white in front of him.
, catching a trace of the strange look in his eyes, Xiao Yao and others behind him also looked at the Seventh Young Master warily, for fear that he would make a move.
Mu Qingyuan frowned, wondering, what did the Seventh Young Master want to do? Want to kill him? No, he didn't dare! Just when he was hesitating, a man in a cloak suddenly rushed in at the door. His figure was like lightning, and one hand was fast.
He picked up the bright yellow imperial edict on the table, then turned around and ran towards the door, coming and going like the wind.
"Who?!" Mu Qingyuan shouted. He looked at the table. It was already empty. Someone dared to steal in front of him, and it was an imperial edict! The anger in his body rose, and he shouted at the flute.
, "Hurry up and chase!"
After giving the order, all the guards in the house immediately followed Xiao to go out. Only two guards were left beside Mu Qingyuan to protect him.
Looking at the man in front of her, his expression finally changed. Yun Yan raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said lightly: "It was really a near miss just now. I didn't expect there was an assassin. Is the Fourth Prince okay?" She said automatically and said to her.
She stepped back, clenching her left hand unconsciously, and the veins on the back of her hand popped out. It may have been because she moved too much, which involved the wound on her left arm. Now there was a heartbreaking pain in her left arm, and the wound was probably open.
Mu Qingyuan looked at the calm man in front of him angrily. Did he do it on purpose? He came to attract his attention. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Seventh Young Master, you are so brave. Do you know that you
How big a crime have you committed? Stealing the imperial edict is a serious crime that could lead to the death of your entire family."
