Chapter 127
Yu Pinyan led a large army back to Beijing without showing up all the way. Because Emperor Cheng Kang intended to block the news, no one knew that the Western barbarians were almost destroyed by other clans.
The most common thing the court officials think about every day is the team. If you impeach me today and I impeach you tomorrow, I will fight for the achievements of the dragon. Emperor Cheng Kang was very happy to see it, but in fact the butcher knife in his hand was already raised high.
The army was still a few days away to arrive in Beijing. In order to cover up, Yu Pinyan had to send her sister back. As they said something, they kissed each other again. It took half an hour just to say goodbye. It was Liu Lu who risked his life to urge them to separate.
Because her daughter's house could not always live in Zhenguo Temple, two months after she left, Shen Yuanqi ordered the girl to take a car back to Shen Mansion as if she were to do it. Then he claimed that her sister was seriously ill and refused to see guests.
Yu Xiang sneaked into the Shen Mansion from the corner gate and saw Shen Yuanqi staring at him with a dark face.
"Are you back?" He walked over and looked at his sister up and down, "But is that okay?"
"I'm fine, I can't be better." Yu Xiang narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Shen Yuanqi couldn't stand her sweet appearance and scolded her with a tiger face, "Hurry up and dress up and go out to see the Ninth Princess."
"Why is Xiao Jiuer here? Didn't you say I'm seriously ill and refuse to see guests?"
"The Ninth Princess is a body of a thousand gold. Can I stop her if she insists in?" Shen Yuanqi's dark face showed a faint smile, and his tone became softer. "The Ninth Princess values love and friendship. After learning the truth, she tried her best to cover it up. Thanks to her frequent visits to you in recent months, there has been no doubts among others, otherwise your reputation will be ruined if it is reported."
"If they like to say something, let them say go, I won't lose a piece of meat. No matter what others say, my brother will never want me." Seeing that his brother glaring at him, Yu Xiang quickly changed his words, "But thank you Xiao Jiuer, I'll clean up and go out to see her."
Shen Yuanqi was satisfied and went to the side hall to report to the Ninth Princess. Because the Ninth Princess came to visit the mansion three or five days a day, and because her sister was not around, she couldn't let her sit down. Therefore, Shen Yuanqi had to leave the men and women alone and talk to her. Over time, she became more fond of the simple Ninth Princess.
Time flies, Yu Xiang only washed her face, changed into a dress and hurried to the side hall. When she heard the giggling of the Ninth Princess, she was so happy. After leaving the hustle and bustle of the battlefield, the bursts of laughter instantly made her eyes red.
"Xiang'er, you're back!" The Ninth Princess immediately rushed over when she saw her best friend, pinched her arm and said, "You're losing weight, come and eat something."
Yu Xiang was staggered by her, and then she realized that she had gained a lot of weight after a few months. Her face was round and her fair skin was shattered like a crystal bun.
"The Ninth Princess said, come here to eat quickly. I have eaten dry food in the past few months. I haven't eaten a big white rice in a long time, right?" Shen Yuanqi felt very distressed. While speaking, he ordered someone to prepare wine and food. In order to avoid suspicion, he gave up after a few words.
"Don't leave..." Before the Ninth Princess finished speaking, he had already left, and his handsome and tall back was getting farther and farther away.
"Stop looking, my elder brother is the most respectful. It is the limit to be able to take time to say a few words to you every day." Yu Xiang raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "I have been leaving for several months. It seems that you are not worried about me at all. Look, you are so fat. I said I am coming to see me, but it is actually to see my elder brother?"
The Ninth Princess hurriedly glanced at the palace maids standing by the door, and found that they didn't hear Yu Xiang's whisper. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a blushing face, "You are so smart, you have guessed this. Lord Shen is so beautiful, he is the best man in all the great men. He can't even see it no matter how much I ask me to see it. Do you know, every time he waits for me to finish the pastry, I will take me away. I try my best to eat it for a while, so I gain weight. I also worry about you, but my father and mother both say you are fine."
Yu Xiang pinched her fleshy double chin and said while holding back her smile, "It turns out that you are so blessed. Don't worry, if you like, come, and see if you want. I will never force you to eat. Whenever you see enough, I will send you back."
"The father is right, Xiang'er, you are indeed loyal!" The Ninth Princess smiled and gave her a thumbs up and continued, "Then what do you think I am your sister-in-law?"
Yu Xiang was drinking tea, and almost choked to death when he heard this. He finally breathed and covered her mouth and warned, "Princess Shang is not a trivial matter. Don't say this outside, otherwise my elder brother will be roasted on the fire. Your marriage is all up to your father, and you don't have to say it."
The Ninth Princess was wilted and felt that it was boring to eat pastries. She sat for a while and stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, she said she would come again tomorrow. After Yu Xiang returned to the room, she immediately took a fragrant flower petal bath and fiddled with the rouge beads and hairpins that had been away for a long time in front of the mirror.
"Help me dot Kodan." She put her hand on the dressing table.
Taohong and Liu Lu quickly took out a small bowl to make phoenix flower juice. When they smelled the refreshing fragrance, they suddenly felt like they were a different life. When they applied the elixir, Liu Lu combed a very delicate and complex Chaoyunjin fragrant bun on a whim. They specially picked up the gorgeous bead hairpin and inserted it into the bun. They also picked a bright red juanya gold silk embroidered long skirt for her to change it.
Yu Xiang was dressed properly, drew his eyebrows and lips in front of the mirror, pinched a thin sheep's brush, and mixed gold powder with wax oil, and drew a lotus in the middle of his eyebrows.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and turned to Taohong, asking, "How is it? Is it beautiful? I've been running around for several months, and my appearance has not been damaged, right?"
"It's not just not lost, Miss, you are much more beautiful! I was so stunned!" Taohong raised two thumbs.
Liu Lu smiled with her lips pursed.
"It is also a sin to be too beautiful. My legs must be good and bad sometimes, otherwise it will cause trouble if they are too eye-catching." Yu Xiang smiled and sighed with his cheeks.
Liu Lu's raised lips twitched slightly.
He really said that he would come from whatever he said. At the last moment, Yu Xiang said that he would cause trouble, but at the next moment, a little girl came to report that someone had come from the Sun family again.
Because Mrs. Sun's handling was done properly, the girl died and left a blood letter. But her family refused to help her seek justice for five hundred taels of silver and dozens of acres of fertile land. If it weren't for the purpose of continuing to blackmail the Sun family, the blood letter would also be burned.
Shen Yuanqi found the family several times, and as soon as he said the word "injustice", they cried and would rather die than obey. Shen Yuanqi couldn't, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it. Unexpectedly, he recognized it, but Sun Mingjie refused. He had long coveted Yu Xiang's beauty, and thought that she had broken her legs. He couldn't help but fiddle with it on the bed. He tried to kill her and said that she was weak and sick, and then gave up. There was no more suitable wife than her.
Therefore, Sun Mingjie refused to give up and sent the Iceman to propose marriages again and again. At first, he was polite. After Shen Yuanqi was suspended for the prince's plead for mercy, the Sun family became arrogant and changed their words to take Yu Xiang as a concubine, which made Shen Yuanqi so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Yu Xiang heard the little girl explain the whole story in a few words, and walked to the front hall with a grim erection. As soon as he stepped into the threshold, he heard Bingren laughing in disdain, "Mr. Shen, please agree quickly. There will be no shop after passing this village. Young Master Sun has now taken errands in the Ministry of Personnel. Not only is he handsome and elegant, but he also has a great future. On the other hand, what else is your lady besides her appearance? Not only is she a eccentric temper, but she is also not good at walking. Although she has been cured, she thinks she is not as good as ordinary people. You are still the Minister of Dali Temple. After the emperor comes to depose you in the future, it will be very difficult to marry your lady to a family like the Sun family."
Because most of the officials of the prince were abandoned by the emperor, and the prime minister now has an unpredictable future in the prison, a frontman like Shen Yuanqi will sooner or later be demoted in the eyes of the world. Therefore, the ice man not only did not have any respect for Shen Yuanqi, but also had a vague contempt.
Before Shen Yuanqi spoke, Yu Xiang sneered first and asked, "I want my grand Sinong Township Lord to give him a small official with a pen and pen as a concubine. Where did he have such a big face? Why don't you ask Mrs. Sun to come to the palace together tomorrow to meet the Queen, and ask her if our great man has any precedent for a small official with a sixth-rank official. If so, I have nothing to say and I will go to his Sun family's door. Then I will send someone to send a letter to the Queen to ask for a meeting. You should go back and bring the words to you, and say I will wait for Mrs. Sun at the palace gate tomorrow, and I will meet."
The bright red brocade robe was blown up and down by the wind, and a strong fragrance swelled in the face, which was fascinating. The girl was already bright and unparalleled, and at this moment there was a blazing anger in her eyes, which made the golden lotus on her eyebrows seem to burn. This was a kind of beauty that was almost suffocating. Just look at it, her pupils felt like they were stabbed, and it hurts so much.
The Iceman subconsciously stood up to greet her, and the arrogant expression on her face was replaced by fear. How could an ordinary person touch the girl, who was as fierce as fire? She couldn't help but think involuntarily, and when she understood what she said, she was even more frightened.
The Yu family and the Shen family were in a downfall, so everyone forgot the identity of Yu Xiangsi Nongxiangjun. Now when she mentioned it, Bingren thought of this and complained secretly in her heart.
"But I am arrogant. How can the Queen of Xiangjun be worthy of a mediocre person like Master Sun? I have returned to Mrs. Sun, so I ask Queen of Xiangjun not to blame me." Bingren apologized and retreated. As for the appointment to meet the Queen tomorrow morning, it is not something she can solve. Let Mrs. Sun have a headache.
It’s not good to provoke Miss Yu San, who insists on provoking her reputation, has changed her surname but her temper has not changed at all. She is even more protected by the ninth princess. No matter how down and outdated she is, it is not something that ordinary people can bully.
The Iceman was very regretful, for fear that Yu Xiang would raise his whip and beat him up. Fortunately, Lord Shen stopped him, so she could escape without any damage.
"All people have bullied you, why are you good people?" Yu Xiang glared at his brother fiercely.
